Spectrum Dream Jobs 2009

Like every year in february, IEEE Spectrum, published interviews of 10 engineers who have "Dream Jobs"
Worth to have a look to see what kind of better job, you could dream doing, from creating a solar plane for an around the world trip.

Some interesting thing this year, like building electric dirt-bike.

But in my heart, still none are beating those two:

Designer for Lego Mindstorm (Dream Job 2004).
Lau Kofoed Kierstein: Playtime in the Land of Lego
What He Does: Comes up with ideas for new toys; designs toys
For Whom: Lego System A/S
Where He Does It: Billund, Denmark

Mythbuster (Dream Job 2006).
Grant Imahara (M)
What he does: Builder for the Discovery Channel's "MythBusters."
Where he does it: San Francisco.
Fun factors: Enjoys working on the eclectic "MythBusters" set, which features a motorized surfboard, a row of first-class airplane seats, and a larger-than-life rubber cast of a human rear end.
Basically blowing up stuff, in name of science... and entertainment.

Movies previsions for 2009

There is a couple of movies I'd like to see in 2009. Here's the list.

• Up
  because it is the next Pixar movie, directed by Pete Docter (Monster Inc). And the story already attracts me: Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming. But at age 78....


• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
  a David Fincher (Fight Club) about an inverted life ( born old and finish dying young )


• Vicky Christina Barcelona
  because it's been a long long time since I've seen a Woody Allen, and I love Javier Barden. I know it's a 2008 movie but here in Ireland, there's some delay


• The Illusionist
  because it is directed by Sylvain Chaumet, which previous movie "Belleville Rendez vous" was quite magic.


• Synecdoche, New york
  by Charlie Kaufmann, his first movie (directed)


• Bolt
  because in those depressed times, I need a good Disney movie


I also wanted to see the last Darren Aronofsky: "The Wrestler", and I did and was quite happy with it.

Project 365 - Week 4

Week 4 has been a photo-less week ( i am really bad with new years resolutions ), my excuse being upgrding my computer ( hard-drive and OS ), an overload of work at the office, and a very nasty cold... Anyway with february coming it should be all fine now.

Here's a summary of the first month of the project with only 18 of teh 31 photos expected.

Not much again this week, nor during the weekend (though i watch Munster demolishing of Sale, which was not a good news for the future of ASM in the H-Cup)...

Project 365 - Week 2

2nd week of my 365 project:



I've been incredebly lazy since i came back to Ireland, did not even put a foot in a pub, not even been back in the water, just back to work.

Project 365 - Week 1

I've started a new project on Flickr, a 365 project, a picture a day about me, my activities.
I'll summarize each week in this blog:

A bit of web-surfing, comic reading, only 4 day in Ireland.
