Looking straight into the Bay of Fundy, where the ginormous tides usually go down some twenty something feet.


Things Organized Neatly 

Totally up my alley. And yours too, very probably.

DBA Co. 

I once dreamed of such a thing: beautiful, elegant and thoughtful products, sold only online. DBA are starting off with a biodegradable pen and and endless notebook, but it looks like a humidifier, heater, dishrack and extension cord are in the works.

Ditte Isager 

Dutch photographer, now working in NY. Love the way she works with light. As natural and delicate as possible, there’s something pure about it.


OMG, j'ouvre et utilise Adobe Flash pour la première fois de ma vie. J'me sens un peu dirty. 


Et comme tous les québecois à qui je raconte mes vacances, je m’exclame: “C’est tellement beau le bas St-Laurent!” Surtout les couchers de soleil.

Un court séjour de camping sauvage sur cette île presque déserte (quelques orignaux et lièvres dodus) au large de Rimouski avant d’enfiler les 2000 kilomètres de route qui nous séparaient des plages de sable de Cape Cod. Suivront quelques récits photographiques de deux semaines à essayer très fort de ne rien faire. Enfin, les vacances c’est toujours un peu ça. C’en est presque fatigant.


I'm entertaining a great professional relationship with my periodontist. He even calls me "Dude".

After 3423 km, Montreal, my dear, it's good to be back. 

Road trip roundup: Vacationland, Live Free or Die, Spirit of America, Green Mountain State, Yours to Discover, Je me souviens. 

A friend is giving me my first surfing lesson today. Time to finally use those superhero cries of my youth: "Kawabunga, dudes!" 

Se la pète, New England style. Oui, comme du chowder. 

Se sent comme dans une carte postale du Canada. Avec baleines, phare & vieux monsieur fumant la pipe. 

Et les plus grandes marées du monde a herring cove, campobello island, NB.

Bienvenue au Nouveau-Brunswick 

Pis des orignaux! 

Camping sauvage sur Ile st-barnabé, avec des gros lièvres. 

Allo bye rimouski!

Allo bye Montréal! en route pour métis-sur-mer 


New Simplicity 

An exhibit celebrating the ordinary by showcasing objects “that are simple, practical and affordable yet visually striking”. This ties in to the trend of and the likes, showcasing the beauty in everyday humble objects. But remember: simple design isn’t simplistic design. They’re probably on opposite ends of the spectrum. My kind of stuff, really, with elegant works from Oscar Diaz, Industrial Facility and Jasper Morrison.

In-between architecture 

For Patrick E. and his students, who regularly reproduces famous bedrooms (or bedrooms of famous architects) at 1:1 scale: Studio Mumbai Architecture presents at the V&A a reproduction of a dwelling “that is crammed into narrow urban allotments” commonly found inside Mumbai city’s grid of buildings. In the video they say these spaces represent 50% of Mumbai’s city dwellings, which basically means every in-between space between buildings in the city is somehow inhabited:

While quite tiny, the original structure houses a family of eight. Though seen as parasitic, these homes offer intelligent design solutions in a city where space is scarce. Like its neighbouring sculptures, ‘in-between architecture’ is a cast of the space in mumbai.

Moulding urban space! The negatives of our daily living spaces!

Microsoft Research: StreetSlide 

Excellente amélioration de l’interface de navigation virtuelle des rues d’une ville (google streetview/bing streetside) par l’affichage des facades en panoramas. La construction mentale d’une rue ou d’un quartier deviens plus juste et plus mémorable. L’utilisation sur iPhone est encore plus convaincante.
