Our little boy (2 1/2 years) discovered this week-end two simple joys:

Interesting :-) About 200’000 people (source: protesters, United for Peace and Justice coalition) are demonstrating in the 7th Avenue in NY against the Bush’s policies. The Republican National Convention opens on Monday, also in NY. It seems that Mr Bush wants to use the symbol of NY to establish his “leadership”. Some of the New-Yorkers don’t really agree with this usage. One of them said: “I’m furious that they have the nerve to come here, and use the emotion and pain of 9/11 for politics.”

Let’s find the different articles concerning “Change Management” I posted the last time in the Entrepreneurship section of my website.

I’ve also integrated the 9 posts in one pdf file.

I was this afternoon in Strasbourg (France). Really a very nice city!

New version 1.7 of Sauce Reader (review here and here). What are the new improvements and functionalities?

Sophos, anti-spam specialist, revealed on 24th August a new study about the biggest exporters of spams.

The top twelve spam producing countries are as follows:

We had a very hard working session yesterday (actually half a day off, with some wakeboard on the lake, more pictures to come!) in Zurich. We began with one of our special “brainstorming”…in the McDo ;-) And yes we know “supersize me“. And no, we don’t really care ;-)

Happy birthday Blogger!! Already 5 years old, wow :-)

Blogger looked like this for 5 years:

I’ve seen yesterday some very beautiful old half-timbered houses at the Ecomusee of Alsace (only in French) – Alsace is a region of the north-east of France, near the German and Swiss borders, where I live and come from. My region is often represented by storks, which can be found also in the Ecomusee.

The Ecomusee of Alsace is the largest open-air museum in Europe, visited by nearly 400’000 visitors yearly.

It contains about 70 traditional style buildings which were dismantled piece by piece in their village of origin and reassembled in this living museum. It features constructions dating from the 12th to the 19th century. Visitors can study the technical evolution of traditional building methods.

A half-timbered house from a little village called “Artolsheim”, near the Rhine. I was built in 1561. This house was salvaged from destruction in 1987 at the last minute… Above: before the transport and renovation, below: how it looks like today.

The one below comes from Gommersdorf and was built in 1682.

All that made the daily life of this period (and specially the 19th and 20th centuries), the work and the celebrations of the past generations, is collected and demonstrated. You can also enjoy numerous activities and historical reenactments, as seeing (and hearing) this old tractor.

Really a beautiful place I recommend if you visit our region!

I re-designed my blog, based on the design of my website. All comments and critics are welcome ;-)

PS: crazy how easy it is to implement the re-design with the template and CSS. Cool!
