MY TWEETS
Great news! @SoundCloud has switched from #Flash to #HTML5. Works good so far. I like how the playhead div changes #CSS width in real time.
I remember my life before the #painkillers and the #Internet.
#Kodak – bankrupt… I’ve always preferred Kodak’s #photography film except for high-ISO (Fuji was better). Sentimental but without regrets.
I love how #AutoCAD allows me to set the units to parsecs!
My ideal #writing environment: great view, big #Apple screen, web connection and silence, total silence. No phone, no e-mail, no people.
Celebrating 15 years of professional published #photography ( http://t.co/ctzKRkMW ). Thank you my dear clients and friends!
#Apple’s App Store has been illegally avoiding #EU #VAT laws for years now! Their service department says they sell #B2C only… #LogicPro?
#Tarkovsky moved away from #cinema to #theater with epic-poetic decorations. The Sacrifice is a real-time play with meticulous choreography.
For air #travel, beware that @SeatGuru charts are more accurate than those provided by airlines’ official web sites.
Weird. @Inov8run Bare-X 180 is half-size shorter than BareGrip 200 / Road-X Lite 155. Reordered larger size. Good winter road #running shoe.
Stunningly precise real-time flight tracking of ADS-B equipped #aircraft in Europe: http://t.co/qYmpIpFQ (via @Traverson)
I wish @FedEx and @UPS had real-time location / schedule for “on vehicle for delivery” part. The truck disappears from tracking for 14 hours
Wow, #barefoot #running covered by the mainstream press? @NYtimes article: http://t.co/H8VTxQni
@antoinegrillon BCN only in winter, you know you would have an edge otherwise! GVA or Paris anytime we’re both there. Which is the culprit.
@antoinegrillon Facts only, man. We’ll race to test it out. I’m ready to loose :-). Urban only, of course. 5 - 10 kms. Day end traffic jams.
@antoinegrillon OK, next time we’ll race to find out if your method is as fast and on-time as mine :-).
A folding #Brompton #bike: I have yet to find a more fun way to arrive at a business meeting on time.
Excellent @NYtimes infographic of the #US 14,3 trillion-dollar #debt: where it’s from and who’s lending the #money: http://t.co/YSCW2PVy
Yay! 2:03:38!
I told my neighbor that dogs wear no shoes and #run fine. Are humans worse than dogs? Why not run #barefoot? He joked dogs live only 10 yrs.
One of the most accurate and honest articles on the #VC (venture capital) situation in #Europe today: http://t.co/1VIkDXV by @fDestin
In my opinion, @Inov8run BareGrip 200 is currently the best shoe for trail #running and landscape #photography. Choose half UK size smaller.
“If you do what you love, the #money may or may not follow, but you’ll love what you do” – @TonySchwartz
I’m awed by the #PHP and #HTML messiness of #MediaWiki! Code reads like a bunch of non-MVC hacks… that powers the world’s largest wiki. Hmm.
@OneEyeland / Sharad HAKSAR! Stop spamming me! No auto unsubscribe and 2 of my direct e-mail requests to you were ignored! #Unprofessional!
And 2010 carbon emissions increased to a historical high leaving us little hope to avoid severe #climate_change : http://t.co/sAa5sJU
We’ve eaten almost all the fish in the Atlantic ocean: [ link ]
How did #Buddhism come so close to getting the #brain right? http://t.co/u1hZnHR (via @the99percent)
Der Räuber: an excellent #film about the meaning of life, social norms, #boredom, #Austria’s lost sparkle and #running.
After a period of #memory retrieval remembered how to swing on a swing. Confirmed my #childhood hunch that flying #aerobatics is way cooler.
Proved experimentally: @Inov8run US to UK size chart [ link ] works great to convert from @AsicsAmerica and @BrooksRunning sizes.
“We don’t know anything about what was before [the Big Bang]. If there was a before.” – excellent #LHC #physics article: [ link ]
@icebreakernz Thanks, but I don’t see how you could help? Change the cut – a radical solution? We might discuss it in Friedrichshafen.
Really disappointed by the fit of @IceBreakerNZ Tech T Lite in merino #wool. The sleeves are too short and the waist is too long. Unusable.
“I find the liveable cities lists intellectually on a par with People magazine’s ‘sexiest people’ lists.” – Joel GARREAU

