La ville de Montréal et ses aberrations de tickets de parking

admin — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:45:17 +0000

Act 1 : Il y a deux jours ils enlèvent les poteaux qui séparent la piste cyclable de la voie pour les voitures, les gens commencent à se stationner le long de la chaine de trottoir, toutes les automobiles stationnées sur ma rue reçoivent un ticket de 150$ chacun pour s’être stationnés sur la piste cyclable. Act 2 : Aujourd’hui, tous sont stationnés selon les spécifications de notre premier ticket (à environ 5 pieds du trottoir, pour laisser place aux vélos qui circulent sur la voie cyclable), et tous ont reçu un ticket de 50 $ pour être stationné trop loin du trottoir (à plus de 15 cm) ! C’est quoi que j’ai pas pigé, à part le fait que la ville vient de faire 4000$ ( 200$ x 20 voitures ) ? J’ai juste le gout d’aller défoncer un char de donneur de tickets.

This is Lina. She just learned about the interwebs. Welcome her.

She’s still a bit scared of screens. She learns fast. She is the
future, and the past. She travels between countries, timezones and
hearts. She’s my L in a Box. She’s my Lina.

Ponchos + XBox360 + Project Natal + Cirque du Soleil + PixMob by ESKI = Kinect Launch by Microsoft @ E3 2010

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:23:24 +0000

This is all about ESKI’s newest and most innovative technology : PixMob
We make magic !

Quotes
“The crowd of a couple of thousand people cheered as everyone’s satin ponchos all started glowing green. And then the word “Kinect” appeared on a screen. That had to be the most unique introduction of a tech product I’ve ever seen. [...] Sadly, I had to turn in my white satin poncho as I exited.”

http://games.venturebeat.com/2010/06/13/microsoft-shows-off-kinect-through-dazzling-cirque-show/

“As we entered the Galen Center, we were handed a white poncho with large padded shoulders. At first we wondered if we perhaps were at the wrong event and instead had found our way to the set of a new Lady Ga Ga video. Later in the evening, we would find out that those shoulderpads held magic powers that allowed them to change colors and create an amazing visual display. [...] A note to Sony and Nintendo: invest in magic light up ponchos FTW!“

“Simultaneously, the white ponchos we wore began to glow green, bathing the arena in verdant light — the color of the Xbox, the color of the millions of dollars in Microsoft’s marketing coffers, a sizable chunk of which clearly went to putting on the most opulent product launch in the history of videogames.”
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/06/kinect-e3/

“At the exact same time, the shoulder pads in our ponchos lit up, powered by radio activated LEDs. (These same lights were used several times during the performance, timed to integrate the crowd into the act, an unexpected and impressive sight.)”

http://games.on.net/article/9219/Introducing_Kinect_An_Eyewitness_Account

“On the eve of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Microsoft and Cirque du Soleil hosted an extravaganza complete with 75 performers, a life-sized elephant, a gorilla, and 3,000 audience members clad in futuristic white ponchos.”
