It’s rare that I pick up a printed book or newspaper these days. But I’m buying more magazines than I ever have – they’re just better and more expensive.

Friday, October 14, 2016
Hey everyone, Just taking a quick moment on this beautiful monday morning to let you know that I'll be in Paris between November 2-10th. And I'd love to meet up with readers of the blog, as well as friends and just about anyone else, hence this announcement. My plan during the week is to work, go out, have fun, attend a concert or two, and make the most of what the city has to offer.🌶🔥🍶

Saturday, October 8, 2016
With upcoming projects and travels coming soon, I’ve decided to invest in slightly better gear for my nomadic aspiration. TL;DR: I’ve bought the new GoPro Hero 5 Black to help me record memories on the go, without the need to always have my bulky (bulkier) camera with me in my bag. Here’s a quick comparison and test between the GoPro and the Sony Nex-5N I’ve been using until now… youtu.be/VgU-tSbxA…Music Love & Beats | Vol 2: “Letting Go”

Wednesday, June 22, 2016
This past year has been a wild ride, to say the least. In May last year, I finished working for Realmac and started working as a contractor for a low-key B2B SaaS company. Officially, I’m working like an employee, working the whole week on behalf of this one of a kind small business. They’ve been around since 1991, as old as I am, which is something to celebrate in this fast industry.Vlog 002: Rainy Weekend and Epic Coffee Fail

About 18 years ago, something incredible happened in France. It was in between the months of June and July 1998. Our team won the FIFA World Cup. Two years later, during the Euro, France won again, being the time ever that a team would win both titles back to back. During this time, I was 7-9 then, you could really feel the excitement of young kids in school. This coincided with the time that we moved from the suburbs of Paris to the South of France.Vlog 001: Scary Football

Wednesday, June 15, 2016
Katie Notopoulos for BuzzFeed: "For women, safety while walking down the street is something we think about pretty much daily, most times we leave the house." What I found most impressive during the keynote, behind feature updates and announcements, was Apple’s true commitment to diversity. Between a very diverse keynote (4 women on stage, 3 people of color, and the incredible Bozoma St John - whom everyone is asking to see in upcoming keynotes), and features dedicated to security and to users with disabilities, it feels clear to me that no other company really tries to help their end-users who happen to be outside of the stereotypical Silicon Valley White Man.Digital Digest | Eamonn Carey - Season 01 Episode 05

My friend Adam Tinworth (of One Man & His Blog fame) has launched a more personal blog, called Coffee and Complexity, powered by Ghost. As I had missed out on the launch of his new blog, I’ve decided to read the articles he had posted until now, including this one : “I do NOT miss this aspect of blogging.” One of the many reasons I’ve moved to Wordpress nowadays, boils down to a couple of things including the FTP technicality.The Musical Internet time-sink

I needed something to work along to, and since re-reading this article, I figured, why not listen to something hard, heavy and filthy: Skrillex.No one kept Prince from a party.
Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Since the announcement of Prince’s passing, I’ve finally taken the time to educate myself and listen to his music, trying to learn from the different records he’s put out over the past 40 years. Prince was an artist who’s transcended music: he was moving across other arts, has influenced the world of fashion, and was so influential that he’s amongst the handful of human beings that have done more for the acceptance of others, regardless of their identities, gender and sexuality, than most politicians, regulators, or even artists.Digital Digest | Josh Long - Season 01 Episode 04

As someone who’s working a lot in Customer Support, I have a handful of industry-resources I’m pretty open to read and catch-up on trends, etc… In the latest email from We Support NYC, I came across this link, comparing average industry salaries. Before I dive in, keep in mind that I’m technically a freelancer, contractor working remotely for a US-based company. I’ve worked in the industry since 2011, so I technically have 5 years behind me.About the new Kindle Oasis

One of the most frequent yet hardest questions I’m asked these days is “What do you do?” Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count, and every time, have given a different answer. See, it’s very hard for me to answer this simple question. Am I a developer? No, but I can code. Am I a designer? Not at all, although I know how to use Graphic Design applications well enough to accommodate myself.
