Acadie Nouvelle gratuit via le site de la bibliothèque

Des photos en noire et blanc, en 2011, c'est plutôt triste. Surtout sur un iPad!

Ceci-dit, lorsqu'on lie quelques chose sur l'app Kobo en mode "nuit",
et qu'il y a une photo en noir et blanc...

En passant, vous pouvez maintenant télécharger gratuitement l'Acadie
Nouvelle du jour via le site de la bibliothèque (auparavant il y avait
un délais de trois jours). http://gnb.ca/0003

US Gives Alaska to AAA Rated Canada to Pay off Debt (CNN)

If you look carefully at the CNN map, it appears there is even a pixel
for the north of 49th American Indian reservation. Unfortunately, that
attention to detail didn't extend to Alaska...

Oh, before you hop on a short range plane to AAA rated New Zealand or
Australia, you might want to consider that the Pacific and Hawaii have
been chopped of this CNN map.

Now that we Canadians have Alaska, we might as well pick-up Greenland,
as Denmark no longer wants it (according to CNN map). France also has
some over-seas departments worth a look.

Finally, looks like the Falklen War was for naught; the island have
been reassigned by CNN Money to some non-AAA nation.

A House is A Great Investment... or Not

Canadian lawyers now often buy title insurance INSTEAD of doing due diligence. But if the insurance company fails...

Below is what happened in the USA. (60 Minutes).

Dubai Metro at 763km/hr !

This is the most awesome video ever (assuming you are a public transportation geek and tired of looking at people)!



A while back I embeded some other cool public transportation videos, but Google Video closed down! Perhaps that is the best feature of a subway: relative permanency.

This is what can happen when you don't build a subway (Detroit only has a uni-directional people mover). Detroit: A City on the Brink :)
