If I was a fruit, I'd be a banana.
If I was a factory, I'd be a nuclear reactor.
If I was a city, I'd be Montreal.
If I was an animal, I'd be an otter, in the water craking nuts on my belly.
If I was an element, I'd be water.
If I was a building, I'd be a lighthouse.
If I was a color, I'd be blue.
If I was a vehicle, I'd be a citroen DS.
If I was an art object, I'd be Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.
If I was a smell, I'd be a salty marine breeze.
If I was a period in History, I'd be the Antique Greece.
If I was a sound, I'd be a whale song.
And what about you ?

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.
