TOKI WOKI. 

Hi there, fellows!

You may have noticed that some­thing was going wrong with the web­site and the blog these days, and you were right… Some dumb-ass by the name of mon7b6@gmail.com (go ahead spam­mers, do the dirty work!) hacked my probably-not-so-hard-to-hack site and added some stuff of his own, over­writ­ing the blog’s theme main file and the site’s home page…

Being abroad and trav­el­ing it has been hard for me to fix it quickly, and I had to dis­able the blog’s theme and cre­ate a basic new home page from my iPhone, thanks to FTP On The Go (an ugly but use­ful app that I’ve been happy to dis­cov­ered in the App Store). Every­thing should be OK now but I’ll have to wait until I get back home to restore what’s been destroyed.

By the way, I’m in Ulaan Baatar right now and, except the fact that fix­ing a web­site is hard, every­thing is OK here!

Oh! And Link Dump is bro­ken, too. Damn it!

I just came back home from Canada and USA but I’ll be abroad again tomor­row ; for a train trip across Rus­sia, Mon­go­lia and China with the Trans-Siberian Railway…

Dur­ing this 3 week trip I’ll stop (for 2 to 6 days) in Moscow, Yeka­ter­in­burg, Irkutsk, Ulaan Baatar and Bei­jing. I just can’t wait.

I’ll try to send pics while abroad but I don’t really know how easy access­ing the Inter­net will be. We’ll see!

As usual, this is going to be hard for me to reply to com­ments and feed­back, but drop’em any­way ; I’ll man­age them from an Inter­net Café if I can, or when I get back home… See you soon, readers!

My first iPhone app is finally online!

edu­Mon­key is an iPhone ver­sion of an old toy that we (at edu­Me­dia) love and first con­verted to a Flash sim­u­la­tion…

The (free) app is both an addi­tion and a mul­ti­pli­ca­tion table ; giv­ing you (in the hands of the mon­key) the result of the oper­a­tion between 2 num­bers (under the feet). Sim­ply drag the feet and see the result. Noth­ing too crazy but hey, it’s my first app!

Go get it, fool!

Show it to your teacher, talk about it to your pals, have fun with it and share thoughts… Because I love feedback.

By the way, I dis­cov­ered this toy via Cuarto Derecha, thanks buddies!

4 cities, 4 (almost) ran­dom pics, and some words.

Mon­tréal

The first city I vis­ited dur­ing the trip. Look­ing pretty much like a big US city, except peo­ple speak french… My brother and I went to see Ran­cid live, where we ate our first “Pou­tine” ; funny stuff. We also saw Mis­teur Valaire and Omnikrom. MV was a good dis­cov­ery, go grab their album!

Lots of nice tags around “Les Foufounes Elec­triques”, also… And a fire­works battle!

Québec City

Lovely town, small streets, drunk peo­ple. It was both “La Fête de la Musique” and the national day when we were there, so empty beer cans were fill­ing up the gut­ters! I went fish­ing for the first time in my life and got a trout, yep. We ate it and had some lob­ster, too… Yay!

Before leav­ing we stopped for break­fast at a weird place called “Restau­rant Madrid” where you get to see mon­ster trucks and dinosaurs on the park­ing lot. Sick!

Wash­ing­ton

The placed where the NECC hap­pened, and where we had our own booth. Lots of peo­ple walk­ing around, lots of huge booths with big good­ies… We looked tiny!

Nice city for free muse­ums, the cur­rent Fea­ture Pho­tog­ra­phy in Smithsonian’s Por­trait Gallery is awe­some, go visit it! If you pre­fer dinosaurs or mam­mals, the Nat­ural His­tory Museum is good too! Of course I had to see the White House, the Capi­tol and Lincoln’s Memo­r­ial…

New York City

The cra­zi­est city of all.

Went to see “Up” on Times Square’s AMC, with 3D glasses and all: loved it. Bought a pair of Bose Supra at J&R. Went to Jonathan LeVine Gallery to see Invader’s Top 10 exhi­bi­tion and some of WK Inter­act’s works. Headed to Brooklyn’s South­paw for Cage’s album release con­cert, with Tone Tank, Yak Ballz and more… Had a break­fast with Lutz, Zoe and their 1-month-old baby in SoHo.

And more. One day I’ll live there.

That’s it!

Want more? Have some (untouched) pics on Picasa!

Just came home from NYC.

Those last 3 weeks have been awe­some, I’ll hope­fully post details and pic­tures about the trip soon!
