July 4th: A beautiful day
I woke up early and decided to go for a road trip with my bike. I decided to head towards the Bainbridge island. My friends Sophie and David also had a similar idea but 2 hours later than me 🙂 So, while they were driving towards Port Townsend (north of the island and part of…

An expensive day: MacBook, iPhone, GPS and communications system for the bike
Today was one of those days… I’ve been planning to make these purchases for a while and I just took the time to do them at the same time. My 2-years old Windows Mobile phone was showing its age. Since Microsoft hasn’t released anything compelling yet in the user experience front (I am hearing that…

48h film project – “Marco Polo”, the movie
For a first attempt at making a short film, I think it has turned out really really well. The entire team did an amazing job. Even the music is original, which I think is rare for the 48 hour film project competition. Check out my previous posts for background and photos: “48h film project –…

Glastonbury 2009 – It was another great one
I am back in London now. Glastonbury was another amazing experience. I arrived in London on Thursday evening with a plan on how to reach the festival fields but without having booked anything. BIG MISTAKE. I knew it was going to be an adventure getting there given my late arrival into Heathrow. Unfortunately, the coaches…

Help wanted… Choosing bands for Glastonbury
How could one possibly choose between all these bands in the concurrent stages? If you have any recommendations from the line up, I’d love to hear it (either a comment or drop me a line). I am going into “digital silence” from Thursday evening (UK time). Glastonbury 2009 lineup.

48h film project – Filming on location
The shooting of our 48h film project entry was amazing (check out my previous post). On Friday, David (the director) and Arthur (the script writer) met with the rest of the teams to find out (through a draw) the genre of the film that we had to shoot plus the name of a character, a…

At the Semantic Technologies conference
I just arrived in San Jose for the Semantic Technologies conference. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a conference on a subject that I am VERY excited about so I do hope that the program is interesting. I am going to be at the Microsoft booth as well to demo Zentity and talk…

The 48 hour film project
My friend David is very much into film directing. While he was taking classes, he asked me to act in his film projects with his wife Sophie in the first one and other friends in the second one. It was a looooooot of fun and we even shot the “making of” :-))) Last year, David…
