[fr] Déjà entendu parler du terme 350ppm? Voilà, c’est simple ppm signifie « part par million ». 350 parts de Co2 par million dans l’atmosphère. 350 est l’objectif, car actuellement nous sommes déjà à 387. Donc trop, mais ça nous le savons déjà…

[eng] Ever heard about 350ppm? It’s simple, it means “350 parts per million”. 350 parts of Co2, it’s the goal. Now we’re already at 387, we just need to go back down. Ain’t that easy?

En faisant, un petit runnnig ce weekend, je réfléchissais à la formation de concepteur multimédia que j’avais effectuée. Etait-ce vraiment une bonne idée, qu’en avais-je retiré, et surtout, le « grand public » comprenait-il vraiment ce terme? Et BANG, lundi matin, je vois un Tweet de Xavier pointant sur un article pile sur ce sujet. Il était temps d’écrire un post.

Bon, profitons de l’après-midi le plus chaud de l’année pour rédiger un petit post sur les coins les plus cool pour chiller en travaillant (ou alors c’est travailler en chillant?). Appelons ça le chill-working, travailler sans en avoir l’impression. J’adore travailler dans les trains et dans les cafés, ces endroits m’inspirent. Pourquoi? Je sais pas vraiment, mais bizarement, j’arrive mieux à m’y concentrer. Voici une petite liste de mes spots préférés que j’apprécie fréquenter.

Anonymous Postcards – Free Idea #1


August 19th, 2009

[FR] The concept: L’idée est de permettre à des gens de recevoir des cartes postales de la part d’inconnus. Lorsque tu es en vacances, dans ta ville ou dans un lieu divers,  tu prends simplement une carte et tu l’envoie à quelqu’un que tu ne connais pas. En faisant ceci tu t’assure de recevoir une carte à ton tour. C’est fun et ça sert à rien.

[ENG] The concept: You register on the website, and then you receive anonymous postacards from the community. It’s totally free, fun and… useless. Once registered you receive your first user address whom you’ll have to send a postcard to. Whenever you sent it, whatever you write on it. It’s up to you. Just make it fun. It’s the anonymous postcard community!

Did you never have a revolutionary/lame idea? Having this sensation of owning a mind-blowing/pointless concept? Something that maybe would not change the world, but which could at least make it move a little bit? An organic bamboo laptop cover which would generate energy by photosynthesis for instance? A website where you could exchange your ipod and it’s playlist with some random stranger? A T-shirt switching party from which you couldn’t get back home with the same clothes?

C’mon! I couldn’t resist to show you once more Michel’s work. I already did it on my old blog, but his pieces of art are just crazy. It can be disturbing with all these drugs, sex and choped up arms’n'heads’n'legs. But then, you see the jokes about “les vaudois”, the funny cartoon characters and you understand that this guy isn’t as F*** up as his painting.
