Tiens, je viens de tomber, presque par hasard (via Michel Dumais puis le beau et nouveau site de Martine Gingras) sur un nouveau magazine qu�b�cois consacr� aux nouvelles technologies. Bande de cachottiers! C’est moi qui suis dans la lune ou bien est-ce que personne n’avait parl� publiquement de ce projet auparavant? Est-ce compl�tement ind�pendant comme publication, � part l’association promotionnelle avec Branchez-vous? En tout cas je vais aller essayer de trouver une version papier du magazine parce que la version Web est pratiquement impossible � lire.

Ah tiens, bien s�r, La Grande Rousse en parle aujourd’hui. Comme toujours, merci Dolores!

What’s two months salary for an HDTV, baby?

I’m a gadget loving girl, but it looks like I’m not alone. According to this Wired News story:

After interviewing 1,000 men and women, the Consumer Electronics Association found that
58 percent of women would prefer to own a HDTV set than a 1-carat diamond ring.
CEA’s study, which was released on Tuesday, said that 64 percent of women would rather have a digital camera than a pair of half-carat diamond stud earrings. The study confirmed that women like digital toys just as much as men, who are generally believed to be the main purchasers of electronic gear in the home, said a CEA spokesman.
Women initiate almost half — 49 percent — of all electronics purchases, the study concluded.

So darling, here’s a little calculator for you. And wouldn’t this look great on my finger?

A blogger’s paradise.

Sunday night. Big power outage on the Plateau Mont-Royal. A fire, a laptop with a battery fully charged, and one toasty blogger.

I was supposed to work all evening, but there’s no power for my desktop computer, so I’m watching him and the flames instead.

Who wants the power to come back on? Pas moi!
