Running - Aiming at March half-marathon

without comments


Picture 1-9
As some of you might now - Franck (VR-WEAR’s CTO) pushed me into signing in the Paris half-marathon in March - which must have been some kind of revenge for me getting him in WoW. Anyway started some training aiming at a 1h40 on March, and this is getting good, yesterday was my first time breaking the 10km distance ! (Running had never been my sport before). I played safe by not going or 172bpm at anytime but there is definitely some huge room for improvements there!

iTunes 8

without comments

While I had almost forgot I had music on my computer - I have been switching progressively to Last.FM enjoying its automatic playlist features and discovering new music, the arrival of iTunes 8 brought much rejoice to my 20Gigs of music thanks to the Genius smart playlist feature. This generates playlist that match the song you’re playing.
Next to that I’m having lots of fun with the new visualization plugins in iTunes 8, really nice effects !
I’m a bit disappointed by the itunes-only news of yesterday but I guess you can’t launch a new cool device every few months…

Wearable computing in 2020

without comments

This is my holiday’s book - that I received home the day after I left (Ok, it costed me only 4€ but shipping from the US is so slow…) - and it’s developing a really interesting vision about the use of wearable computing in 2020s which is giving me a whole bunch of new ideas for VR-WEAR.

In the near future, the European Center for Defense against Disease discovers a diabolical pseudomimivirus. Rather than set off a panic, secret agents of the EU, Japan, and India work clandestinely to uncover a conspiracy seemingly based in a San Diego lab. Former poet Robert Gu, a recovering Alzheimer’s patient (one of the lucky few who took to all the treatments), returns to school just as agents Braun, Vaz, and Mitsuri put their wheels in motion. Immensely frustrated by simultaneously living with his son’s family and completely reeducating himself, Gu becomes a perfect dupe for the hacker hired by the gang of spooks. Under cover of a library protest, Gu and some old friends get into the lab, trailed by one of Gu’s adolescent classmates and his granddaughter. The conspiracy runs deep and has some terrifying implications on account of YGBM (you gotta believe me) technology, regardless of the conspirators’ intentions. The near future is less alien here than in some of Vinge’s other work, but no less fascinating and well constructed. Regina Schroeder

Ready to dive !

without comments

Holidays are booked - yay (we’re leaving on saturday) and I got a week of dive - at last (I bought the camera case almost 2 years ago and never got to use it - was starting to worry that the camera might break before I got a chance to take underwater pictures…).