Weird. Exact same movie files play darker in #VLC than in #QuickTime on #Mac OS 10.6.7 with #ICC profiled screen. Any explanations?
Why #Facebook dislikes paragraphs? Prefers 1-block “hit enter to post” comments? Avoids elaborate conversations? Are Facebook messages next?
Endless triviality. Wave after wave of #mundanity. An ocean of #futility.
#Paris streets aren’t optimized for anyone. Pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, buses, taxies, cars and trucks… we all suffer from bad #design.
“Safe #nuclear does exist, and #China is leading the way with #thorium” - a short article by the @Telegraph: [ link ]
Morning: my #Brompton seat post rips out pedal cadence magnet. Evening: I discover magnet burst-on-demand #lingerie [ link ]
Shooting #photography is like doing #TaiChi in a room full of furniture with eyes closed. Trust your skills & feelings… hope for the best.
While #running today in #barefoot @InvisibleShoes sandals in #Paris, someone asked me if it was a new concept. Yes, only 10 000 years old…
„Als das Kind Kind war, hatte es von nichts eine Meinung, hatte keine Gewohnheit und machte kein Gesicht beim #fotografieren“ – Peter HANDKE
To me, pillars of #Swiss #culture have been blasted to lowest global denominator: cleanliness, punctuality, banks and polite driving. Gone.
Awesome deep #techno mix set by Danny Barbour: [ link ]
Cool! Folding #Bike Friday Tikit available this spring with Gates carbon belt drive and #Shimano Alfine 11 or Nexus 8.
@AdrienneM1971 I’d disagree. The slow carb #diet is only a part of the #4hb, and for a French, Tim’s approach to food is hair-raising ;-).
Finished 4-Hour Body #4hb by @TFerriss. A rather disappointing mix of tricks. Uneven depth. Emphasis on #work & calculus over fun & #play.
What are my social #obligations?
Signs of #professionalism in #art and #design: 5) sharing best practices, #processes and #pricing with competition to improve the industry.
Why name the color of unpainted steel (Fe+X), aluminum (Al) or titanium (Ti) items as “silver” (Ag) in #marketing talk?
Cascade Designs will sell a warmer Therm-a-Rest NeoAir in July 2011. Size regular: 51x183cm, 540g, R-value 4.9 (not as warm as Exped mats).
“Many of the people who deny #climate_change suffer from an inability to imagine that the world will go on without them.” – @aWorkingLibrary
Should I give up #hope that #Apple will fix Finder lack of spatial orientation in #Mac OS X? We’re nearing 10.7 and still no OS 9 metaphors.
@akuvaramaki and @tonisep – thanks for linking to my lightweight self-supported folding #bike touring gear list: [ link ]!
What?! No decent #ePUB desktop #e-books reader for #Mac OS X? #Adobe Digital Editions and Stanza are a joke!
Signs of #professionalism in #art and #design: 4) constant extraction and reuse of client’s knowledge of their industry for project #success
As a #photographer, I wonder why so many women pluck their #eyebrows incorrectly? Lack of #drawing skills? Undeveloped sense of #aesthetics?
If you’re a #creative looking for #work / #health / socializing balance, remember that equilibrium seldom leads to change and #creativity.
Signs of #professionalism in #art and #design: 3) a habit to quickly admit and apologize for mistakes, errors, delays and misunderstandings
I’m surprised and saddened by #Yahoo decision to kill #Delicious. Fortunately, I’ve chosen offline instead of cloud storage a long time ago.
Signs of #professionalism in #art and #design: 2) ability to explain your choices to a client without any background in art and design.
Can’t wait for #IMAP support of #Facebook messages. Finally, all my e-mail in the cloud _and_ on my devices for backup and history.
“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away” – D VISCOTT
You know, sometimes I just want to ride my #bike without being part of this #war for road space… with my hands off the brakes.
Can good taste in #art, #design or #music be learnt without #talent and innate sensitivity?
The human #mind struggles to understand and accept extremes: the #infinity of cosmos or the #finity of life.
As an #artist, be an optimist (some will like your #art), a pessimist (some will hate it), and a realist (some will ignore it).
Signs of #professionalism in #art and #design: 1) ability to create on demand, regardless of your mood or #inspiration status.
If you’re everywhere, you’re nowhere!
#Life should be long and complex. #Death should be quick and easy.
Unvisualisable. Such a terrible word for a visual #artist!
Why focus on 3 speed internal gear hubs’ mechanical efficiency and leave out cadence efficiency? A #bike is to move faster with less effort.
I’m puzzled by the simplicity of dreams in the #Inception movie. In my standard #dreams I survive shots, go through walls and fly around…
Sadly, the next generation of #Apple notebooks limits storage, lacks Firewire, forgets RJ45, looses keyboard backlight and requires a loupe.
@LMGM The fear of trees falling under heavy wind. The scary upper sections bending towards the windows. 7-floor trees. Now on the floor.
The sound of leaves in the wind is gone. The tall trees in front of my homes cut down. In #Moscow. And now in #Geneva. The silence of #fear.
BWV 596a Concerto d-moll (nach Vivaldi)
Perhaps never believing in anything is better than losing #faith one day.
“Let’s have a moment of silence for all those stuck in #traffic on their way to the #gym to ride the stationary #bike.” – Earl BLUMENAUER
Growing up in #USSR I hoped “#USA = aggressor” was #propaganda: Cuba, Iran, Guatemala, Vietnam, Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq…

