Disgusting game from Chivas last Tuesday. We lost 2-1 in Trinidad, the team thought that just by being present they’d win. Let’s see how they play in the return leg at Jalisco stadium.
The winner of the CCC will qualify to the World Club Cup in Japan in December, so that’s why it’s important that they win the tournament.
Leffe Blonde is another of the Leffeabbey beer family. With a clear colour and a full flavour, it is surprisingly easy on the palate. For clear Belgian beers, it is one of my favourites.
A clear pilsner beer, Maes has a light taste with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is one of the most popular beers in Belgium after Jupiler. Another every day and everyman’s beer, but actually I preferred Jupiler because it feels a little bit lighter.
An interesting Trappist beer with a medium creamy dark chocolate flavour and a mild bouquet. Surprisingly mild given its 7% alcohol content. One of my instant favourites with a good meat.
A clear pilsner beer with a simple flavour and an unremarkable bouquet. An easy “everyday & everyman’s” beer. Nothing to truly write home about, even though, according to Wikipedia, it’s the most popular beer in Belgium. Sponsor of the Belgian football league.
Chivas won at the Estadio Azul 2-1, in a game where all our goals came from free kick plays. According to mediotiempo.com, the game was not great, but was well played, and our new goalkeeper Luis Michel made some very important saves, stepping up to Oswaldo Sánchez’s shoes.
3GSM, the largest mobile industry gathering, is taking place in Barcelona this week. I just read in the news that beside the usual product launches from device manufacturers, Nokia and YouTube have announced a deal in which YouTube’s videos will be available for Nokia Nseries users. Being a heavy user of both a Nokia N93 and YouTube, I am really waiting for this.
For more news on 3GSM, you can check out the coverage from the FT, the Guardian, or The Register.
I couldn’t help but notice in Babel the usage of 3G mobiles by deaf people: using video call to transmit sign language. I was very surprised to discover that this usage is not exclusive of Japan, as in Sweden the municipality of Örebrö gives customer service to its large population of deaf people using sign language (link in Swedish). That’s the kind of uses of technology I like: simple and relevant.
