Protoblogging
Ed introduce us (at least ME) to protoblogging: protoblogging — when you blog pre-written stuff that you would have blogged if you had had a blog back then.
If i had 2000$
I would probably go to the Graphic Europe design conference in october. Speakers include Ian Anderson (designers republic) and my long time idol, Peter Saville, best known for his famous record covers done for factory records in the 80’s. Standard rate is 795 lovely Euros.
Me and chumé
Mel is away for some days, so my mission since 3 days is to feed her cat and rabbit. Her cat, jetaime, and her rabbit are closely living together since last march. Since i didn’t knew the name of the rabbit because it changes everytime i see him, i simply decided to call him Chumé.… Continue reading Me and chumé

Why blogs are no Tamagochis
Tamagochis are isolated. Weblogs are connected. Tamagochis die. Weblogs mature. Tamagochis get boring over time. Weblogs get more interesting over time. Tamagochis don’t make friends. Weblogs create networks. [picture taken at BlogWalk, Vienna, via Heiko Hebig]
Help keep bloggers alive!
i had a funny *and weird* idea reading Nika’s post about her scooter accident this morning. See and tell me how weird this is. The idea is to do a little fundraising event, or even promotion stuff like tshirts with written on: “Help keep bloggers alive! Donate!” And of course, we would use the money… Continue reading Help keep bloggers alive!
HVW8 – last call

Critical Pixels
discovered today while searching, again, for a communication class i could take. This time i was looking at concordia communication undergraduate program and i think i should really give it a try.

Six ain’t better than one
In my numerous attempts of getting into an healthier lifestyle, i took the habit of buying a salad at the corner store every time i pass by. Cleaning up the mess that is my flat this morning, i opened the fridge to find out more than 6 unopened salads. Remembers me that good intention must… Continue reading Six ain’t better than one
Manitoba: Up in flames // en feu
2 drummers, a keyboard, 2 guitars, a melodica, and pre recorded voices. Something like my bloody valentine and the beach boys. Add some rock. Weird visuals, and weird masks. Manitoba played for about an hour, and then we’ve got some house tracks. I bet getting up at 8h will be quite difficult, but under 30… Continue reading Manitoba: Up in flames // en feu
Racing for a quiet life
Having a hard time getting up this morning, I promised myself i would stay home tonight with grozamour et tinamour to recover from last nights out.

Gang bang
“Everything is interrelated, interconnected. Everything is interrelated, interconnected. sumptuously taken care of.” After going back in time last week showing my first website dating from 99, someone today remembered me a piece i did for paperjam and Mr. Edgar along with other people. The piece was done using a picture taken from the top of… Continue reading Gang bang

Blame it on the rain
Along with singing in the rain and crying in the rain, i now introduce riding in the rain. I drove back home while the rain started, and now i’m still wondering if i should go out. Electricity went out, rain went on, big time siesta.

et me parlez surtout pas de voyage
Une photo d’aéroport suffit à me faire me tortiller dans tout les sens, c’est comme un coup dans le ventre. C’est sérieux mon problème, mais ya aucun médicament contre la bougeotte. Je peux juste pas passer ma vie ici en sachant que y’a toujours plus à voir autour. Voir la chine à la télé, ca… Continue reading et me parlez surtout pas de voyage

It’s like a whole other country up here
It was real fun to read Maciej’s post about his arriving and his first views of montreal.

De choses élégantes
La vie ne fait pas toujours les choses très élégamment. Ce matin à mon ordi, grozamour essaie une péripétie hors du commun, qui consiste à sauter de ma table de travail pour rejoindre son frêre, 2 étagères plus haut. Il avait mal visé, et me retombe dans les bras, tout paniqué. Tout s’est fait en… Continue reading De choses élégantes
