As seen on one of my favourite blogs called Emerging Technologies (RSS), I add here a post about a huge special report (hosted on Forbes) focusing on communications and how it affects our everyday life. It covers this inexhaustible subject by gathering 43 different articles written by smart people I guess.

This is a very interesting report to read, due to its multi-field approach. Hare are some of the topics:

Can Chimps Talk?
Spontaneous Invention Of Language
How The Internet Changed Communication

and so on... Need to read some more now, so get out of here!

Please update.

This it it, I'm back to work after one week of vacation in Berlin. We had a great time there, except with the weather that was kind of against us. During those rainy days I had the opportunity to 'work' on my fingerboarding skills, and have tried to practice some beginner's tricks, such as shuv-it, shuv-it 360, ollies and so on. By the way, Dictoon had a quite good idea by adding some olive oil to our wheels, which made our wheels much less noisy, a little bit more tasty as well.

I think I am going to develop the Fingerboarding section of da pifpafteam. Be sure to check that little video recorded today at home during my lunch pause.

"Sky was blue, sun was yellow, fingerboard was oiled"
Bleh who said I was 28 years old?

I have updated Annecypix with the last pictures I have made with my 45 years old camera. It shows some photos of autumn in Annecy, and some of the "descente des alpages" a great even where crafters and farmers get back from the mountains in the valley. It was a very pleasant day.

Wops, maybe it's time to get my plane now...

Check the pictures

I'll be in vacation during one week in Berlin. There may be no updates during this time, but this won't change a lot from usual frequency. Anyway, I hope to have a great moment there and have planned to visit Neue Nationalgalerie and approximatively a thousands of other places... It seems the meteo is not going to be very favorable, but this won't change motivation and the desire to discover this astonishing town.

I'll be back on next wednesday, and will be very glad to be back to work.

Bleh, enough said, time to prepare my trip...

OK so after I have totally screwed Movable Type after having done absolutely stupid things, it seems the site is back to normal state. At least for the moment...

I'm using a temporary skin called Beckett, created by Lilia Ahner, before I understand how to make my own one. It seems it's not that simple but I'll do my best, and there's a lot of litterature concerning Movable Type styles.

Anyway, this one is very clean and will do the job perfectly.

Styles library on six apart website.

From now on I'll be totally messing up with CSS. And this may end in an actual different 'skin'.

So be prepared to see horrible things in the next few weeks as I don't plan any deadline for this thing. It may even never have an end if I deal that as I deal other stuff in my life.


Here is what I want:
something cute
something readable (well, when you see the average length of my articles, you may wonder why this would need to be readable)
something original
something less disinfected & sterile
something scratchy
something hot
something.

Come back, again and again, and see what's new, different, horrible. Niarfkl.

How could this be true if Google wasn't here? Yes, now Google has its own local dentist and the guy seems to be happy. He even has his own blog and you can see a picture of his office on Google campus. C'est formidable... and this is surely not a hoax :)

Read his blog.

Welcome to a new site in the ring: www.riantecolline.com
The site is online since yesterday, and provides information concerning 4 cute chalets to be rent, located near Annecy.
