  • 15 sunsets and sunrises per day

    What is weighting 400 tons, measures 100m wide and flies at 27,000 km/hour just 400 km above our head? The 14 year old, 150 billion dollars, human build, habitable satellite we call International Space Station, or ISS, or call name: Alpha. Well, this spacecraft has fascinated me since its beginnings. I’m not sure I would…

  • Ring My Bell #CoverTuesday

    The number 1 fan of my cover Tuesdays rang my bell yesterday night, complaining that I didn’t publish anything this Tuesday, and the Tuesday before that and that I wasn’t really consistent anymore. And it’s true. I have a responsibility before you. I started this a year ago. And I never thought I’d run dry.…

  • Slides of the presentation @RecyclartBXL

    Presentation of the [loveMachine] is in a couple hours at Recyclart and I thought it would be great to use the Facebook itself as presentation tool. So the obvious choice was to create a set of pictures and upload them as an album. Once the first picture of the album is shown, I could even…

  • 100 views of summertime

    Is George Gershwin’s “Summertime” the Mount Fuji of music covers? Looking for a cover I heard on the radio this morning, I stumbled on this blog that lists a hundred versions of the song. Apart from Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson or Ray Charles, I didn’t expect to find the Doors, R.E.M. or Morcheeba…

  • Finally Facebook implements the “dislike”… but it’s complicated

    Since all my likes are handled by the [loveMachine], I found myself looking for other things to do on Facebook. That’s when I stumbled on the (hidden) “dislike” function. Since it’s a long awaited feature, I must warn you that it’s not as easy as the “like”. It requires at least 3 clicks, works only…

  • Libre Graphics Meeting 2014 from social media

    In Leipzig for a couple of days, attending the Libre Graphics Meeting. It’s a yearly gathering of coders, users, developpers and designers of free software, all revolving around graphic design and other visually related free culture projects.
