We discovered by chance some weekends ago, the truth is that the restaurant pleasantly surprised us both value for money, as the price itself.

They have carte (including weekends) and the menu has a fixed price of 12 € + VAT including two courses, dessert and drinks. The cuisine is a mixture of Italian and traditional. You can find pasta, risottos, fideuá … all very Mediterranean. The restaurant is a rustic style that highlight the stone walls and white furniture, contrasting with the bricks of the walls.

It has two floors, the overlooking in the street level and a basement, the toilets are on the street floor, which together with the fact that there are no doorsteps make the place a local adapted for disabled guests.

Interesting data:

• Plaça Comercial, 11 (continuation of comerç street in front of the Mercat del Born)
• Metro: Sant Jaume L4
• Openning Hours: For the lunch from Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 16:00 hs. For the dinner from Monday to Thursday from 20:30 to 23:00 hs. And an uninterrupted schedule Saturday and Sunday until 24:00 pm.

The reason is that while most sites use the symbols or classical texts, there are some who strongly call for my attention, because of the design, the work or the curious or the occurrences.

I have not a database made of photographs so this section will grow as I collect these photos.

And I start with the icons of the Diversus Restaurant toilets in the Born district of Barcelona, which I wrote the other day: Diversus Restaurant, Born – Barcelona.

These are the signs which guide the customer to the correct place in that restaurant:

Ildefonso Cerdà designed a structured city, embodied in the structure of the Eixample district in Barcelona, 150 years ago. Now we are intended to participate and be present through our personal messages at Barcelona from within 150 years, Barcelona 2159.

These weeks we are going to write or create (who wish it) a message and our messages will be encapsulated. Within 150 years, “someone” will open the capsule and will find our thoughts on a world that we can hardly imagine, but we try.

And we can leave our messages as we prefer: text, image or video. I’ve already done mine and you can see what I’ve left for the future following this link (spanish and catalan):

http://www.barcelona2159.org/index.php?id=2439

The translation would be something like:

What will the streets of Barcelona be in 150 years?
Streets clean and tidy, with no congestion or noise, with sufficient moral climate to avoid having to fill them with warnings: do not litter, do not block, do not park here, do not run and do not bother others …
Streets perfectly adapted to the needs of all, no bumps or obstacles, with toilet, seats and where prevails nature and citizens’ services.

The text is limited to 800 characters so the hardest exercise has been synthesis. There is a lot of matterns to create about, but the organization of this activity facilitated a little bit this task by proposing us to focus on any of the 45 tracks that define the city.

Want to be in the future? Wait no more and join this proposal, leave your message and the people on the future will know what you expected in Barcelona2159.org

These jokes are short, question and answer, based on word games or in occurrences. Some of them lose all their sense when translating into Spanish.

I’m going to start a compilation of this jokes, perhaps in 3 or 4 years I could edit the book of the image.

Here is the first list:

• ¿Did you hear about the two silkworms that had a race? It ended up in a tie.
• How many Microsoft employees does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None. We’ll just declare darkness the new standard.
• What farm animal is a cannibal? A Cow, it eats it’s fodder!
• What do you call a rabbit with fleas? Bugs Bunny.
• What do you call a day that follows two days of rain? Monday.
• Why are Bankers good bike riders?? They are good at keeping their balance!
• Why don’t fish play tennis? They might get caught in the net.

Do you have some spam like the examples? Will you help me to expand the list? If you found in your spam any of these jokes, add it in the comments of this post along with the URL of your blog. If I consider it funny and appropriate, I will add to the previous list with the link for the “contributor”.

Note: I reserve the right to publish or not any joke and / or link to any kind of blog for reasons we can all imagine …

Thanks

Google does this, as usual, in the form of custom logos with different characters. From 6 days ago they are showing us those logos and I don’t know for how many more will, but it lacks some essential characters, don’t you think?.

I keept thos logos and in this post I show you the collection (if Google ads any more I will add it here).

In the other hand, I found a directory of Google where they have collected some of the logos that have used sorted by months and years. You can access through: Google Logos.

You can see fully working on Phylosoft, is the bar that appears at the bottom.

The bar is available in 20 languages and their features are: search site and Google search, translated into 10 languages, direct access to the most recent entries, access to a random post, Flickr photos (from an album defined by the user), subscribing to the RSS Feed, Share in 11 social media, Fan Page on Facebook, Twitter account access and notifications (appear when the page loads in the lower right corner).

For now, I left without adding another 2 functionalities: building community on Facebook (through Facebook Connect) and Games.

How to configure / install? I was surprised how easy it was, everything is done from the web Wibiya. Invitation is required to access and can be ordered on the same site, since the requested it took a couple of hours to arrive.

After signing with the invitation, I only need to choose color, functionality and provide users of social networks and four different data on the web in which you want to install the toolbar. That done, ask how you want to download the code, whether in the form of plugin for Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad or the script that builds it.

Following the steps according to the CMS of your website, you have it working.

In addition, the web Wibiya give you different tools to interact with users through the bar and statistics using it. You can: send notifications to all your readers, or create community on Facebook and see the usage statistics of each of the chosen roles.

Moreover, and if you play with the bar, you see the whole operation is very fast and continuous movement and about how they are different options. I think the bar runs with a script from wibiya servers so it should not overburden themselves (which could be cause for removal).

Well, who installs it? and by the way, join in Phylosoft Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.

So it is no wonder that Marco, which more than 30 years after beginning his search, with no result so far, tries now this method: Google, don’t you think?

It arrives me by email some days ago.
