Today I have to read a lot of documents (RFPs, white papers), therefore it would be more comfortable to print them.
But I feel ashamed to print documents just to read them and than throw them away. 75% of the people feel the same way (see the article from DataNews : "Vous imprimez et vous en avez honte").
Last year already I wanted to buy the iRex DR 1000s and as one can see the price has been the same for more than 6 months now. It is still 699 Euros.
I'm an enthusiast about ePaper but with this level of price I doubt it will become mainstream soon.
Recently I started to follow a celebrity for the first time : Lance Armstrong (@lancearmstrong). Before that I thought following a celebrity was something not so interesting but now I follow Armstrong, I might change my mind.
Just after Lance Armstrong, I started to follow Axel Merckx (@axelmerckx).
It really gives the feeling that you get very close to those people. I enjoy it, in fact.
Often I say that one of my dreams is to cross a continent (like America, Central Europe or around the Mediterranean sea) by bicycle for several months.
I like the Tour de France a lot. Every night I enjoy the resume on een : Tour2009.
The main question this year is of course "Armstrong or Contador ?"
One can think that this competition within a single team is very unhealthy.
I don't think so.
First, it's excellent for the team because it's excellent for the sponsors: Astana. Every day that question comes back again and again.
Second, it's an excellent strategy for winning. If the Astana team mates can bring the 2 leaders safely at the top of the race when the real battle can begin, than you can let Armstrong and Contador challenge each other and let the fastest win... Plus : if one of the two leaders has a big problem, chances of winning are not lost for the team.
Now I'm curious to see if what I predict will become true : will Armstrong and Contador have a big fight "à la pédale" in the mountain ? I hope so.
