Travel to Europe’s small countries always offers one an intriguing glimpse of the world’s linguistic future — English spoken universally, but not quite right (admittedly, it’s an unfortunate coincidence that the world’s lingua franca is also the language that features the greatest proliferation of irregularities and so forth). Nestlé headquarters was full of promotional copy that didn’t scan right to a native speaker. Sometimes, they seemed to be working of a very literal translation from ...

Hi everyone, I have had a Dutch article on XML and Excel on my site for quite some time now, but never got round to translating the thing into English. Well, yesterday I found a bit of time during a long train-ride, so here it is: XML And Excel From the intro: Microsoft Office 2003 Professional was the first Office version that took the XML standard seriously. The XML standard has been devised to ease ...

Barack Obama podrá cambiar para bien o para mal la historia de los Estados Unidos y el mundo que rodea a este país, pero de lo que no hay dudas que cambió la web para siempre. El uso, abuso y recurso de la red por parte de los seguidores de Obama y de los medios digitales marca una tendencia irreversible. Antes de Obama y después de Obama. El Chicago Tribune googlemapeó el Chicago de Barack ...

Valve just launched their new game on the ten year anniversary of their classic title Half-Life. This new game puts you and three comrades in a city overrun by zombies. Your mission? To survive. You’ve got to escape the city in order to survive, moving from safe-house to safe-house. There have been zombie themed games in the past, of course. It even seems like nowadays between games and movies, zombies are the new black. When ...

I’m the worst for projecting personalities onto inanimate objects. For this reason, it makes me sad to see a single mitten left in a snow bank. There’s a giant spruce tree in the front yard of our house and one day I noticed the bumps and cracks in the bark made a smirking face that stared at you when you stood in the right place in the window. Unfortunately, a gale force wind blew up ...

Republican election tactics: just be criminal. Huckabee urged the crowd to take friends and relatives to the polls. Turnout will be key in the Dec. 2 race, which occurs just after the Thanksgiving holiday. “If they’re voting for Saxby, get them to the polls,” Huckabee said. “If they’re not, let the air out of their tires.” Of course, he was joking. Right?

Random thoughts running through my head… *** Though we’ve flirted with it in the past, this is the first year that I can say without hesitation that we Americans bypassed Thanksgiving entirely and went straight to Christmas. Boy, doesn’t that say it all. *** I don’t see many leftover Obama/Biden signs. You’d think the pair lost considering how quickly their signs vanished. On the other hand, McCain/Palin signs remain rooted in yards like oaks. I ...

Shaun White Snowboarding has just dropped in a shelf-filling seven flavors (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, PS2 and PC.) With home video game consoles the Wii is in many ways the runt of the pack, lacking the raw horsepower of the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 (both powered by the award-winning Assassin’s Creed engine). Usually with large multiplatform games like this, the Wii version ends up being a crippled and relatively neglected cousin of ...
