Música - Soko
A moda de meninas cantando parece ficar cada dia mais forte. Stéphanie Sokolinski, Soko, é mais uma descoberta vinda do MySpace. Bacana a voz doce da moça, o seu sotaque francês e as suas desafinadas.
Update: meu amigo Enzo, trendsetter assumido, disse que a Soko é mais velha que a Dercy Gonçalves. Inclusive disse que a música I'll Kill Her embalou o bolo vivo do seu aniversário de 15 anos.

Get to vs. Have to - Seth Godin
How much of your day is spent doing things you have to do (as opposed to the things you get to do.)
In my experience, as people become successful and happier (the subset that are both) I find that the percentage shifts. These folks end up spending more and more time on the get to tasks.
You'd think that this happens because their success permits them to skip or delegate the have to tasks. And to some extent, this is true. But far more than that, these people redefine what they do all day. They view the tasks as opportunities instead of drudge work.
A simple redefinition transformed the quality of their day, and more important, the perception of their work.

O Ministério da Saúde adverte!
Agora, na Grã-Bretanha, também é obrigatório que os fabricantes de cigarro coloquem em suas caixas fotos de pessoas que tiveram as suas vidas devastadas pelo câncer e outros malefícios causados pelo cigarro. Baseado nisso, o Complex Blog publicou uma matéria dizendo que de nada adianta chocar as pessoas. O cigarro é consumido por motivos nobres. Com vocês, a divertida lista dos 7 motivos pelos quais as pessoas fumam.
#7: SMOKING MAKES YOU COOL
Badasses smoke. Gangsters smoke. Pussies don’t. Unfortunately, that’s life. Throwing caution to the wind kind of goes directly in contrast with knowing facts and being aware of one’s surroundings. There are a lot of douchebags who smoke, but guess who their heroes are? You’re going to have to get rid of soldiers, rock and rollers, and hit-men if you want cool smokers taken out of popular culture.
#6: SMOKING HELPS YOU MEET CHICKS
If you’ve ever been to a bar or a club or one of the “no smoking in public places” states, you know that there are always people outside having a cig. It’s a break from all those drinks and the loud music inside. “Oh hey, there’s a hot girl. Oh. She’s going outside to smoke. Maybe I can introduce myself to her while we have a cigarette and then I can grind up on her in the club.” Bang-bang!
#5: SMOKING KEEPS YOU FROM GETTING FAT
You know those people who say, “I’ve gotten a little chubby since I stopped smoking”? Maybe we’re mixing them up with our friends who “used to do a lot of coke,” but cigarettes do actually cut down on your appetite. Just like sucking on the tailpipe of a Camaro or taking a bong hit of fiberglass, all those thousands of chemicals make you feel full, so if you’re a model or want to be one, at least you have a defense when a Truth spokesman spits in your face.
#4: SMOKE BREAKS ARE AWESOME
Say you work a 9 to 5. That’s an eight hour day. Your average smoker takes two breaks at about fifteen minutes each, which is a half hour of not working per day, 2 and a half hours per week. Which is awesome. People don’t like working, and cigarettes are a great way to not work. The math on this one is complete.
#3: SMOKING HELPS YOU PREPARE FOR THE CHINESE TAKEOVER
Remember all those weird sports that were on TV this summer? That, my friends, was the dawn of a new era. Those billions of people are going to take over the world, and guess what their two favorite things are, besides laughing their way to the bank with your money? Pollution and cigarettes. Smokers are going to fit in better and they already got that cough down for when the economic apocalypse hits level 8.
#2: GIRLS WITH SMOKER’S VOICE ARE SEXY
Ladies that reek of smoke suck, but there is something about that raspy, “I’ve been up all night and all day and all night again” voice that really gets us going and makes us kind of hope in a halfway twisted way that some of those ladies keep going at it. A whole CD of Tom Waits cover songs sucks, but without the smoker’s voice it’s unbearable.
#1: CUTTING OFF YEARS OF YOUR LIFE IS A GOOD THING
They say smoking takes years off of your life, but what years? Who wants to live to be 100 anyway? Let death come and kick down the door when you’re 70, nooo problem. Then you can go first and not have to deal with going to all of your friends’ funerals.

Acelera, Palmeiras!
Confirmado! A Ferrari será a nova patrocinadora do verdão. Mas calma, antes que algum torcedor desavisado ache que o verdão entrará para o rol dos times mais ricos do planeta, explico: isso faz parte de uma estratégia de marketing do clube para o apoiar a escuderia italiana durante o GP de Interlagos.
Depois volta tudo ao normal. Sai a Ferrari e entra a Fiat (dona do cavalinho) novamente.
A criação das camisas é da agência de publicidade Famiglia de São Paulo.
