Mtl bike ride

short video collage of the best bike ride you can have in da town: along the train rail, crossing the city from east to west (d’Iberville ’till St-Laurent).

- Rain, thunder and my cell’s ring,
- moving cloud (if you watch carefully yes, it is moving)
- bike ride starts in the east, you can see the mont-royal at left
- bike ride continues, loud music in my ears
- incinérateur des carrières
- now west, strong winds uh-oh! best part of the bike path starts here
- near st-laurent and the MileEnd. End. Or a new point to start from.

Awaiting next podcast?

Remember when the Internet and e-mail took off in the middle 90s? Podcasting is kind of like that — and there’s a real opportunity to make some money. (…)

Think about it. The latest newscast automatically distributed and downloaded. Your morning news guy’s regular comment? Packaged up and sent directly to subscribers’ MP3 players. That afternoon sports talk show that you hate to miss? Catch it later when you have the time. Rush Limbaugh’s rant about the persecution of Tom DeLay? Cued up in your ‚ÄúRush Limbaugh‚Äù playlist.

Yeah, we all got it: stop waiting for the future to come, because we are sitting on it RIGHT NOW!

Read the whole thing here.

A quick look at my stats tonite clearly shows a special interest about Champion playing at Jazz fest. Check it out for youself: 90% of people visiting this blog today are there searching for some info relating to Champion at the Jazz Festival.

We wont be able to keep him only for ourselves really long. Seems like Europeans want him like crazy.

Pod mobile

Pod mobile

Martine’s new photo ipod with, hm, well, my podcast playing in it.

*

Mixing words such as ‘iPod’ and ‘Mobile’ brings me to write here about a sin i committed not later than yesterday. I say its a sin, because i always was against people doing what i did and always told people it was dangerous as hell. Ready?

I. drove. my. bike. with. my. ipod.

OMFG. What a totally exhilarating experience. Driving my bike is one of the nicest thing in the world. Listening to music being the other one.

Combining bike+ipod was like being on drugs without the side effects – i felt free as a bird. Combining speed and music is way too cool, can’t figure why i havnt done that before. Chicken me.

Monsieur Toutou se fait un grilled cheese

Monsieur Toutou se fait un grille cheeseYa des jours on se sent minable. Sauvagement déprimé. Comme le matin qu’on se rend compte que ca fait des lunes qu’on a pas écrit en français sur son blogue et qu’on se demande vraiment si sauvagement déprimé ca se dit.

C’est alors que Monsieur Toutou se pointe, comme une apparition sur msn. Je sais bien que Monsieur Toutou est en fait mon ami dan, mais ce matin j’aime mieu imaginer que c’est monsieur toutou qui me parle en se fesant un grilled cheese (sandwich chaud au fromage grillé sur la poêle – hein, et moi qui vous dit que c’est plus court les maudit anglicismes).

Je me demande si ca se peut des apparitions sur msn. Elvis, Marilyn, Gandhi – ché pas moi, quelqun de bien.