My #Facebook friends? People I’ve met in my life. So for new “friend” requests, I ask to explain why we should meet. A wish totally ignored!

“#Civilization is reviving itself into a pathologically short #attention span.” – Stewart BRAND. Resist! Stay focused, longer.
Only 3 countries in the world still haven’t converted to the metric system: Burma, Liberia, and… the #USA. What a shame!
Sad news. Nassim TALEB has deleted his #Twitter account. Another victim of #technology mishandling. Know your tool or the tool will maim you

Most effective #immigration control: employer incentives and sanctions. A lot easier to enforce. Why are countries focusing on individuals?
#Taiwan’s #bike parts manufacturer Sturmey Archer pads items inside parcels with shredders’ paper. Ingenious #reuse #recycle in #shipping!
I’ve been #walking & #running in #barefoot @InvisibleShoes huarache sandals for 5 months. Better fit & feel than #FiveFingers. Recommended!
I’ve spent the day walking the vines of Lavaux, #Switzerland, smelling the roses and tasting the grapes. I only wish #photo gear was lighter
An #actor’s #job to simulate a soldier / pilot / surgeon / lawyer is fun, but never actually working at any of these jobs for real is sad.
Cyclist #abuse. Van driver fails to yield at stop sign, squeezes the #bike several times, yells, throws a bottle at him: [ link ]
@naturalfeet Yes, you definitely have a job now, an honest job: converting & teaching the West to #walk & #run #barefoot! Raise fees ;-)
@naturalfeet Ah, sarcarsm ;-) You may wish to put it in quotes the next time. Otherwise, really bad podiatrists, scary more than crazy, IMO.
@naturalfeet Agree on brainwashing. Why do you say evolution made a mistake with Western feet? Homo sapiens haven’t evolved since 50 kya.
@naturalfeet Are you kidding?! Of course “Western” humans can #walk and #run without support, #barefoot! They just don’t want to.
Excellent cartoon questioning #Facebook plan to run it’s new #Oregon datacenter on #coal generated #electricity: [ link ]
Still can’t digest the fact that the #iPhone 4G remains 32 Gb max. Where’s the 64 Gb?! My hopes crushed. A ridiculous block in my #workflow.
16 minutes #documentary about the pros, the cons, the testimonials and the numbers of #commuting by #bike in the #USA: [ link ]
Nice deep and minimal #music and interior #design at SihlCity International Radio Festival DeepMix.ru session in #Zurich
Astonishment Inducer™ - lovely #brand name!
Avoid nice #Campagnolo 10 spd #bike chains for touring. Impossible to repair or replace using lightweight tools like Park Tool CT-5.
I think using sensationalist / overgeneralized titles to attract readers is unprofessional. Sad to see @Wired do that: [ link ]
@nntaleb Lumping #photography, #film and #literature in the same category is a matter of rhetorical convenience. An artificial construct.
@nntaleb By volume, #film is mostly a form of entertainment. But a tiny part is indeed a form of #art (cinéma d’auteur).
Annoyed by the rattle of keys and cash when #running? Ultralight solution: wrap it in thin, crumpled plastic (supermarket bags, packaging…)
I’m looking for a #TaiChi mentor in #HongKong, #Paris or #Geneva. Relaxation & defense. Details: [ link ] Please help, RT.
“When you are young, you have more time than money. As you get older, you have more money than time.” – Chris ANDERSON @chr1sa
First crash on my 1,5 year old #Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro! Reason: watching a #Boeing 777 take off while riding. #Nalgene ATB destroyed.
Think cheap #oil is infinite? Or, maybe, the market and technology will solve any problems? Then read [ link ] . With nice charts.
The labor turnover in the #outdoor & #bike industries is staggering. Teams change so much, so often! Constant #job dissatisfaction? Other?
First #bike #ride since my #appendicitis / #peritonitis. Feels weird to have been off the bike for so long… Feels awkward, feels good.
“I think an #artist is always tormented. Show me an artist who isn’t?” – Layla Alexander GARRETT

