\"Birthday<\/a><\/p>\n

Am i a celebrity,
\nand why am i doing a podcast?
\n 2 questions asked by a student in communications from L’Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al who need these answers for his work. Ici ma chance d’enfin servir la science.<\/p>\n

1. i dont think i am a celebrity. Sign of being a celebrity in Quebec would be to have my face on the cover of some Quebecor magazine, something which might never happen. Else would be to have people recognizing me on the streets, something that is not happening (unless you guys are all faking like you dont know me or are too shy to say hi). I am someone who’s upfront with technological trends, who plays with web technologies and use them as a medium (see me as an artist using the web as a medium, like a brush would be to a painter). I do something new and different, and i think i’m a good communicator too, at least people seem to like what i am writing over here, as they like to listen to me talking. I could be a dj too. What’s a celebrity?<\/p>\n

A celebrity is a person who is widely recognized in a society. The word stems from the Latin celebritas, itself from the adjective celeber meaning ‘famous, celebrated’.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. I use these tools – blog, video blog, photo blog, and audio blog (podcasting) – as tools to express myself, toys to play and create something with, as an artist and communicator. F**k you if you laugh at me as you read this. <\/p>\n
