Chivas tied with Cruz Azul at their stadium in Mexico City, but went through to the semifinals of the Apertura 2006 tournament thanks to their previous victory of 2-0 at the Jalisco stadium in the first leg. The video highlights below:
Now Chivas will play América in the semifinals on Thursday night (early Friday CET)… the Superclásico is served. In the other semifinal, Pachuca will play Toluca.
¡Vamos Chivas!

Oli aika kuuma kesä tää
nyt on jo vähän viileempää
Tulee paljon omenaa
kohta mehua taas saa
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Vielä lienee lammet paikoillaan
täytyis vissiin lähtä katsomaan
Yhden vanhan virvelin
aamulla mä putsasin
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Eräs leikki traktoreillaan
se tykkää niistä aina vaan
Minä laulujani teen
putoo riimit paikoilleen
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Keväällä jälleen lähdetään
tämä Suomi kiertämään
Ehkä mennään Turkkuseen
kaadetaan viinaa kurkkuseen
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Mä tykkään tästä juuri näin
soitella kanssa ystäväin
San Francisco kuuskytyhdeksän
äkkiä kaiken ymmärrän
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Pilvet on kuin laivoja
ne taivaanrannassa odottaa
Kerran kotiin minut vie
tämä röpelöinen tie
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Lasissa viini vähenee
vaikka pyydän: älä mee
No vielä toiset ostetaan
suulle malja nostetaan
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
No vielä toiset ostetaan
suulle malja nostetaan
on kaikki niinkuin ennenkin
Kaikille suomalaisille ystäville.

Funnily enough, after writing an entry about Second life yesterday, I found an article about it in today’s issue of the FT. I don’t think Alan Cane quite “gets it” with his metaphor that Second Life is just a more advanced way of current icon-based interfases, it seems to me over-simplistic. The most interesting thing about it in my opinion is that when you’re interacting in an environment that looks closer to the real world, you will react in ways that are closer to the real world, and create social bonds that are closer to those of the real world. I may be wrong of course.
I’m usually a technology advocate, but this is stupid. I saw in a restaurant a plasma screen with video of a fireplace instead of a real fireplace. Is there any point?
Chivas seemed unstoppable last night, beating Cruz Azul at home at the Jalisco Stadium by 2-0. Bofo Bautista played a remarkable game, scoring one goal and setting up the other. I’ll post a video as soon as it is online.
Update: The videos of the goals are online. The first video is here. The second is below.
Both are absolutely excellent. I hope my Chivas keep on playing as well.
listening to “La Bamba” being played and sung in Spanish by a guy with a marked Arab accent in the Brussels Metro…
Priceless!
I saw this list at Genki David’s blog. Much better than the list I had originally published.
And I haven’t been here that long…
Saw a post at Jedifreac’s blog about Star Wars in different languages. Hilarious!
Second Life is a 3D virtual world. Just tried it and was absolutely amazed by its functionality (including a virtual economy), customisability, and the whole “feel” of it. We hear at the CWF about how are residents using this world to do things that they wouldn’t be otherwise able to, even at work. I’ve tried not to use it too much because it is quite addictive.
Talking with a friend of mine about it he came to the conclusion that the danger of it (exposed in many cyberpunk novels before) is that people would use these kind of virtual worlds to escape reality. Whereas I’m sure that some will do exactly that, I believe most people will learn to live with it, as it is a tool to engage imagination and create something new, which in the physical world may not exist.
Could anybody with more experience on it share their insight?
