Converse

You need conversation. In practically every field of artistic endeavor, we see success stories grounded in artists who engage in some form of conversation with their audience. JMS kept Babylon 5 alive by hanging out on fan newsgroups. Neil Gaiman’s blog is built almost entirely on conversing simultaneously with thousands of readers. All the indie… Continue reading Converse

Montreal by non-montrealers

Its always nice to read about montreal from people who just moved in. Makes me see my city with new eyes. Homes for milions.

43 Things

Uh, there’s been a lot going on at 43things since i last logged in. Learn geography with me, see what i want to do, and people i want to meet.

TV is out too

Hey kids, TV is definitely out. Four Eyed Monsters is one of my favorite vlog – i honestly much prefer watching these guy than turning my cable TV on. What’s wrong? Blogging gave written medias the worse headaches ever (circa 2002-2003). Podcasting made us realize how commercial radio is poor, and that there is a… Continue reading TV is out too

Émue

Mon seul post de la journée se résumera à ceci, trouvé sur le blogue de Marc-André : Lu dans l’édition de juin 1971 du magazine contre-culturel québécois Mainmise : ” Tous les computers du globe, toute la science, toute la sagesse, toute l’expérience humaine deviendront accessibles à chaque individu. Chacun de nous pourra puiser à… Continue reading Émue

Retour sur la conférence Lesblogs 2.0 : Mal du pays

Mon retour au Québec m’a fait beaucoup réfléchir. En fait, c’est plus le fait de partir pour ensuite revenir ici qui me fait réfléchir. Sortir de mon petit monde m’a fait découvrir des choses que je ne pouvais concevoir tant que je ne les avait pas vues et vécues. Difficile de verbaliser tout ça sans… Continue reading Retour sur la conférence Lesblogs 2.0 : Mal du pays

Apophis

Dans la rubrique des tragédies et catastrophes à venir, et pour bien faire suite au dernier épisode ou Ben fabulait sur comment Bush pourrait envahir notre petit pays en 2007, vous apprécierez sûrement ce qui suit… un bel excercice que de penser à qui vous metteriez aux commandes de la ‘tite fusée… : Apophis, un… Continue reading Apophis

iriver on OS X

we are sorry, the T30 is not supported on OS X! I’ve got about 8 hours of recording from Paris – there’s no way i’m gonna send it back to the store.

Post conference

Following my post about Mena’s speech at Les Blogs, here you can access the full text version of her speech followed by more thoughts on the topic: ‘The majority of people in the world aren’t blogging yet, and a lot of them could truly benefit from this form of communication. We want them to be… Continue reading Post conference

Les blogs notes

– blogging gives freedom (for artists) – blogging breaks hierarchy – bloggers can be or are brands – blogs are online personnas, id’s (that’s what i think since 2 years, i thought everyone knew about that) – see the web as people, readers respect bloggers they read, – shift in economy to a ‘participan economy’… Continue reading Les blogs notes

Les blogs 2.0 – podcasting and vlogging panel

notes: – woah, someone’s teaching vbloging in college – notion of speach enabling blogs – 3G = multimedia devices – vlog and podcasts creators want to create content, get attention, share content, express themselves – emotional and spontaneous content – publisher vs amateur publisher – text recognitions into podcast and vlog – capture content –… Continue reading Les blogs 2.0 – podcasting and vlogging panel

Les Blogs – thoughts

– Blogs build bridges between communities (and different cultures) – Understand the blogosphere, trust the transparence – blogs are driven by passion and authority – we need more people to bring blogs to ‘normal’ people – behind all products are people; consumers now want to talk with these people (commercial aspect of blogging, conversation with… Continue reading Les Blogs – thoughts

En feu dans la ville lumère, 2ème partie

Les gens sont en feu. La conférence n’est même pas commencé que flickr est remplis de photo. Pensée : quelqun me parlait hier d’un mouvement de ‘contre-culture’ ou les gens après avoir documenté leurs vies à l’extrème vont décider de cesser toute forme d’archivage d’information sur leurs vies ou événements.

Les Blogs

The conference is starting tomorrow. Tonite some of the conference participants are heading to the Lizard Lounge (infos here). It will be possible to reach me live from the conference for the time i’ll be online on IM (m_chantale@hotmail.com). All pictures from the participants are tagged ‘lesblogs’ and can be seen here. Weeee!

Sparekey

A concept i had in mind on which we exchanged me and patrick yesterday evening is about giving a good friend your blog access to delete malicious comments in the case you wouldn’t be available to do so. For exemple, i know that Antoine has my blog pw and username, and i know he is… Continue reading Sparekey

Live audio recording

Is the iRiver still a good buy for recording interviews and live shows? I am in need of such cheap device before leaving.

Infos from my listeners

Some national newspaper is doing (yet another) article about podcasting and i need to know the following from my listeners: 1 – Which band(s) did you discovered from my podcast for which you bought something from (cd, itunes, tshirt, show ticket, …)? 2 – Which artist that i played on my show would you say… Continue reading Infos from my listeners

Women in podcasting

Just as i gave an interview about podcasting this morning, someone pointed me to a Wired article about women in podcasting. Seems like the Portable media expo which took place last week was filled by… men: “What she found at the conference was a world overwhelmed by male voices and male exhibitors. Malley said she… Continue reading Women in podcasting

Belle montée de lait

Peu de nouvelles dans les dernières 24 heures ici d’dans, mais attention, ca en valait le coup si ce n’est que pour faire une montée de lait contre l’imbécillité humaine. Une amie m’écrit ce soir pour me dire qu’on a kidnappé son blogue en le citant comme exemple sur un site commercial sans son autorisation.… Continue reading Belle montée de lait
