The bane of the World Cup by Roberto Acuna

Surfing Youtube recently, I came across this funny little piece of World Cup association. Trying to include those who have missed the football by accident or design, Youtube has very graciously included a button feature on their videos that goes some way to replicating the viewing experience of World Cup 2010.

A small icon on the right side of the settings bar, the football symbol almost slipped me by, as it seemed to have always been there. I pressed the icon out of curiosity, only to have me jump out of my skin, and have my ear drums explode (I was using earphones at the time).

A Cup Confession by Roberto Acuna

I’ve tried to ignore it. I’ve gone with a lifetime habit and just said I’m not into it. It’s not my thing. Though not my choice, most of the time I welcomed the sound of a match as a nice change of pace from the usual bands or films we put on in the background, but that was the limit of my involvement, the peak of my interest. Just something different to listen to while at work.

Today I was flicking through my Facebook page and found some old notes from a blog long forgotten and I came across this article from howies.co.uk which is quite old now but I still hold close to my heart….

Half geek – half luddite

“I am a contradiction.

On one hand I love broadband, but I also love food the old slow way.

I love apple computers, but as for the apples I eat, well, I don’t want them to be sprayed with chemicals.

I love the fact that e-mail lets me to talk to the world, but I like to shop local for our vegetables.

Good luck England!