@RitcheyIntl Head to Friedrichshafen zentrum, the harbor. Plenty of beer and wine. I recommend Stadtmauer (Seestrasse 14) for food & drink.
I’m still blue in green. But I can’t grieve, unless I’ve seen.
From the inside, being a purpose #workaholic seems OK. It seems horrifying from the outside. Just seen Heat. A #movie about 2 workaholics.
“#Sustainability is often misunderstood as the neo-protestant notion that it has to hurt in order to do good.” – Bjarke INGELS #architecture
People tend to interpret my smiles as smirks while I’m not expressing scorn. Rather “you bet!” Should I do mirror work? Other suggestions?

Good. My #surgeon has authorized #running after my #appendicitis / #peritonitis. Even weight training! But no #bike riding for a month. Bad.
Most important factor when choosing between #Shimano and #Campagnolo road #bike components: brifter #ergonomics that match your hands.

Thought experiment: imagine you’re the only human on #Earth. Unlimited #food, #transport, #protection. Would you feel at #home anywhere?
Disappointing. The automatic switch-on mode of Busch & Müller IX-RED Senso rear #bike light thinks a shadowed forest road isn’t dark enough.

#G20. Only 2 days to decide the #future of the world #finance at 0,6 bnCAD per day. Ridiculous! #Videoconferencing and serious work, anyone?
I thought it was a distance #runner problem only. Wrong. Today’s 83K #bike #ride under the sun has grinded my nipple in the same sweaty way.
Ouch! #iOS4 is out but it seems developers have been running late. @Skype, @DataVizInc, @Facebook… What happens when #iPhone 4 hits retail?

Dear #Americans, “wake up!” “#Oil is a finite resource.” Even your #president says so. Rethink your own actions. Not a “time to die” yet.
By design, a tiny rubber bump on the #Campagnolo Ergo brake lever should block noise. But it now blocks upshifting on my #Bike Friday PRP!
Financial markets’ #deregulation allows big #money from the air. Speculators have 0 interest to agree to worldwide #regulation. Get real.

I keep biting the inside of my cheeks every time I drift away in complex thoughts, forgetting the #food I’m eating. Focus, #focus, focus!
@Lighthiker What’re doing in #Moscow, one of my home towns?! Baltika is the classic Russian #beer.

50% of the Nokon casing I’ve bought has scratches. Brand new. Off the factory. But it does improve #Bike Friday’s tortuous cable routing.
Awesome #video #journalism about #cycling grass-roots initiative in US [ link ] Still a few people out there with the right ideas.
The Rough Guides remain #paper only. No #e-books. Ridiculous. Ever tried lightweight #travel?! My 135g #iPhone carries most of my library…
Fitting Nokon cables to my folding #Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro. Epic struggle. Inconsistent diameters! German manufacturing #precision?!

Testing Outdoor Research @ORGear Revel Cap [ link ] under Giro Atmos helmet for long #cycling under intense rain. Works so far.

