LibraryThing is witty

By 1 Comment


I’ve fallen in love with LibraryThing, a social website where you can indicate what books you have and you get recommendations based on some subtle correlation algorithm.

While browsing there today, I got that recommendation:

Envisioning information by Edward R. Tufte
693 copies. Average rating 4.32.
Why? Well, I’m not sure right now. How about “Just because”?

Beautiful :-)

(In fact, Envisioning information is a book that I wanted to buy for a long time. I even have it in my Amazon Wishlist so the recommendation algorithm seems to work well enough)

So Logical on Odeo

By 4 Comments

My music is not on Odeo anymore. You’ll them everything on Last.fm now. Please update your bookmarks :-)

I released my “So Logical” album around 2004 and quickly uploaded the tracks to my website. For the first few days, some friends, relatives and students downloaded the tracks but, very quickly, the frequency of downloads decreased.

I’ve now moved the album to Odeo which is a kind of YouTube for audio.

Incidentally, one of the goodies provided by Odeo is a customisable Flash MP3 player that you can see on the right. Feel free to toy around…

Here is a track listing:

  • Zygma
  • The myst
  • Feel free
  • Helium
  • Seduction (Millenium Mix)
  • This is real
  • Play
  • Beautiful sea
  • The end of time

I hope this will give “So Logical” a second lease of life :-)

The Web 2.0 Family

By 9 Comments

The Web 2.0 revolution is on. Blogs are everywhere.

I am happy to tell you that all members of the Meetoo family now have their own blog:

You will notice that the kids have their weblog on wordpress.com. In fact, in some days, Christina will move her own blog there. (Done!) Perhaps, I’ll do the same thing in the coming months

Incidentally, I suppose you know my profile is on LinkedIn, my photos are on Flickr, my books are on LibraryThing, my bookmarks are on del.icio.us, my music compositions are on Last.fm as well as the music I listen to…

The world is changing fast. Either you adapt or you disappear!
