I never knew

I’ve finally taken the time to build the site for the Yulzine Duality project I had mentioned. It’s 95% ready so I am now asking for three things:

1. Photographers

































































2. Writers

1. Themes

   Comment on this entry or email me if you’re interested.

   [Update] J’allais oublier, c’est full bilingue donc les thèmes peuvent être dans les deux langues et les réponses (post) que vous allez faire sont dans la langue de votre choix.

Mostly, I try to stay away from politics and/or US bashing but I saw a couple of things today. In Wired.

Safe: The Race to Protect Ourselves in a Newly Dangerous World, written by three contributing writers to Wired magazine and a former editor of that publication, asks why, if our society is one of the most technologically advanced in the world, we can’t protect ourselves from threats to our safety.

Emphasis mine. In this case society means the US. I wouldn’t say they are the most technologically advanced. Neither are we (Canada). I’d give that to Japan or some Scandinavian countries like Sweden or Finland who have all the same technological advances we or the US do while being ahead 2-3 years in cellular tech and having more advanced government services, automation and web wise. Social and ecological awareness vs technology are also miles ahead. Agree, disagree?

Not directly related but also having to do with the US not dominating as much (except army wise of course). China overtakes U.S. as world’s biggest consumer

Brown warns that the United States, which is the world’s leading debtor nation, now depends heavily on Chinese capital to underwrite its fast-growing debt.

“If China ever decides to divert this capital surplus elsewhere, either to internal investment or to the development of oil, gas, and mineral resources elsewhere in the world, the U.S. economy will be in trouble.”

The commies are underwriting the greatest capitalist country. Whodathunkit!

Je ne suis plus abonné à La Presse depuis un certain temps et la seule chose qui me manque vraiment, c’est Foglia. Je ne suis pas toujours daccord avec lui et c’est vrai que des fois il fait un peu “vieux con” mais plus souvent qu’autrement, ce qu’il dit a plein de sens et il est pissant. Court exemple d’aujourd’hui, en parlant d’un moron:

… a été traité de pute par une des plus joyeuses guidounes de la profession, Franco Nuovo du Journal de Montréal. Il est gentil, Franco, mais qu’est-ce qu’il est con. Il est beau, mais qu’est-ce qu’il est nul. Ca fait 10 fois que je lui dis: arrête d’écrire, fais de la radio, ça parait moins.

… mais Nuovo avait cru que j’était dupe et il avait dit cette chose énorme, venant de lui: Fogila a pas compris!!! J’en pleure encore. Regarde, Franco, le jour ou tu vas comprendre quelque chose que j’aurai pas compris, je prends ma retraite.

J’m’ennui.

I linked to this before but now there’s a video of the Delicious Monster guys working from a cafe all day. Fun idea and I certainly do quite a bit of that by myself but I’m not sure how comfortable I’d be with being there pretty much full time and in a group of 5-6. The management seems to like it but still, isn’t it a bit taking advantage of the place?

A Moveable Feast