Awesome! #Paris #bike shop Bicloune [ link ] had spare internals for my #Brompton’s SRF3! A rarity. No need for #UPS from Taiwan.
Excellent rhetorical prose by Steve JOBS on #Flash: [ link ] . And I agree. #HTML5 will win if #Apple persists. A good thing.
2500 km. My #Brompton’s SA SRF3 gearbox breaks down. Disassembly. No sealing = rust. Tiny pawls for torque transfer = cracked. Bad #design.
My 2 most wanted #PHP features: 1) complete UTF8 support; 2) more functions for multi-dimensional arrays. V6 will get UTF8 but foreach only.

The American @LibraryCongress now archives #Twitter’s tweets as well. All of them. But allows access to selected few: [ link ]

Leaving Friedrichshafen #Eurobike09 in torrential downpour. Tomorrow is public day. Mega-crowds expected.
Big difference between #Eurobike09 and #OutDoor09 in Friedrichshafen: much, much more smokers at #Eurobike09.
Park Tool to replace the PRS 15 by PRS 25. Prototype at #Eurobike09: lighter, more compact, locking fold, new clamp.
An “entry” into the 11-speed world of Campagnolo: the Athena grouppo presented at #Eurobike09. Mix of carbon fiber and aluminum.
New for #Eurobike09: Rohloff’s lighter, more compact shifter for their 14-speed hub. Works with straight bars, even carbon fiber.
#Eurobike09 presents a huge selection of beautiful fixies. But #Fixie Inc Peacemaker with belt drive (Gates Carbondrive) is simply awesome!
Ritchey Pro Paradigm SPD pedal looks great in red at #Eurobike09. 255 g. Combines bushings, bearings & sealed cartridges. Easy maintenance.

At last found the ClappTonBox hard case for #Brompton made by B&W [ link ] Super tough for checked-in air travel to #Eurobike09
#Eurobike09 test-ride: Mezzo aluminum monocoque folding bike. Very stable ride, folded size inbetween Bike Friday Tikit and #Brompton.
Unfortunately, Ritchey’s compact drop handlebar, WCS Carbon Logic Curve, didn’t make it to the #Eurobike09. Still in the works.
Sigma updates the BC 1606L DTS to BC 1609 STS. Better design and ergonomics, same speed and cadence sensors, plus temperature.

#OutDoor09 tech spreads to everyday gear. GoLite Go To Tote looks like a stylish womens bag. Tough, recycled, siliconized polyester, 283g!
@BrandonMoody I wait for the fit to be perfect. I wear US11 but found M43 too long, all Ms too wide. W42 is better width-wise, a bit short.
Teko showed an interesting selection of wool-based socks for runners and cyclers at #OutDoor09. Need to wear a pair to be fair. Day 2.
Wowed by Montane sleeveless Slipstream Gilet at #OutDoor09. Front: Pertex Quantum. Back: mesh. Felt great for spring / autumn running. 70g.
Tried #Vibram #FiveFingers at #OutDoor09. Considering since 2005. Problematic for my long & narrow feet. Pulled on mens & womens 42-43-44.

LTW Rear Fender builds upon the superlight Pacific Outdoor LTW Front Fender: 771g 20L (1 pannier). Compression, heel clearance. #OutDoor09

Pacific Outdoor Equipment rounds the bottom edges of its Pneumos (lighter + more compact), adds a plastic window to see through! #OutDoor09
#Garmin Dakota: compact, nicer to hold, awkward for stuff near screen edge, resolution (PPI) seems lower, brightness similar to Oregon 550.
#GoLite has shown me an impressive 765g / 38L backpack with ingenious compression system: the Peak. Recycled nylon, Deneema, mesh #OutDoor09

Inov8 introduces max-traction orienteering shoes. Oroc 340 & 350. Tungsten studs, differential rubber compound, laces cache. #OutDoor09
Have taken a look at the Patagonia Merino 1 at #OutDoor09. 108g super thin fabric: 63% of 16,5 micron merino wool + 37% of polyester. Nice!
Exped BivyBag in eVent looks good at #OutDoor09. Hood stifner, storm flapped zipper, guy points, mosquitto netting, vent, nylon floor, 670g.
Severely bitten by mosquitos while putting up my tent near the Friedrichshafen #OutDoor09 show.
