Video Conferencia

Video Conference

Viva a tecnologia!!! Sem ela nao seria possivel conversar com os amigos que moram longe e matar as saudades! Seja por telefone, mensagem de texto, msn, skype, holografia, etc, etc, etc, o mundo sempre fica melhor "perto" de quem a gente gosta.


O problema eh agendar um dia e horario bons para todas as partes envolvidas no processo! Apos muitas tentativas, foi atraves do Skype que o trio - Mi, Dine e Paule - pode mais uma vez colocar o papo em dia para celebrar o meu aniversario. A data escolhida foi o dia 25/01/2011 em Sao Paulo e 26/01/2011 em Brisbane (contando com o fuso horario). Coincidentemente, era feriado nas duas cidades (aniversario de SP e Australian Day). Ou seja, deu pra falar horrores sem termos de nos preocupar em acordar cedo no dia seguinte! =D


Abaixo, estao algumas fotos da nossa celebracao.

Viva la technology!!! We wouldn't be able to talk to friends who live far from us without it! Telephone, text message, msn, Skype, holograms, etc, etc, etc... The world is always a better place to live when we are "near" the ones we love!



The problem is to find  a day and time suitable for everyone involved in the process. After many attempts, it was through Skype that the Trio - Mi, Dine and Paule - was able to get together and celebrate my birthday. The date chosen was January 25th in Sao Paulo and the 26th in Brisbane (given the time zones). By coincidence it was holidays in both cities (Anniversary of Sao Paulo and Australian Day), meaning we chatted a lot and didn't have to worry about getting up early the next day! =D

Above there are some pictures of our get together.

(The second video conference has already happened, I'll post it soon!)

Bin Laden e Twitter

Bin Laden and Twitter

Algumas horas atras, ficamos sabendo que o lider da rede terrorista Al-Qaeda, Osama Bin laden foi morto num conflito entre os EUA e militantes em Abbottabad, Paquistao. Ele foi o responsavel pelos ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro de 2001, nos Estados Unidos, e tambem pelos ataques contra as embaixadas americanas na Tanzania e no Quenia, em 1998, entre outros. 

Alem do fato de que, levaram-se quase 10 anos para alcanca-lo e de que esse eh um grande fato historico, o que me impressiona mais eh a rapidez com que as noticias se espalham hoje em dia. Quase instantaneamente, o Twitter foi invadido por uma enxurrada de tweets sobre o caso. E disso tudo, o que eu mais gosto de ver eh como as pessoas ainda mantem o bom senso de humor!!! Adooorooo!!! Veja so alguns dos tweets:

De nada, pessoal.


Few hours ago we came to know that the leader of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight between USA forces and militants in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He was responsible for the terrorist attack in September 11, 2001, in the United States and also for the attacks against the American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, back in 1998. 

Besides the fact they took almost 10 years to find him and this is a huge historical moment, what amazes me about this whole thing is how fast news spread nowadays. Almost instantly, Twitter was a buzz with tweets about the subject. From all of the tweets, what I love more is to see that our sense of humour are still intact, just like the tweets shown above!!! Looove it!!! One says: "They killed Bin Laden? For sure it was Chuck Norris!" Followed by: "Or Anderson Silva!!" Another one, from a Jack Bauer fake account, says: "You're welcome."
