A sad start of the new year (for some)

I just got an e-mail in my inbox from the folks at jpgmag announcing the unfortunate demise of the magazine on January 5th. A sad start of the new year, unfortunately. I’m especially sad because, now, three of the sites I liked and touted as great examples of the new way the internet is influencing the . . . → Read More: A sad start of the new year (for some)

Six months music challenge, part 9: A whole bunch of stuff

Music for free

First, let me point to Oprah’s favorite things/songs CD free download. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to download it anymore. This was available in at the end of November and only for 48 hours. I’m actually quite excited about this offering. For one, it caters to a different demographis than the nerdcore music I’ve . . . → Read More: Six months music challenge, part 9: A whole bunch of stuff

Articles like this make me want to become a journalist. A company (a canadian company too, makes me ashamed) reinvented the de-humidifier, packaged it with a catchy name (the “watermill”) and a magic bacteria killing UV light and sells it for an outrageously high price (1200$). I understand journalists can’t be expected to know everything about . . . → Read More:

The biggest flower in the world… in HD!

The Titan Arum in Milwaukee is about to bloom. To allow everyone to share on the experience, there’s an HD feed of the flower available. If you can’t access it or if you’re not inclined to install VLC, then I suggest you go to the static image feed updated every 5 seconds. More details on the . . . → Read More: The biggest flower in the world… in HD!

FOSS taking over the world

The french legislature switched from windows to linux in July 2007. ZDnet ran an article a year later (in french) with several first hand accounts of the effects of the transition. The conclusion was that everything went well.

Now, the German foreign ministry is in the process of migrating its 11 000 desktops to linux with about . . . → Read More: FOSS taking over the world

Six months music challenge, part 8: Undercover black man

Well, apologies are in order. First off, I must apologize for not having posted anything in a long while. Mostly, I was busy with a conference and just dropped the ball when I came back, but I also had some website problems, which leads me to my second set of apologies. My website was blocked with . . . → Read More: Six months music challenge, part 8: Undercover black man

Six months music challenge, part 7 : Geneviève et Matthieu

This one comes straight from my own town. Geneviève et Matthieu are a duo singing eclectic music. I’ve never been an incredibly great fan, a little too crazy for my taste. It appears that, lately, they’ve been exploring music which is more, well, actually music.

This group satisfies the criteria for this challenge since they give music . . . → Read More: Six months music challenge, part 7 : Geneviève et Matthieu

Six months challenge part 6: The bastard fairies

The bastard fairies is an eclectic type of stuff, yet interesting. This particular scheme is to give away a good part of the album (in this case, 12 of 17 songs) and sell the full album for a price (in this case in physical form). I actually downloaded the free 12 songs a while back (before . . . → Read More: Six months challenge part 6: The bastard fairies
