Alguém ainda reunirá num livro estas pérolas de publicidade e outdoors antigos. Quem não se lembra do Licor Beirão espalhado pelas estradas portuguesas?

French UFO declassified

No, it’s not Chirac. After 50 years, the French X-Files are now opened! Bring them on. Can’t access the site. Maybe it was wiped out from The Company.

Até no Tibete!

O Ric Jo fala sobre a Índia, Brasil, América e Austrália. Então e o que dizer de António de Andrade, o primeiro europeu a pisar o solo do Tibete?

Não há dúvida que o pessoal de Marketing da Vodafone anda a fumar umas coisas muito estranhas.

Tetris: from Russia with Love

The first time I played Tetris was on a old ibm pc 286 machine, the DOS version of the game, back in 1991 or 1992. I was fascinated by the game and it was one of my favourites in the 90′s. It still is. I didn’t know about the fantastic story of this game, the author, Alexey Pajitnov and the behind the scene negotiations of the rights to publish and market the game in the west. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie, Nintendo, Atari, Henk Rogers, Robert Maxwell, and the first-mover, Robert Stein. And all of this was in a era of Cold War and Soviet Union. This documentary of BBC Four is a must see for every fan of Tetris. Amazing. Too bad it’s not on Google Video anymore.

É impossível escapar a esta série. Como sou um viciado, já ando pela Season 2. Em Portugal, tanto na FOX como na RTP 1, ainda vão pelo episódio 17 (ou 18, não me lembro) da Season 1.
