The Men With Pearls

During the last six month I dedicated a lot of time to the web and especially to pearltrees; the kingdom of maps and pearls. This was a fruitful experience. I am glad I had the chance to discover so much about the internet and startups while being so young and careless.
As I am going to be on holidays during the next months I guess this blog will slowly fade away. Still, I’ll try to post from time to time about my musical discoveries and incredible experiences about life ^^.
I wish you all a great summer and hope that 2009 will be the year of the pearls.
Here are the blogs of Pearltrees’ team. Take some time to check, they are all very rich and different.
First, Cratyle is one of the main reference concerning internet thinking.
Stetoscope covers quite a vast range of subject, but it excels at marketing issues and web innovation theories.
Wallen’s is utterly dedicated to the mysterious realm of finance.
All about Web delivers a lot of useful geeky tips and web advices.
This blog is reserved to a web elite, to those who speak HTML and other strange languages. Still it displays valuable information about programming updates.
Eventually, this new fresh blog will please all the Sci-Fi fans (in all areas, from books to video games).
Enjoy!
A treasure…
Lee Rogers
I saw him singing the blues in a pub in Belfast and it was an astonishing experience! This guy should have been on a stage in front of thousands of people, not in front of me! A deep broken manly voice, a genuine charisma and particular guitar skills. What could you ask more? Oh, I know… A few beers and three incredibly talented musicians playing in harmony around him!

Leave us alone!
Do not eat junk food. Avoid aliments with too much fat, sugar or salt. Have regular exercices and sports. Do not smoke. Do not drink too much. Put your seatbelt on. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Do not procrastinate your work. Do not listen to music too loudly…
What is that? Did we all become so stupid that we need someone to remind us how to live healthily? I thank my parents for teaching me those things, but who the hell decided I needed to hear that crap everyday (radio, tv, adds in the streets)? The state will always find a way to justify this very paternalist behaviour (medicine costs, work productivity, happiness pursuit). But is it genuinely its job?
Most of all, is it an efficient tactic? Do you know anyone that lives like this? Honestly I hope not! First because it would be boring as hell, but also because it would not be a very human attitude. I do not want to be perfect. I do not want to spend my life saving it for later. Seriously, how ironic would that be to get hit by a truck after years of extremely restrictive healthy habits? I think we globally know what is right for us, and why we do not do it. Watch out, helping people to live in a “right way” is a hazardous business and giving advices is also a delicate matter.
I do not think that this crap is going to help anyone. It can only make us feel guilty about our unability to reach absurd perfect standards. Let me be the only judge of what is good to me.
ENJOY!
