1. There are four distinct seasons: Summer, Not Quite Summer, Almost Summer, and oh, Hey look its summer again.
2. Your high school had a surf team.
3. Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're surprised when other areas don't have this.
4. You see weather forecasts for four different climate zones in the same county, and aren't remotely surprised.
5. You know that "charge!" doesn't refer to a credit card.
6. You understand what May-gray and June-gloom means.
7. A famous skateboarder/surfer lives in your town.
8. You've stayed home from school or work, because "It's Raining!"
9. You've gone to sea world on a warm day and sat in the first few rows at the Shamu show to get cooled off.
10. No matter what the weather is, there is always someone walking around in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops.
11. You've been to the desert, the mountains, and the beach all in one day.
12. You've gone to the Zoo just to hang out.
13. You know someone who doesn't own pants.
14. You know what the 'Santa Anas' are, and that they have nothing to do with the city of Santa Ana.
15. You know what 'real Mexican food' tastes like.

Pour les geeks comme moi (hihi), je recommende un Blog que Thomas Landspurg (Webwag) m'a fait decouvrir. Il s'agit d'un blog connu en France, celui de Olivier Ezratty. C'est tres interessant, tres riche et tres documente. Vraiment chapeau a Mr Ezratty.
En fait, quand Thomas m'a dit son nom, je me suis empresse de l'oublier... la discussion tournait autour du rapport de Mr Ezratty sur sa visite au CES cette annee. Donc le rapport m'interessait et plus tard je le google. Je tombe sur un lien: http://www.lulu.com/content/2022116 et stupeur, je vois qu'il coute $74. L'avantage c'est que je retrouve aussi le nom d'Olvier et je cherche son blog que je trouve rapidement. Je trouve aussi son rapport et il explique pourquoi il est ... GRATUIT (http://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/2008/rapport-ces-2008/). Je suis franchement scandalise de voir que ce site, LULU.COM se permette de voler literalement $74 aux internautes et sans doute de ne rien reverser a Mr Ezratty.
Du coup, je l'ai signale a l'auteur... mais au dela, que faire? Envoyer un mail a lulu.com qui va gentiment ignorer la plainte? leur faire un proces?

Well... voice calls, ok we know. But also download funny ring tones, applications, games, etc.
Expensive? Well, not always. Like for PC a bunch of content is now available for free. You have to be a bit techy and be ready to learn a few things but indeed, there is a lot for free out there. If you're interested, I can share a lot on this blog.
For now, if you want free interesting applications, just go there: www.getjar.com

Evenings are getting longer and I love this one as it's a perfect illustration of the a long summer end of day. Actually composed by a French composer, Napoleon Coste. Its title is: Les soirees d'Auteuil (evenings in Auteuil). For those of you who don't know, Auteuil is a place in Paris where there is a famous horse race tracks, Roland Garros (tennis courts where they host the French grand slam) and the Bois de Boulogne, a park with two lakes. So imagine yourself back in the 19th century, probably a charming tete-a-tete with a lovely lady...
