E não tem jeito. Pra quem gosto e para quem não gosta, amanhã começa a Copa do Mundo 2010.

Depois de meses de estádios ficando pronto, vuvuzelas pra cá, vuvuzelas pra lá, notícias sobre a África do Sul, especulações de quem ia e quem não ia para Copa do Mundo, Dunga errou, Dunga acertou, a bola vai rolar e o povo vai vesti verde-amerelo para torcer pelo Brasil.

Abertura da Copa do Mundo

Na sexta, as 10h, horário que qualquer ser mortal, mancebo, trabalhador estará no batente, começará farra todo lá na África do Sul. A abertura da Copa do Mundo 2010 promete ser a mais bonita e bem produzida festa dos últimos tempos, com direito de shows de Shakira, Black Eyed Peas e vários ex-jogadores que fizeram história em outras Copas.

Programação – Sexta-Feira

10h Abertura da Copa do Mundo

11h África do Sul x México

15h30 Uruguai x França

E ta ai, todo mundo em clima de Copa do Mundo, afinal faltam 9 dias para a bola rolar na África do Sul. O que nos faz perceber uma coisa: Brasileiro só é patriota em dois momentos: na Copa do Mundo e no desfile de 7 de setembro.

Pode ver, as ruas já estão pintadas, os carros já andam com bandeirinhas do Brasil e as lojas de R$ 1,99 faturam vendendo cornetas irritantes, apitos e chapéus verde-amarelos.

Aqui em Curitiba, os holofotes do Calçadão da Rua XV também foram caracterizados com as cores do Brasil. E todo mundo já está travestido de torcedor, mesmo aqueles que não sabem o que é impedimento, onde fica a Sérvia ou quem é Grafite.

Respiraremos futebol, saberemos o prato preferido do Josué, a música que faz sucesso em Johanesburgo e aturaremos as crônicas do Bial que são piores que os anúncios de eliminados do BBB.

Ouviremos o Galvão criar mais bordões do tipo Haja Coração e musiquinhas estilo a do Sílvio Santos. Saberemos quem é o goleador da seleção da Coreia do Norte, se é que a Coreia do Norte tem algum goleador.

Veremos os jornalistas exaltarem coisas que não têm nenhum sentido, como o duelo entre EUA X Inglaterra e Brasil x Portugal serem a disputa entre ex-colônia x metrópole.

E por causa da Copa esqueceremos de todo o resto. Será um mês de total alienação a qualquer tipo de problema que cause qualquer tipo de conseqüência de esfera municipal, estadual, nacional ou universal.

Eu, por exemplo, já estou com minha tabela impressa, álbum completo e todos horários dos jogos anotados para ver a bola rolando. Afinal, é o maior evento esportivo do planeta e só acontece de quatro em quatro anos, o resto pode muito bem ficar para depois.

E pra quem tá de olho na Copa do Mundo 2010 hoje tem amistoso! Confira

Amistoso Brasil x Zimbábue

A prova que ninguém está preocupado com Privacidade é a forma que o povo abraçou o Foursquare, Rede Social baseada em Geotagging que mostra para todo mundo onde você esteve.

A ideia é genial, ver onde seus amigos estão, quais lugares eles frequentam e recomendam, receber insígneas (badges) como recompensa a ir a vários lugares e ainda poder ser o “Mayor”, traduzindo ao pé da letra, o prefeito de um lugar que você vai com frequência.

Se você usa o Foursquare e quer descobrir quais são todas as badges que você pode ganhar, veja a lista abaixo.

Pra alegria de alguns e a desgraça de muitos, soltamos o freio de mão e voltamos a ativa no bom e velho Salve a Rainha. Mudamos de cara há alguns dias e agora vou explicar algumas coisas que muita gente andou perguntando por ai:

Desistiu do Blog?

Não. Apenas estava sem tempo para me dedicar a ele. Entre a vida profissional, pessoal, afetiva, amorosa e outros blogs que mantenho, coloquei o Salve a Rainha no fim da lista de prioridades. Porém, me deu saudades dele, afinal foi com ele que aprendi, conheci e consegui muita coisas nos últimos tempos.

Mudou o layout? Que coisa feia! Preferia o outro.

