You probably know that the summer solstice normally occurs on 21st June. But did you know that in 2008 the exact solstice will occur at 23:59 UT on 20th June?
In fact this is the first time since 1896 that it hasn't occurred on 20st June, and since 1975 it hasn't occurred on 21st June^[1].

So this will be the longest day, specially in north countries where it's difficult to find dark night ;-) A good occasion to run a nightly race, called St. Hansgaloppen for about 14,5 km in the nature; sounds great.

Some of you are perhaps fans of Radiohead. And perhaps have you heard the last album In Rainbows^[1]. Some time ago they launched a remix contest of Nude song, a song from this album. According to one participant, the task wasn't so easy:

This was quite a difficult task for all the electronic musicians that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's near impossible to mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.

But the result from this latter is really impressive and original. Just enjoy it here.

J'ai découvert le site access-key offrant notamment quelques vidéos présentant dans chacune d'elle une situation problématique rencontrée par une personne handicapée visuelle, suivi d'une explication des solutions possibles.

Cela rappelle l'importance du respect des règles du W3C, mais aussi l'importance de penser aux bonnes pratiques de codage pour qu'un site internet soit accessible au plus grand nombre; à mettre entre toutes les mains de développeurs web à mon avis.
