This is the history of a son and his father. One day, the son told his father: "I would like to run a marathon, would you do it with me?", and he said yes. Later, the son asked his father again for a marathon and they run it together. Finally, the son wanted to run an Ironman thriatlon and his father said yes! I just want to remind you that an Ironman consist in a race composed by 2.4 miles swimming, 180Km biking and a marathon running!! It is one of the most beautiful things that I ever seen in internet, just be prepared to cry!
What else...?

New fashion web site on line, blonda. Here a little video of what you can buy!
A great and spectacular video by the crazy Dan Osman has always been the top climbing video in youtube. In it, Dan climbs 100m without rope in less than 4min30sec minutes. Spectacular but it is just a 5.7!! In european rate it is a 4+, what means that even me can climb that wall without rope! One thing it's true, it will take me an hour. Here there's the video:
On the other hand, there's the last Huber's brother record in el capitan (yosemite). They set the world speed climbing record of the Nose in 2h45min45sec. The Nose is a multi-pitch route with a some difficult pitches, the hardest, a 13.a (8a in european). As they explained the easy pitches were climbed without rope and only the hardest ones were belayed. The goal, be the fastest! Am Limit is the film which shows the best moments of this experience. Here's the trailer:
Besides the fact that Dan Osman was incredible, by its difficulty and velocity, Huber's exploit is the best that we can find in the net. Enjoy the videos!
The current expensive consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, Wii and others could be simply replace by OnLive. OnLive is a new video games on demand service that may just change the way you play PC games. Actually, it is like the films that you watch in the net by streaming but for video games. You will have an account to OnLive that will allow your access to their server. From the server you will be able to play to any game stored. No more consoles at home, no more CD's games and, thanks god, no more old nintendo's cartridges!!! All replaced by a little device of 10$ and a monthly subscribtion fee (10$). There are no downloads, it's streaming gaming. OnLive promises to stream games live, over the Internet, with no lag. Let me say that again: No lag. How are they able to assure that level of flux data without lag? The inventor, Steve Perlman, (the guy who created WebTV and sold it for a cool $500 million to Microsoft) assure that they have developped, through 7 years, a system of data compression that makes this technology possible!
If true, OnLive could be the holy grail of gaming. It lets publishers give the finger to GameStop and other retailers, and distribute their games directly to consumers. It would eliminate piracy. And it makes the console war a moot point.
