This is the trailer to “A Cross The Universe”, a documentary/live DVD of the french duo Justice. I believe we have reached a time when dj’s are starting to become what rock stars used to be. The Rock n’roll of today is all about million dollar producers and arena shows, dance music is about sex, drugs and alcohol.
I understand that north-Americans have a tendency to get upset when non-Americans support candidates and have a voice about the whole political process, maybe if it didn’t have such a big impact on the rest of the world we would shut up and not care.
I’m not going to make a statement about supporting Obama, I just read a great post by Dan Roam (author of Back of the Napkin) that illustrates costs of living during the Clinton administration versus the Bush administration, and his conclusion is:
.
It’s time to kick republican ass!
In case you didn’t know there’s this conference being held in Lisbon (that is of course, the most beautiful city in the world) next week called SHiFT.
The conference spans trough 3 days of workshops and talks, with the present of Brian Suda, Andy Budd, Tara Hunt, Stowe Boyd and many others.
The focus will be on the impact of technology in subjects like Education, History, Genetics, Economics, Accessibility, Transportation, Mobile Technologies, User Experience, Energy and Architecture, Art and Open Technologies.
I’ll be attending the whole three days and I’m really excited since this is my first conference on this subject. If you’re interested I have a discount coupon that will give you 20% off on the ticket price: adrift6b8b2e8a.
So, according to my archive, my blogging experience started 7 years ago tomorrow. I’m not sure if this is accurate, I certainly don’t remember when I started blogging “consciously”. A lot has happened since that time, back then I was in college, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with what I was learning.
Blogger was the blogging tool, this was before Moveable Type or Wordpress, I remember the way to find new blogs was though blog lists, linking to other blogs was also big (nobody does that now).
A lot of blogs were born and died as fast as they were born. Back then it was something special and different to do, these days your grandmother has a blog about knitting and it’s probably a success. I wouldn’t say it’s not fun anymore, but it sure isn’t special.
This blog has always (and will continue to be) a dump for thoughts, suggestion, rants and raves and self promotion. It was never big, never will be, nor do I care about that. It never really had a focus, focused blogs are boring and die very fast because you eventually drain out all the possible content. I always preferred personal blogs to the other kind. So I’m going to keep on blogging, for another 7 years, or 14, or 21, or who knows, for as long as it makes sense to me, for as long as I need a channel to communicate.
