About

I’m a 25 year old Montrealer. I love software, the web, good people, my family and good fun. When I’m not working, reading or thinking, you can find me working out or socializing with humans.

Reverse Graffiti

June 21st, 2008
Here’s one instance of green-washing that we’re 100% behind. The Reverse Graffiti Project imbues the guerrilla tactics of street-art with an eco-friendly element, detourning the definition of graffiti by actually cutting through and cleaning up grit to leave a lasting impression.

Read books by email :)

April 25th, 2008
We created DailyLit because we spent hours each day on email but could not find the time to read a book. Now the books come to us by email. Problem solved.

Using commandline on the web is something I thought about a while back, after interacting with Twitter on the IM using commands. It turns out, it wasn’t too bad an idea and some good people worked on a project they’ve open sourced.

Also: if you haven’t checked out Humanized Enso yet, consider doing so. These good people were at PyCon, but I wasn’t hip to their game then…

Some guy asks a question about large programs written in dynamic languages on reddit. Comments pasted here are some of the gems I found…

“Therefore, dynamic languages don’t actually exist… they’re all just a figment of our imagination. All languages are eventually compiled down to machine code and therefore all languages are just fancy ways of talking assembly.”

Good people day

April 3rd, 2008

Gary V is talking about taking some time to talk about good people. How cool is that.

 I want to try to get the WHOLE INTERNET COmmunity behind this mission I have to make sure that tomorrow people write and talk abd blog and twitter and just flat out SING about people that are AWESOME and GOOD. It is time that we take control of the fact that WE are the media and pump out a day tomorrow that will make NOISE across this WORLD! Please take the time tonight to gather your thoughts as you come up with ideas on how to spread the word about AWESOME people! I am looking for blog posts, twitters, powncers, facebooking, digging, flickring, stumpling on all things that are good about PEOPLE!

I am not quite ready for any PDA (public display of appreciation), but who knows, there are a few hours left in the day!

I like this idea

 Sometimes, it’s faster and easier to just use the command line. Thanks to the new FriendFeed API, I was able write a little script that connects my command line o my FriendFeed.

Cool!

The “Yes We Can” slogan uses the language of social networks and collective intelligence. Young people online use “we”, politicians use “I”, very egocentric. Some political pundits say his platform is weak. It’s not weak, it’s like a stub in Wikipedia. We’ll do this together.
