Always weird to see my name in the Chinese press. i have been recently interviewed by a few Hong Kong NewsPapers. Here in the Hong Kong Economic Digest. The guy in front of me in the article is the boss of MSN hong kong. MSN is doing a great job there. But ICQ is still leading the way.
For those like me who do not understand a word of traditional chinese, the article is about how great, innovative and strong ICQ is….It is not talking about me…Thank GOD!
I am so impressed by WHAT S UP. For news freak like me, it is one of the most amazing and innovative interface i have seen recently to get infos in real time. Each time a news is falling a spot on the map clings and leads you to the information.
Suggestion for improvement: segmentation by category / geographic zone
Hey sorry guys if lately i have not posted so much either here or on TechCrunch.fr but i have been busy for some good reasons.
One of them is that i had some meeting with Michael Arrington, which was quite cool. I also met with some cool web2.0 startups that will be covered in TechCrunch.fr soon.
We are preparing a lot of cool stuff for TechCrunch.fr and i will be posting soon about them.
Sorry for my english speaking readers but i will have to do that one in french.
Hier j'ai assisté avec 3000 autres français à un spectacle EXCEPTIONNEL de Gad Elmaleh à Jerusalem. Je dis bien EXCEPTIONNEL. Gad a été d'une présence et d'un humour qui dépasse l'imagination. S'apercevant dès le début que toute la salle ou presque avait vu son dernier DVD il a modifié en live son spectacle et je pense que au moins 50% de son show était sinon improvisé du moins totalement inédit. Beaucoup de vannes sur les israeliens et les juifs en Israel (comme quoi quand c'est fait intelligemment on peut aussi se moquer de la religion ou des juifs...à bon entendeur)
On a eu droit à toute la panoplie habituel avec en plus
Pas mal de vannes en hébreu qu'il parle très bien (pour ceux qui étaient là ANI MISTANDEP ALEKHEM ATEM LO MISTANDEPIM ALAY)
un coup de fil en direct d'arthur de paris pour nous raconter sa dernière vanne sur la grippe des poulets,
des chansons en hébreu (sur le thème de PETIT OISEAU)
un superbe final émouvant ou il déclare :
"Plus d'artistes doivent venir en Israel et pas que les juifs; on a filmé cette soirée pour montrer au monde qu'il y a des gens qui savent rire et vivre"
Pour vous mettre dans l'ambiance écouter ces courts extraits sonores.
Bref un très très très grand moment de spectacle d'intelligence et d'humour. Plus de photos du spectacle ici
I just discovered this master lesson by Piano Genius Chick Corea. Anyone interested in improvisation, piano or jazz should urgently watch this. in the programme: flamenco style, giant steps (coltrane), oblivion (bud powell). A taste of heaven.
It's been a while i have not published any jazzcast. I must say TechCrunch Fr keeps me quite busy. Anyway i just recorded a new version of the amazing Blue in Green by Bill Evans/Miles Davis but this time in Trio Version and in Bossa Rythm
