Will Poligrafing be Podcasting? Snowpolis. Para. Snowpolis. Paraît-il qu'il n'est pas suffisant de rétablir les webcams et d'être visible sur MSN pour convaincre mes mon nombreux fans que ma période furtive est terminée. Y faut que je blogue en plus ! Dure dure la vie de vedette ! Puisqu'il est question de bloguer, via Geek News Central : 'Blog' most popular word on web dictionary : SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- The most requested online definition this year was "blog" - a word not even yet officially in the dictionary, Merriam-Webster says. Editors had planned to include "blog" - the short term for Web log - in the 2005 annual update of both the print and online versions of Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, said Arthur Bicknell, spokesman for the dictionary publisher. But in face of demand, the company quickly added an early definition to some of its online sites, defining "blog" as "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer." et Blogger for Hire : un blogueur offre ses services sur eBay : Jeremy Wright writes the popular Ensight business and technical blog, which is read by more than 60,000 readers a month. In addition, he writes for other blogs, several magazines, newspapers and websites with a total audience of 3.2 Million readers. Au moment de publier, les enchères en étaient à 1825 $ US. Somme toute, bonne performance des Nordiks lundi soir dans un match nul à 5 contre l'Inter FC. Après avoir dominé en première demie, on a relâché trop vite et on a échappé la victoire. Au moins on sait qu'avec des efforts soutenus on peut s'imposer devant cette équipe qui nous a toujours donné du fil à retordre ces 2 dernières saisons. Brefs commentaires sur 2 récentes acquisitions : Feedback de Rush s'avère fort plaisant ! Les gars se sont permis de visiter quelques succès populaires à leurs débuts tels "Summertime Blues", "Shapes Of Things", et "Crossroads" dont l'audition suffit à m'accrocher un large sourire dans le visage. MIND Vol. 3 d'Isildurs Bane est très différent des deux premiers volumes. Une version minimaliste du groupe se joint au Metamorfosi Trio pour des séances d'improvisations. Certaines pièces sont présentées dans leur forme originale alors que d'autres ont été réarrangées en compositions. L'écoute n'est pas désagréable, mais il n'y a que trop peu de moments forts à mon goût. Ça me fait surtout penser qu'on pourrait produire un album intéressant en appliquant la même démarche au matériel enregistré au cours des Chaos / Néant. En passant, l'acronyme MIND signifie Music Investigating New Dimensions. Au programme ce soir, les Skywalkers rencontrent Exfo à Expo-Cité. - poligraf [The Daily Poligraf] 6:04:43 PM
