This is a great Mercedes ad with Alonso, Hamilton and Hakkinen

Several articles have been recently published on the new HP Z3100.

This printer has been announced at Photokina 2006.

Here is a list of important new features for an HP printer:

• First large format printer from HP that uses pigmented inks and is in direct competition to equivalent printers by Epson (7800/9800) and now also Canon (IPF 5000, IPF 8000)
• Features a built-in XRite Eye-One spectrophotometer. The printer can calibrate and profile papers using this spectrophotometer.
• 12 colors with extra Red, Green and Blue with larger gamut (we will only look into this when we find pictures of friends and clients that need a larger gamut (our images are not very saturated and we even print more and more B&W or muted colors )
• 4 black and grays (photo black and matte black loaded at the same time like with the Canon IPF5000)
• Gloss Enhancer to avoid bronzing and gloss differential
• Clog prevention technologies
• Very high permanence rating from Wilhelm Imaging Research (>200 years). We take all these data with some grain of salt but it still proves that today’s printer manufacturers pay a lot of attention to longevity.

Some articles and videos have been published on this printer. I will talk about them in this article.

This year I was at Bucharest for the new year.

In 1989 when I was seeing the revolution at the television I could not imagine being at the same Revolution Place few years later to celebrate the entrace of the Romania into the European Union.

As a matter of fact, I was there!

This video has been made at the Revolution Place when Romania has celebrated its entry into European Union. Being French, my country is part the EU since I am born. So it was great to be in a country that was newly part of it and was celebrating it.

Everybody was enjoying this moment and had a lot of hope.

Here is a funny “fake ad” about Sexual Harassment.

An interesting research software is transforming a 2D image into 3D. It is certainly useless but funny to look at.

Not all girls on ads are top models.

With a lot of make-up and a good photoshop artist, a normal girl becomes a top model.

The New York Times has an interesting video about a new CGI technic used at Hollywood.

A software is able to map any human facial expression to any 3D model. They are just filming somebody, are recognizing lips, eyes and map them to a 3D model. This is really impressive!

Really funny ad!

Imagine playing Super Mario Bros on your shirt, wherever you are!
