Fun quotes and facts about Bear Grylls

 

Zapping through the channels and suddenly finding Bear Grylls is like driving on a road and seeing a traffic accident. You don't want to look because you are afraid of the horrible things you might see, but somehow it mesmerizes you and you just can't take your eyes away. No matter how disgusting it is.

He always have to go the most dangerous place, with the most dangerous animals and do the most dangerous things that would kill a normal person for sure. And everytime he says; "But I am going to do something even more dangerous than that!" Argh...

But I have to admit that he have some great quotes sometimes.

What if your website was a country?

 

What if your website was a country? Would it be smaller than the Vatican City or larger than United States?

What if all of your visitors gathered in one place? Would they fill a local pub or would you need a stadium with 100,000 seats?

All these questions are answered by Sharenator Webempires. A fun way of visualizing the size of websites.

Poem of the Day: Jose Rizal - Mi último adiós

 

"Mi último adiós" (Spanish for "My Last Farewell") is a poem written by Philippine national hero José Rizal on the eve of his execution on December 30, 1896. Although the poem was untitled, this title served as an artifice useful as a quick reference.

This poem was one of the last notes he wrote before his execution. Another that he had written before his death was found in his shoe but because the text could not be read it remains a mystery.

Photo of the Day - Isla de Mouro

 

La Isla de Mouro is a Spanish island located off the coast of Peninsula de la Magdalena, at the mouth of the Bay of Santander, in Cantabria. It is very remarkable, even though its territory is only 1.7 hectares. Entirely rocky and fairly flat, with a lighthouse on one of its upper reaches. It is well known by divers for the rich grounds around the island.

In July 1812 during the War of Independence, the English, Spanish allies, captured the island, where withering fire brought down the coastal defenses of the Magdalena Peninsula, taken by the French, and managed to eject them.

Sunrise walk

 

Took the morning walk in Maspalomas while the sun was rising today. No wind, no sand, no clouds. A perfect day!

Back home the wind is starting to pick up again, and you can see the sand in the air.
No no no! I don't want to have more wind and sand!

Windy sandstorm

 

Life - It could always be worse! (Sandstorm in Iraq 2008)

Bloody - uh, sorry - I mean windy hell! Woke up at 5 this morning of the wind trying to take the house for a ride. I thought the windy sandstorm was over yesterday, but I guess it returned for some more. The sand is denser and the visibility lower than yesterday.

The house is full of sand and its 30 degrees outside. But worst of all is that the calima will continue until Sunday!

On the positive side: It's at these times you can finally use the words "What would Bear Grylls have done?!?"

And isn't it ironic...

 

Gotta buy me a camel and a burka...

We made our own little awning-kind-of-thingy over the balcony a while ago, but it fell down during the windy sandstorm in July. This weekend we finally got it back up again.

But what happened today? Another windy sandstorm came, and the awning-kind-of-thingy down it fell...

What goes up - must come down, they say. But it could have lasted a few more days!

All work and no play

 

All work and no play makes the random ramblings incredibly boring. The funny thing is that it seems like the more I work, the less I earn. Maybe I should stop working and become a millionaire?!? Hah, that would be something...

Lately I've been watching a new tv-show; How To Make It In America, and I've got the theme song on my brain. Could have been the theme song of my life anyway...
