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…Saturday, October 1, 2016

I finally took the time to publish a new Vlog! youtu.be/w8TZENdv5… After the attack in Nice, it’s been really good to enjoy live, go out, and spend some quality time with friends! Thanks to all those wonderful friends that have been around during this period!Tuesday, July 12, 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.Monday, June 20, 2016
The second of my irregular vlogs brings the tale of a lazy rainy weekend, and some misadventures around town. youtu.be/pdsabNrGf…Sunday, June 19, 2016
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.Friday, June 17, 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.Thursday, May 19, 2016

I’ve been meaning to do a bit more on the music front, so here’s a very special something I’ve cooked up overnight: a relaxing mix I’ve pulled out of some old Soundcloud favourites!

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.Friday, May 6, 2016
I want to talk about music today. Looking for 5 recommendations? Read on! TL;DR: Listen to the latest releases from these 5 talented artists: Bibi Bourelly Jon Bellion Kaytranada James Blake Skepta The long story of how I got sucked in to Spotify Recently, I’ve been listening to a lot more music, bringing the ratio of music-to-podcast back to a healthy 50%. 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.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.Wednesday, April 20, 2016

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.Friday, April 15, 2016
This new Kindle looks great! I’m part of the minority of people loving this new slim industrial design. But at $289/289€/£269 , this is way too expansive to upgrade from my 2015 Kindle Paperwhite. [youtube youtube.com/watch [≠]Thursday, April 14, 2016
An insightful article from the Harvard Business Review: it’s always great to hear about these things and realise that “It’s not just Me”… hbr.org/video/emb… You may have to disable your ad-block since they use proprietary players or their videos… (0_o'). Oh, and if you’re using the Ghostery plugin, to protect yourself from third-party advertising services, data-mining, and just for your privacy, you’ll have to temporarily deactivate Rich Relevance, reload, and then Kaltura.Wednesday, April 13, 2016
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.Tuesday, April 5, 2016
Apple won’t become boring with age. The company is just as exciting — and occasionally as unexpected — as they were 40 years ago. Of course, I owe Apple an unending debt: This is the company that made my life exciting, rewarding, and brought me to Silicon Valley. A great note worth your time, from the man who almost became Apple’s CEO back in the 80’s. In his article, Mr Gassée reflects on his time at the company, and extends the reflection to the company itself.Monday, April 4, 2016
During this single episode — which really only spans a single night — Marnie grows more as a person and a character than she did in any of Girls' past seasons. HBO’s Girls has produced another great episode that goes in depth with one of its most quiet characters. As I’ve pointed out on Twitter: twitter.com/iTibz/sta… My point here is that this show puts on characters that are both relatable, and yet incredibly self-destructing.Sunday, April 3, 2016
Young people aren't dreaming. They're thinking. And we should listen to them. An article worth reading. Maybe, just maybe, being naive and optimistic is a good thing. [≠]Wednesday, March 30, 2016