Paciência, amigo! Esse layout é mais limpo, mais leve, carrega menos a página e é bem mais organizado. Estou ainda estudando como recolocar a logo no head, porém a base nova será essa. Bem clean.

E o conteúdo?

O conteúdo continua o mesmo. Quem me conhece sabe exatamente que preso mais pelo conteúdo do que pela forma. De que adianta ser bonitinho se ordinário?

Você vai transformar seu blog num caça-paraquedistas?

Não nobre amigo. Minha carabina está apontada para outra coisa. Claro que se São Google trouxer leitores para cá não vou ficar nenhum um pouco chateado, porém, a pauta aqui (pauta na mão) continuará sendo textos bizarros, polêmicos, um pouquinho de cinema, um pouquinho de fórmula 1 e um pouquinho de tudo que couber.

Reis e rainhas peçam clemência! O peão está novamente a solta.

Salve Rainha, mãe misericordiosa, vida, doçura e esperança nossa, salve! Mas podemos parar por aqui. Pois se você estava procurando a Oração Salve Rainha, pode tirar o seu terço da chuva. Não tem nada disso aqui.

Segundo o Google Analytics e a ferramenta do Google Webmasters, um quarto dos visitantes diários desse site estão procurando a Oração Salve Rainha.

De bento, abençoado e iluminado, esse blog não tem nada. Porém, nunca, em quase dois anos de existência, justifiquei de onde veio a ideia de dar ao nome desse blog de Salve a Rainha. Então, explico:

Acho que não preciso falar para ninguém que sou um cinéfilo inveterado, amante da sétima arte e rato de locadora. Quando ainda cursava Publicidade e Propaganda, minha professora de Língua Portuguesa passou um filme do Mel Brooks chamado História do Mundo Parte I.

Sátira de vários momentos da História do mundo, o capitulo sobre a Revolução Francesa foi o que me o Insight. O rei da França joga uma espécie de Xadrez humano. Assista o vídeo abaixo, a partir do minuto 1:00 e confira com seus próprios olhos porque até um peão pode comer a Rainha.

Agora que tudo ficou mais claro e todos perceberam que não tem nada a ver com a Oração Salve Rainha, voltemos a nossa programação normal.

Como um bom nerd, sou usuário do Orkut antes de ele virar modinha. Isso mesmo, tenho perfil lá há muito tempo, muito mesmo. Minha Internet ainda era discada, as pessoas tinham que receber convite, o site era em Inglês e se você postasse demais “era preso”. Tive vários fakes, participei da No Escuro, discuti cinema na comunidade da sala de cinema do chat da Uol, arrumei várias brigas com várias pessoas, fiz amigos e inimigos.

Porém, a graça acabou quando spammers começaram a invadir a bagaça. Festas universitárias, CDs com aulas de Webdesign, putaria, miguxos, vileiros, bonequinhos que piscam, boddy pockets e o escambau transformaram o Orkut na ilha da inclusão digital.

Não era para ser assim. Foi o Orkut que fez o boom das redes sociais no Brasil acontecer. O espaço que segementava o nicho do usuário automaticamente era para sem muito melhor explorado. Acho que foi por isso que o Deus Google e o povo do Orkut resolveu lançar o “novo Orkut“. Só que em vez de mudar a carinha da home e ponto, dá a impressão que eles querem ressetar, começar a parada do zero, voltar como era antes.

Agora, além de ficar mais bonitinho e abandonar aquela cara feia e horrível de antigamente, o Orkut voltará a ser via indicação de convites. Ou seja, só entra no novo orkut quem foi convidado. Será que isso reduzirá os manos da inclusão? Aqueles que figuram o Pérolas do Orkut ou o Perfil de Gente que se Acha toda a semana? Será que isso alavancará novamente a ferramenta fazendo com que todo mundo saia louco e ensandecido atrás de convites do novo orkut? Aumentará o interesse dos usuários antigos a movimentarem o site?

Talvez. Talvez dessavez sobre rosquinhas pra galera e o Orkut volte a ser aquele fórum gigante onde achavamos informações interessantes. E não “beija ou passa”, spans de festa universitária e encoxadas de Buddy Pokets.
