Live - Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010 - WINNER!

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010 just finished! This year the show was held in Minsk, Belarus, home of the Magic Rabbit - most epic JESC song of all the times.

Today Vladimir Arzumanyan from Armenia celebrates his Victory! There were only 14 participants, so also only 14 voting countries. This made scoring process very dynamic thus after each country's vote the positions in the top-5 were changing dramatically. So, final scores are:


1.   Armenia120
2.   Russia119
3.   Serbia113
4.   Georgia109
5.   Belarus85

And here is the winner song:






You can check out great press conference given by Vladimir at the Minsk Arena just after his victory in the same hall.

And most interestingly - watch the full show stream-video from official web-site of the event:



Movie rental - Micmacs from Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Would be happy to rent the Micmacs movie, but it is not available in my local Blockbaster store.

It is also not available at Redbox (they even don't have Amelie movie for rent! What a shame!!!).

Can I request movie to be shipped in local Blockbaster for further rent?!

I see it available on Netflix, so I'll probably will start my free month trial there to get the movie easiest way.



I l-o-v-e Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies and this one seems to be one more fantastic piece of his unique art!




Crazy trick - billiard and domino stacking combo!



I am not really fan of pool-shot tricks, but this one combines it with domino stocking. Not HD video, but still looks great!

Amazon - Black Friday Deals

Year ago this time I was expecting real deals from Amazon.com

I had placed my selected items in the wish list and was looking forward to buy them cheap.

Black Friday came, Amazon was filled with tons of 'super-deals', but no one of my wish-list item had ever penny to drop in price!

Since that moment I don't believe in Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals anymore.

But, I am ready to give Amazon another chance this year. And here it comes:


Check this link out starting November 22. They promise to give out some sweet stuff.

Black Friday - iPad deals?

Looking forward to see any real deals announced for Black Friday/Cyber Monday on Apple toys... Yet there are just rumors on retail networks and so on, but no any realistic notes.

Apple - iTunes - The Beatles

Seems it is about The Beatles coming tomorrow morning in iTunes.

Wall Street Journal just shared this out:
WSJ reports Apple has acquired rights to The Beatles collection

November 15 - America Recycles Day!

Thanks to Bing I am happy to know, that today is America Recycles Day! Congrats for everyone involved and respect for your time!

Here what Wiki states about this:
ARD is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and buy recycled products. ARD is celebrated November 15.

Hundreds of events are held across the U.S. to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and to encourage Americans to sign personal pledges to recycle and buy recycled products.

Started by the recycling sector organization National Recycling Coalition in 1997, America Recycles Day has been a program of Keep America Beautiful since 2009.

Although America may not enjoy much of a reputation for environmentalism on the global stage, in some US cities recycling levels are much higher than, for example, in the UK

Apple - Tomorrow's iTunes

Khm... Looking for possible clues in Apple's announcement on:

Tomorrow is just another day.
That you'll never forget.

Have found book The Global City: New York, London, Tokyo. But I don't think these are actualy linked.

I would probably long-term remember some exciting Everything-For-Free Day from Apple giving possibility to load anything you want in iTunes for free :)

More realistically speaking I think this will be related to cloud storage or video streaming features in iTunes. And I will forget this in a week.

As for The Beatles - Apple have to put it sometime there in the Library, but this will never be a big deal.
