My Diaries

I wish I could take pictures of the people I pass outside. It looks like there was a new step in human’s race evolution. Call it what you want, homo modernus or homo technus, the fact is here� : we evolved. Now a human body is not only composed of a head, a trunk, two arms and two legs, it’s been added useful small devices such as telephones or pdas or mp3 players.

I’ve just tried the new IE7 and after 10000000 minutes of installation I finally launch it : it asks me all kinds of parameters, including this anti-phishing thing. I answer NO. Now the first website I go to it opens a Windows Security window and asks me again the same question : do I want to activate the anti-phishing thing or not ? I answer NOOOOO again !

Just before hitting the road again for Denver, and then flying back to Paris, I wanted to say a quick thing of the great stay that we’ve had in Mandan in North Dakota (near Bismarck), at Pete’s dad’s house. (more…)

Now two thirds of our trip is over. We just left Tacoma (in the southern suburb area of Seattle) and Reid ready to fly to an unrevealed destination, and we are now heading south, back to Corvallis. (more…)
