Popular!


I will be popular. That is the starting line of my favoutite song's chorus. The song entitled 'Popular' is sung by Eric Saade. I thought this song will win the Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf, Germany but he only managed to be the second runner up. Not bad because the result he got is the Sweden's best result since 1999.

 His reaction after the grand final was:
"We're insanely happy to have been the ones to take Sweden back to the top of this contest! This will bring Sweden's artist next year a great momentum." Backing singer Joel Börjesson: "This was amazing, incredibly exciting voting. This was Sweden's best position in twelve years!"

 Here is his performance during the national selection in Sweden (Melodifestivalen 2011). The performance, I think, is better than his performance in the grand final of ESC 2011. Enjoy the video!

Tribute to Steve Jobs: Best Apple Creations | Remembering the American icon of our technological generation

Image
By following his heart and intuition, Steve Jobs lived a life he'd proudly call his own, and created a legacy for all of us to look upon, with Apple. Even after owning a MacBook (1st generation), an iPod, and now the iPhone 4, I am still not the biggest fan of Steve Jobs, or Apple products for that matter. But you got to give it to him for creating what we would call a technological revolution of our time. Like how he liked to quote Wayne Gretzky,"you don't skate to where the puck is, you skate to where it's going to be." Jobs foresaw something that none of us did, and with relentless intensity and creativity, he created one product after another, that many of us cannot live without. “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.” Today, we remember Steve Jobs for not how he passed, but how he lived, and changed almost all our lives.
