My giant MS Windows bluescreen photo in Times Square lives on

7 May

Back in November of 2004, I was walking down the streets of Manhattan when I saw the biggest blue screen I had ever seen in Times Square, so I recorded the moment with a blog post and a photo on my old InfoWorld blog. Back when I was at InfoWorld, this blog post would show up pretty high in the page view reports on a regular basis — it had serious staying power.

Now it has re-appeared in this “Top 12 blue screens” post, in Portuguese no less. I’m in 3rd place all-time, with this comment:

Um belo Bluescreen em 3 planos diferentes!!

Babel Fish tells me that this means something along the lines of “a Bluescreen beauty in 3 different plans!!”

This is the kind of recognition I crave.

Update: My friend Jon Williams sets the translation straight in the comments: My Brazilian Ops Director translated, its “A nice Bluescreen with 3 different angles”
