meet the podcasters

funny enough, but only a portion of the people that showed up last night at la cabane were actually podcasters. it included a bunch of new cats i hadn’t met yet, including zeke of zeke’s gallery, but also loads of listeners and bloggers. this was pretty weird to me; normally, bloggers are like ‘meh’ to [...]

buck 65 is damn good

one of the greatest songs in my library right now is Buck 65′s Cries a Girl, which i heard him perform live about a year ago. right now is one of those moments where i’m really feeling the barriers at the edge of podsafe. it’s really unfortunate. go check out that track though. (iTunes)

expozine 2005, etc.

my roommates and i just came back from the montreal expozine, a small press event where indie kids gather in order to see and be seen. this year’s event was far larger than last year’s, in which i participated, not to mention better heated. i saw the regular cats there, as well as my roommate’s [...]

learning portuguese for capoeira, a brief primer

for those interested, i thought i might write a brief primer of my experiences learning brazilian portuguese for the purpose of immersing myself in the culture of capoeira. i suppose these tips could work for the acquisition of any language, although i suspect it may be more appropriate for romance languages, or at least, those [...]

new powerbook

so i’m writing this post from a new powerbook i’ve just received in the mail. it’s the previous version (not the one with the enhanced screen resolution), so i got a pretty good deal on the price. very happy with everything so far, although i’m just testing it out. i’m bringing it home shortly to [...]

paul ford on distractions

(from 43 folders) paul ford waxes philosophical on the nature of distraction in the age of the web. particularly of note, this juicy morsel: This is not to condemn blogs. They are often great. But there are so many of them, and I will be dead for a long, long time.

polyphasic sleep, epilepsy, and health

all my friends must be starting to think that i’m crazy over sending them so many steve pavlina links recently. i’ve always been interested in self-development, and i read a lot of books of that nature, so naturally i love free content that appeals to my sense of self-actualization. most recently, i’ve been particularly interested [...]

starting over

well, i haven’t written anything about capoeira in a while. i’ve really been focusing on other goals for this blog in the past while, like promoting my podcast, but i would like to get back to writing every little while about this subject, which has continued to fascinate me ever since i discovered it at [...]

interviews, etc.

today i went to yulblog after having a wonderful interview with the francophone newspaper la presse in the afternoon. both events went spectacularly well. the interview included m-c and andre, two great podcasters who it was really great to chat with, and matt, a listener to my (our?) shows who was really cool as well.
