I only stumbled across this last night in the app-store and had very little expectations. But Radium, made by CatPig Studios, who’s interface is not much more than what you get from Spotlight, may well be the app that brings internet radio back into my office and living-room. This is how it works. Radium is [...]
Hey guys, Vincent here. Over the last few days, I’ve been enjoying the SXSW 2008 line-up of music—an annual tradition, where they release a torrent of free and legal (with some restrictions, I’m sure) independent music every year. It’s a sure way to discover bands that will make it big in a few months to [...]
In response to Ouriel who claims he found the best jazz piano – voice extract ever, here’s Tuck & Patti (I saw them live in Paris @ Vincennes floral park in 2006, and they’re just amazing) performing a jazzy medley of bluesy Jimmy Hendrix’s Castle Made of Sand and Little Wing. This is probably the [...]
Gosh, that girl is serious about dancing. PS: yes, I know, another post tightly linked with technology. You know, I could have elaborated on buzz marketing or video on demand. You’re lucky. Like Unlike
Here’s a selection of videos about SaaS, or software as a service (aka software on demand) – a new way for individuals and corporations to ‘consume’ software, whether it’s Web 2.0 Internet software or traditional software. First an overview of what SaaS is: Jim Steele of Salesforce and Marc Lautenbach of IBM @ a conference [...]
It’s been love at the first sight ever since I listened to Canadian jazz artist Diana Krall for the very first time (in 1996) – not to mention the 2 times I went to her concerts in Paris. Many people criticize Diana for having gotten too commercial throughout the process of becoming a star, I [...]
Those who know me well are well aware that I like counting a number of things during the day (eg trying to guess the revenues of a restaurant figuring out how many rotations happen in an hour at what average check, that’s what I’m best at; or guessing car manufacturers market shares when visiting another [...]
5 reasons I like my iPod: It’s small and hence handy (real size here on the picture). Still, buttons are of reasonable size so that it’s not hard at all to switch track whilst running. The autonomy’s pretty excellent (about 12 hours listening to music). It’s water resistant (let’s put it that way). The clip [...]
Obviously the anthem of this blog (images: Final Fantasy VIII). Mika has a vocal range of 5 octaves…When he discovered this very blog, he felt we needed an anthem and..there we go Like Unlike
Back to serious blogging at last! A very cool announcement very soon by the way. Art Tatum, 1940s, by far the best pianist of all times according to..me Duke Ellington and his band playing Caravan, New Orleans style jazz music with Big Apple Harlem style solos Miles Davis & John Coltrane, featuring Gil Evans amongst [...]
Blogging is about sharing. I spend, nope, invest time blogging everyday. Which means I try more or less every single day (& not always achieve, I acknowledge this) to come up with an interesting analysis or something to say that I believe is somewhat original. And when I don’t have the time or will to [...]
I owe a lot to the song entitled ‘Do the Devil’ by East Coast band The Amazing Royal Crown. I used to wake up listening to ‘Do the Devil’ during HEC competitive exams back in Spring 2003, and trust me this energizing music accounts for 95% of me succeeding: I was arriving at the exam [...]
- I had purchased my tickets for quite a while, and what do I see on Ouriel Ohayon’s blog? “Don’t miss Yaron Herman’s concert…”. Ouriel’s blog was one of the first I started to read, back in end of June 2005 when I arrived in Israel. I was happy to read about someone who with [...]
