As a follow up to our discussion in the 24 hour Pomcast (in french), I just stumbled upon this :

Writing vs. Typing: “I’ve been doing a lot of program/api design work lately in my favorite medium, a blue col-erase pencil + paper. Usually I use tiny ruled graph paper, but I’ve run out of it and there are all these empty sketchbooks laying around… So anyway, I’ve noticed that I’m way faster at typing than I ever was at writing. Which annoyed me at first but then I realized that this slowdown actually gave me a little bit more time to think before commiting my thoughts down. My thoughts always change when I’m writing, but now they get more time to change and maybe become clearer. Maybe? Possibly? It’s a good thing, right? +1 for traditional media?”

[lang_fr]àŠtre père ne veux pas forcément dire être beaucoup plus intelligent… Regardez-moi cette vidéo… Je suis subjugué par mes capacités vocales :)[/lang_fr][lang_en]Being a father does not mean being smarter… Check this out ;) I’m impressed by my vocals capacities…[/lang_en]

[lang_en]This morning I received an e-mail from a listener telling me he bought a DELL 2407WFP via my last post about it… I checked, and, yes, indeed, when he bought this around 1000 eur brilliant screen, I received around 50 eur commission…

Dell is twice as generous as Apple, in terms of commissions… So go ahead, buy some Dell… screens ;)[/lang_en][lang_fr]Ce matin j’ai reçu un email d’un poditeur qui me disait avoir acheté un DELL 2407WFP en passant par le lien sur mon dernier post en parlant… Je vérifie, et, en effet, lorsqu’il a acheté ce moniteur d’environ 1000 eur j’ai touché près de 50 eur de commission…

Dell est 2 fois plus généreux que Apple en terme de commissions… Donc allez-y, achetez du Dell… Enfin, des moniteurs…[/lang_fr][lang_de]Heute morgen habe ich eine Email von einem Hörer gekriegt, wo er sagte, er hat sich einen DELL 2407WFP gekauft, durch meinen Link in meinem letzen Post darüber. Ich gucke, und ja, tatsachlich, für einen ca. 1000 eur Bildschirm, habe ich fast 50 eur Provision gekriegt !

Dell ist also doppelt so nett mit mir, wenn es um Provision geht… Also, los, kauft Dell… Bildschirme ;)[/lang_de]

After having visited many shops, I realize that not a lot of people have heard of Nike+ !!! They don’t have Internet or what ??? The question remains: Where am I gonna find Nike+ compatible shoes ? If anybody has an idea…

I could ask a friend in the US to send it, but the idea of buying shoes without testing them is not pleasant… So, where can I find it ? Please help me !

Runat.co.jp announces (in Japanese) the launch of a Mickey Mouse iPod. Some may smile remembering jokes about the “Mac Minnie” when the news that Disney was buying Pixar came out, and some may worry that soon many others Apple products will find themselves Disneyized.

There is no need to worry. Apple has produced in the past other limited edition iPods, like the Harry Potter (a Warner property) one. These co-branding seem logical considering the pop culture icon status the iPod has gained, and are proof if one was ever needed that it is recognised as it by media moguls (on the other hand, Creative had an exclusive partnership with the French version of American Idol last year). In fact, the look of this Mickey kit feel more cartoon Mickey than Mickey Mouse Club Mickey. Though Disney has already put a feet in the consumer electronics market with television sets decorated with familiar characters, there is no reason for them to go further in the direction of computing. The Mighty Mouse can rest in peace.

I would like to talk about my disapointment against mac-related websites

Especialy appleinsider wich since a few days is totally crazy about the new Macbook wich will be avalaible tuesday, then wednesday, then finally next tuesday then NO !!!, before the end of this month in tandem with a change in the iPod Line.

So ! They didn’t know anything about it, and we are spending a lot of time looking to the official Apple US website all day long !

So, I decided to give you my rumour about Apple, and you’ll see it will happen, you won’t believe it :

In the next days and before 10 years, the iBook will be replaced. Isn’t it nice. So now go on and trust me, I will be right.

Well, that’s not so bad, because as I was looking on Apple’s site I discovered their new add on the homepage wich is phenomenal.

Check this out !

[lang_fr]Ceci est un appel aux Web Radios… Celles ci existaient avant le podcast (et moi même je faisant de la radio, puis de la web radio avant le podcast) et je me dis qu’on pourrait combiner les 2 pour “Pom”. Si vous êtes prêt à  nous diffuser, faites le nous savoir ![/lang_fr][lang_en]This is a call to the Web Radios… They existed before podcasts (and I did radio and later web radio before podcasting) and I tought it could be a good Idea to combine both for “Pom”.
