Y’en a marre de février

Parce que ya ben un boutte à toutte, et aussi pour vous faire patienter en attendant mon post sur la luzerne, je vous suggère d’aller prendre unpeu de soleil du coté de chez mon amie Meb, lbdl, qui fait une collection ‘Best of des choses pas trop gossantes qui mettent du pep dans février‘. Elle en est déjà à son part III.

Minuit sonne, mon ipod se change en citrouille

Depuis quelques semaines, disons plus de 3, il y a un engin non identifié qui beep à minuit pile chez moi.

Les premiers soirs, je me demandais vraiment ce que ca pouvait bien être, mais juste le temps de me déplacer pour essayer de voir d’où venait le son et c’était déjà terminé. Ensuite, ben j’oubliais, jusqu’au soir suivant.

Ce soir, minuit pile. Et vlan, ca sonne.

Haha! que je me dis, fière d’avoir enfin démasqué l’objet de mon questionnement.

Ben voilà, c’était mon ipod.

Réflexion.

Et pis finalement, vous savez quoi?

Bien après 30 secondes de réflexion, j’ai décidé de le laisser sonner tout les soirs, et ce tant qu’il le voudra, même si ça me réveille. Je m’aperçois que c’est un des rare moments de la journée ou j’arrête et prend le temps de réaliser qu’une journée vient de se terminer, s’écouler, et qu’une nouvelle commence. Aussi simple que ça, mais ca me rappelle que je suis bien en vie et que la terre tourne.

Cé ben maudit cé ipod là… Je vous l’avais dit que ca changeais une vie…

À venir demain : comment je compte sur la luzerne pour optimiser ma vie.

Podcasting does the NYT

A good coverage after all, just watch the wave and hype get even stronger now:

(…) Their show, mostly ad-libbed, is a podcast, a kind of recording that, thanks to a technology barely six months old, anyone can make on a computer and then post to a Web site, where it can be downloaded to an iPod or any MP3 player to be played at the listener’s leisure.

ok ok. good. but mp3 readable devices – not only ipod please.

And as bloggers have influenced journalism, podcasters have the potential to transform radio.

a revolution into another one.

Already many radio stations, including National Public Radio and Air America, the liberal-oriented radio network, have put shows into a podcast format. And companies are seeing the possibilities for advertising; Heineken, for example, has produced a music podcast. (…) Still, most podcasts are made by people like the two Brads, who record from basements, bedrooms or bathrooms, and devote their shows to personal passions. (…) There are music podcasts – cover songs, punk and “The Worst Music You’ve Ever Heard.” There are many religious podcasts, nicknamed Godcasts. Then there is “Five Hundy by Midnight,” a Midwest gambler’s musings on Las Vegas. There are podcasts on sports and on bicycling, on agriculture and on politics. There are poetry podcasts and technology podcasts.

Things are getting worse here :

People who study consumer behavior say the rapid growth of podcasts reflects people’s desire for a personalized experience, whether creating a stuffed animal at a Build-a-Bear store or creating playlists for their iPods. “It’s about control,” said Robbie Blinkoff, an anthropologist at Context-Based Research, a consulting firm in Baltimore that has done several studies on how technology changes human behavior. “Making something of their own, feeling like they’ve put it together, there’s lots of self-confidence in that,” Mr. Blinkoff said.

HeeeeHAHAHAHAHA!
yeah, that is why i started this blog first of all: i’d never been good at doing stuffed animal AND i am a control freak. LOL -

Larger than life.

There are some people i wish i could have met,
some genius who already passed out that i will never get to meet -
so it is about Tibor Kalman.

Something tell me that i could have learn much from a men like him.
I would have probably been so impress by his energy and presence that it would have filled up my head and my heart enough to last a full year.
Some people are just like that: being around them give you incredible drive, motivation, inspires you and give you the strength to move mountains.

So it was about Tibor.

Here was this. Tibor. Six foot two. Larger than life. Mountain mover. Fearless guy. Policitcal. Romantic. Hilarious. The works. Interested in EVERYTHING. From how snack foods are invented, to why people hate. Drove himself relentlessly. Drove people nuts. Royal pain in the ass. He simply wanted to, believed he could – change the world. No more or less. by M. Kalman.
