  • A comment on Talk: Kirby Ferguson: Embrace the remix

    Aug 15 2012: Just thinking about open-source.
    And also the hypocrite Creative Commons (that I use that myself very often) stuff.

    I like Kirby's words.
    I agree.
    There are a bit like ... shortcuts between things but who would have been better in 10 minutes..?!


    The major problem, today, imho, is the middle-people between art & public.
    BECAUSE, there is that major that would, indeed, promote you, but also handling so much money from everyone, artists AND audience are a bit locked into the maze !

    The only solution is DIY.
    I'm an active DIY promoter in all my activity fields!

  • A comment on Conversation: Would you rather be an information producer, propagator, or consumer?

    Feb 23 2012: Hi Joanna,
    nice topic!

    I think we all tend to become producer.
    Today, social media transformed everyone into a little producer of data, or a bigger one.

    It reminds me the Zawinski's law about the softwares which said:
    "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."
    Fortunately, we wouldn't be replaced ourself, but finally, it is the same concept for people.
    We all tend to become producer progressively after to have been only consumer, then a bit propagator.

    It is like a unspeciation, I mean, we are becoming less dedicated but more global in our social behaviour.

  • A comment on Conversation: what is your dream job?

    Dec 8 2011: I'm currently living my dream job.
    It is hard to explain that in 2000 characters only.

    I quit my boring job as a Security IT Architect in order to follow my dreams.
    And it could only work, and it work ; not because I have strong plans and a lot of money, but because listening me deeply, I couldn't be wrong.

    A comment on Conversation: In ten words or less, what is a question no one (yet) knows the answer to?

    Dec 8 2011: Why does a minor chord make us feeling sad ?
