I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests’ time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.

Experiment: Living Without Cell Phone
I am a fan of shiny gadgets. Actually, I like everything shiny except lip gloss. Recently, after more than a year with an Apple iPhone 3G I decided it were time to upgrade my phone.
Then the difficulty of life started: what upgrade to get? How will I be able to top the experience of the iPhone? There certainly can not be a better smartphone, user experience. Do I really want an iPhone 3GS? Actually I do want to wait for the NEXT iPhone, without then having to break the bank to get that model.
I started thinking and realised that 98% of my communication is done online. I am reachable by almost any online protocol, whether email, IM, Skype or Google Wave. My decision was helped by the fact that I had already sold my iPhone before even having shortlisted other models.
Here I am now, in my second day without mobile phone. Will I survive it? Read the complete journal here or follow the last 10 updates in the sidebar, complete with spontaneous status updates related to living without phone, a life without mobile phone in 2009.

Usain Bolt flies… on the track
For those who have missed it because they were drinking out while waiting for a Top Gear replay, Usain Bolt once more broke the 100m World Record: 9″58. Looking at his last 15m I would say that there’s room for improvement and he can go faster than 9″5. Can the human body though?
Here’s the video in HD (until Youtube or RAI pull the content).
Watch Usain Bolt’s appearance on Top Gear after the jump.
Bored? Build a go-kart with a CBR 900 engine. Fast it will be!
And it might even be the fastest go-kart out there. Great for drifting it sure is and comes with a custom front skirt for maximal downforce.
Watch a video of this awesome go-kart in action over at TechEblog
In Sweden Swedish women can now hang out at the pool… with their breasts out
Probably this might be a cure for cancer. Or not. Who cares anyway?
This news just is too awesome to not mention:
…some on the council had lobbied for wording which would have required women to keep their nipples covered, but Forsberg explained that attempting to enforce such a rule would have been too complicated. “We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts,” he said.
I think we men got away cheaply there, imagine they would have told us to wear a bra! But yes, I entirely agree with the reasoning. I don’t have large breasts though.

Belgian bus driver to be fired for being a pr0n star
It could only happen in my country of birth obviously. Wackos a gogo over there, first the girl who fell asleep while getting tattooed, and now the case of Audrey.
24 Year old/young Audrey is a professional and popular bus driver but on the verge of being fired for being Miss Nude Belgium 2009.
I was hauled before the director of human resources and he asked me to choose between my erotic career and my new career on the buses.
… He said that I had to sign a form pledging that I wouldn’t do any more nude pictures
There are no reports of any weird tattoos on her face, but darn… I have to catch a bus now!
