Hey, it's Twitter again!

follow julien at http://twitter.com Nice, this is so cool. The Twitter guys sent me an email telling me there was an alternate number I could use to get their system to work Anyway, so it works now! I think there’s a way to follow up by RSS, let me check…

Chilling with Anji

Hey, I hadn’t blogged it yet, but Anji and I talked a little bit ago for a show we put on Sirius. The recording ended up being over an hour, and that’s what I put online. So, you know, be prepared for a hella long recording. :) Here’s the transcript, in case you guys are [...]

Leaving Banff

Today is our last full day at the Banff Cross Platform Mentorship Lab. Our presentation went over really well earlier- last night, we decided to scrap the way we were selling the idea, starting over entirely about 12 hours before needing to present it. This change and the presentation was really well received, and we [...]

Traveling to Banff

Currently in-flight, heading straight to Banff from Montréal. The next four days will be spent at the Interactive Project Lab representing HAL, and talking with other participants from all around the country about new media projects they are involved in. Exciting possibilities. Although I don’t know a hell of a lot about this place, the [...]

Comment line (again)

Chris Brogan, whom I’m pretty sure I would marry if I were a woman, called me on my mobile phone this morning *freaking*out* about my last show (in a good way). Following this, he insisted I get a comment line, so now, I have one (again). Call me! (206) 338-5505 Use it whenever you want [...]

Why are A-list bloggers boring?

(And I’m not being facetious here.) Here is a list of some A-list bloggers I read and enjoy: Smart Mobs (because of flashmob and mobile stuff), Dave Winer (yeah yeah, laugh it up), Seth Godin (marketing, branding, etc.), and Scobleizer (no idea why, really – but at least he admits it). There are others I [...]

So why do I care about Twitter?

Update: I don’t care about Twitter, but it’s not their fault – my Fido phone is too incompetent to send a text message to the necessary short code 40404. Somehow this Canadian user can (Rogers/Telus/Bell?) but I can’t. Fido, you are backwards. ////////// I try to be ahead of the game with pretty much everything [...]

Julien, Véro, et HAL

Je travaille depuis quelque temps sur HAL (Hub d’Artistes Locaux), un projet où nous rassemblons la communauté d’artistes locaux avec les usagers d’internet sans-fil Montréalais. Le vidéo ci-dessous est une introduction au projet, monté par Véro B, une vidéobloggeure locale très talentueuse. Si vous êtes nouveau visiteur, bienvenue à mon blogue! Vous y retrouverez régulièrement [...]

Test post!

I’m testing the new 0.7 version of Flock, which has all this great Flickr, del.icio.us, and blogging functionality. It may actually become my browser of choice… that is, if I ever figure out how to save my tabs. Update: Found a plugin! Blogged with Flock

Go Worship the Narcicyst

Take a couple of seconds and go chill out at the Narcicyst’s new website, Iraq Is The Bomb. If you liked some of the tracks of his I’ve played on the podcast (Commodore 64 comes to mind), this is the place to grab them. Dude’s on his way up.

WordPress and my .htaccess file

I need some serious help from someone with some technical knowledge. WordPress 2.0.3 (at least I assume it’s WordPress) seems to be regularly rewriting my .htaccess file. I do not want it to do this – I have custom stuff in there, and it has overwritten it numerous times. My question is why. Or at [...]

HAL accepted for the Cross Platform Mentorship Lab

So the HAL project I spoke about a few entries ago has been selected to attend the Banff Centre’s Cross Platform Mentorship Lab. 10 projects (2 people per project) are being flown down to be coached by a group of media and technology experts from October 26-30. Pascal and I will be attending it, which [...]

I play the best hip hop track ever

How to subscribe. Damn, I’m not sure how I should title this episode… possibly one of the best hip hop tracks of all time, and say some fairly offensive shit and don’t edit it out. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Masta Killa – ‘No Said Date’ Eternia – ‘Family’ Deltron – ’3030′

Go Worship Howard

Ok, I’ve got a podcast coming out with this guy’s music, but I seriously couldn’t wait to get you guys in touch with Howard Lloyd, the Brooklyn emcee who just sent me his Quickie EP. Go check out his site and download the stuff there – and I’ve got a new track from him which [...]

Chrome Swimming

These videos from the Chrome Children + Adult Swim collabo are going to be the hottest ever. The animation is incredible and innovative, and the music (first one by J Dilla, RIP) is the bomb. Click the screencaps to check it out. Grab the music for Chrome Children on eMusic here.

Stories and music from the homeless

Please take a second to go check out Homeless Nation’s podcasts. My friend Brett basically gives all these kids access to equipment and gets them to record their stories. It’s absolutely amazing. (If you’re looking for somewhere to start, try this one… one of many great recordings.)

Getting into MP3 blogging

I’m not really an MP3 blogger, but in the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about becoming one. The reasoning is pretty simple: in two years of podcasting you end up having a decent number of people figure out who you are, and that they want to hit your audience. Sometimes what I get offered [...]

PodCamp Toronto!

Due to the efforts of Jay Moonah, one of the organizers, PodCamp Toronto is set to be hosted at Ryerson University’s School for Radio and Television Arts. PodCamp Toronto will be happening on February 24th and 25th. We’ll definitely have some people coming in from Montreal, so if you’re from here and you’re looking for [...]

Don't let the (white) man get you down

Stephen Levitt of Freakanomics talks today about the difference in viewing habits between blacks and whites in modern day America. There is some subtext in the entry that needs to be discussed: If this one week of data is a good indicator (and I think it is), there has been a remarkable convergence in television [...]

From the airport

Currently in Chicago’s O’Hare airport, waiting for a connecting flight to Montreal. I didn’t sleep at all last night, since I was waiting for a shuttle in Ontario, California which would bring me to LAX for a flight at 8:55 am. Thankfully I slept the whole plane ride. I feel much better now – Starbucks, [...]
