Oscar the Grouch | Sesame Street

Inline with the 40th Anniversary of the children tv show Sesame Street here comes another Google doodle. It's Oscar the grouch, the Muppet that lives inside the garbage can. In the previous days, Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Bert & Ernie were featured as Google doodle. I'm guessing tomorrow will be Elmo. This must be a series of Google doodle featuring the Sesame Street gang.

Some facts about Oscar the grouch, he loves trash and the proof to this is the song "I love trash" that he always sings. From Wikipedia,

Oscar is named after Oscar Brand, a musician and one of the early board members of the Children's Television Workshop during Sesame Street's development in the late 1960s.

Again, Happy 40th Anniversary to Sesame Street

Bert & Ernie | Sesame Street

Yesterday, Google featured Cookie Monster doodle which really makes me happy. With that post, it reminds of the room mates from the Sesame Street gang which are Bert & Ernie. The fellow are also fun to watch but I don't really like the two,  I'm sorry to kids or say adult like me who used to watch Sesame Street.

Do you also notice Bert & Ernie's color yellow and orange? What can you say or think of? Actually, the two implies Banana and Orange ;). What really annoys me when I watched them before is that they look likes gay to me. Again, sorry to those who likes the two.

I'm not posting here to make fun of the two. One more thing, in Philippines we have a rap-artist named Andrew E. which I think looks like Ernie, the one holding a rubber duck from the photo. Incidentally, Andrew E. has a song Rubber Dickie. Now, it makes me wonder, does E from Andrew E. means Ernie? Btw, if you want to see Andrew rapping, you watch from this post. He's wearing green shirt here.

Fun fact: Do you know that in Cotabato City we have a street named Sesame Street? Well, Cotabato City is really a child friendly city that's why we have a street named after a children show. (Honestly, I don't really know the story behind). Maybe or just maybe, it has been a street where people likes to watch Sesame Street and loves Bert and Ernie. The street is located at De Mazenod Avenue just below the Iglesia ni Cristo church.

Why does Bert have to much eyebrows while Ernie doesn't even have any? Maybe next time I'll be posting about Oscar. Hmm

TGIF - TGIFI - meaning

Google has been a friend to me for years now. Searching anything that I want know or have. On November 1, Hakuna Matata posted an article about the new acronym JFGI or simply means Just F**king Google It. An answer to those who asks simple or stupid questions which can easily found over the Internet.

Today it's Friday, last day of work (for those people working Monday to Friday 8am-5pm) for this week means will be having a two days rest. Most of my friends and colleagues are saying TGIF which means Thank God it's Friday, very popular acronym who loves Friday. Earlier, someone from my Plurk posted TGIF then I posted my own definition, The Google Is Frightening hehe..we should not of course that's why I re-post The Google is Friendly. Indeed, Google has been really friendly to me.

Not much of a time to waste here. How bout, TGIFI - Thanks Google I Found It.. I don't know if someone have already defined this. These are just my thoughts today.

Cookie Monster | Google doodle

I'm so glad today Google featured my favorite Sesame Street character named Cookie Monster. This is in recognition to Sesame's its 40th anniversary. It reminds of my grade school days when I have to go home early just catch up the afternoon slot of Sesame Street. Though it was even re-scheduled in the morning.

Sesame Street song, "Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away!" now lingers in my head. I also enjoys dubbing his voice until now. "Cookie monster loves to eat to cookie". I also remember his song "I wish the moon is a cookie " or sort of, and he ended the song in dark place because he ate the moon. That's my childhood memories with Cookie Monster.

Good thing Google featured Cookie Monster today. By the way, in some region Big bird was featured by Google.

Rock on Cookie Monster. I hope next time Elmo will be featured too.

Windows 7 : Mac ad commercial

This afternoon I happened to visit one of my favorite site Mashable. What really held me from doing my work was the post Apple fires back at Windows 7 new ads. Very interesting ad. Of course as PC user with Windows XP installed, I would love to read reviews about Windows 7. A lot of Windows users have high expectations with Windows 7 particularly those who slam Windows Vista.

Here are some of the things that I don't want to experience from Windows 7.

• No more default browser (IE)
• No more blue screen of death (BSOD)
• No more lags
• No more driver required (My experience in adding networked/shared  printer in Vista was really embarassing as compare to XP, adding is just double clicking or right clicking then connect)
• No more broken promises please

I expect a better OS compares to Vista when I'll have my own Windows 7. I also remember from one of the blogpost I read, according to that post, Windows 7 will utilize well the dual-core to multi-core processors that's why I expect my PC to perform well with it.

Enjoy watching the ad commercial below. As for the ad commercial, I think Apple have gone to far with attacking Windows. It's not that I'm so into Windows, I'm actually a fan of Linux particulary Ubuntu but since in almost all places I'd go I see and work with Windows. I would love to see the Windows 7 latest ads why Apple released such ads. I'll be posting about it maybe tommorow.

Play Flash Games @ Y8.com

Looking for flash games? Try y8.com. Not really promoting the site but I just seen this by a grade school student playing at the Internet cafe owned by my neighbor. It brings out the child in me because it reminds me of the games I played during my grade school days.

In the peek of family computers, I usually play Super Mario, Street Fighter, Silver Surfer, Chip n Dale, Rockman, Bugs Bunny, Double Dragon and simple games such as Battle city, Bomberman, Rush n Attack, Arkanoid etc etc etc..Now with the power of PC's, there are already emulators or software plugins that play those classic games into your PC.

Sometimes I tend to forget to bring with me the flash drive where I put the game emulator I copied from a friend of mine. With the power of Google, I ended up playing at Y8.com where you can also play classic games and some latest games which were not in family computers.
