En passant


Sous le soleil tapant d’un été en Lorraine, non pas a Alger, Malraux, eux Camus, s’en souvienne. Mémoire, infidèle amie,Je continue les pauses littéraires qui forgent l’esprit de demain avec les fleurs d'aujourd'hui. Donc deux livres qui reviennent a ma mémoire. Purée, ca Rame quand ca veux. Geek joke.

Bon oui, j’aime, j'adore, les livres papiers pour les mémoires qui me redonnent, ces pages cornées qui montrent une ou deux lignes qui m’ont un jour interloquées. Je bouge vers les lecteurs électroniques surement. Mais bon je saute moutons. donc je reviens sur ces deux livres de lectures, un lu récemment et un autre revenu sur ma route lors d'un rangement d’été.

Bref le premier est le troisième, la vous êtes peut-être perdus, livre écrit par Mme Amelie Nothomb. Du Japon vers la Chine cette fois. Bref ca ne m’a pas transcendé, a mon gout bien personnel bien sur, mais ces quelques pages cornées de pensées que, j’ai trouvé, intéressantes :

A lire si vous le voulez, et voila les passages de l’édition de poche Albin Michel:




Les pensées qui m’ont fait sourire, réfléchir, été lues avec plaisir :
Page 13
Page 45
Page 70
Page 80

D’ailleurs j’en profite pour communiquer un livre tres sympa offert il y a quatre ans, et qui vaut le coup d’œil, enfin qui a attiré le mien avec grand attrait : Le voyage de Theo de Madame Catherine Clement. Tout simplement magique dans les mémoires que j'en ai.


Le deuxième livre est une surprise  simple et en bonheur acheté le long d’un détour sur Prague, ville magnifique s’il en est. Joyeuse  stop au libraire sur la Mala Strana qui m’a emporté le long d’un périple a la Don Quichotte en 2005 si je crois mes scribes d'antan, et même si je dois avouer que je n’ai pas encore fait l’effort de lire l’œuvre de Cervantes. Oui, lire n’est pas un effort, donc il me tombera dans les mains quand il me tombera dans les mains. Joyeuse tautologie pour ouvrir la scène du week-end.

Revenez, donc oui Jaroslav Hasek "Le brave soldat Chveik. 



D'ailleurs ca me rappelle un autre livre out of norms I witnessed dont j'ai profité égoïstement un jour, ou peut-être une nuit. donc Jachym Topol - Ange Exit

A magical ink for others to write with. What about you?


As the day went by, I found myself facing the adventure a blank paper offers. Oddly enough, the circumstances made me stand in a beloved state of mind. So let me trying to recap and go back in time.

Space Continuum distorted. Operation carried out with success.

I arrive this morning to this center, wait 30 minutes under the sun, having mainly replies from birds before engaging discussion with people around. Well, yes coffee was warm, such a nice icebreaker. Speaking of nothing, of the time, the weather, what happens around.

An interesting jigsaw for a puzzled mind dazzled in the morning. Yes I do like very much these words in zz in English, a specific sound, some interesting meaning, oh well, no need for explanation, just loving it.

Then came my turn. Facing the reception, I answered as accurately the questions asked. Looking through my previous history of such, I am kindly ask if I am doing a lot of sports. I do reply I enjoy doing my fair share of it, staying fit, or whatever this means.

Nice numbers, your level of it is high, good for you.. Some would use EPO to enhance it.

Nice advice, I don’t raise the curtail on the sarcasm. I do love compliments, it makes me smile, it makes me happy. In  any lies there is a part of truth, isn’t it?

I came to this place for a reason I don’t know.

Like this paper I am virtually staining in black, I had the envy to give again this magical ink for others to write chapters of their lives.

And second reason, every time I am doing it, I am back to my zz state, dazzled, puzzled, confused and baffled for the couple of hours after. Ok too much, at least one of these latter should describe accurately.

So after 10 minutes, I came out, stretching my arm, yawning greatly, thanking everyone and went up for a coffee and a nicely French home made pastries. Croissant is not my religion, it is still mine this morning.

In a middle of this break, I am asked why I do look so pale, and in another sphere. Well, I don’t know, must be a normal state, so yes “I feel allright, thanks. Do you know when they gonna build something on this place that they scrapped three or four years ago”. The mayor was there, something will come, another discovery for me in the future.

Now, translating back these notes to this device, I am back to earth. Still I have memories, and gosh I enjoyed this state, making you a dolphin, with everything just slipping around.

I do believe I am an addict. I did enjoy it a lot.

What about you? Nespresso hasn’t come yet with a special designed blood cell pack, so go for it, it is natural. I gave it, because like many, we don’t know if we are going to need one pack one day. Simple as that. And I kind of felt useful as well, which is a nice feeling.

Ok now, the notes I wrote afterwards, well I cannot decipher them. I was certainly saying something interesting, well I will never know.

Inspirational Speech

One of the most inspirationnal speech I like to recall when pushing forward, and framing on another POV in life. ok a fiction, still energizes me like a cell battery from the sun

Have the guts to dream, don't be afraid to fail. Bam rebound.

And no, I don't know anything about anerican football, only saw one live in my life, still like very much the image, a redline.

and one real and wonderful speech from end to end, yes you know it, I cannot refrain putting it in its long extent, a thoroughly very complete speech, amazing pathos obvioulsy.



a self-drawn one, followed up and balanced by these beautiful sounds away from action-packed only

Ubik


I remember when I first read his book on the jedi’s knight, when i was 13 in fact. I came some days ago back to Philip K Dick through a nice wandering within a library, and told myself “what the hell, the backcover sounds compelling” and I did enjoy reading this book: Ubik by Philip K Dick, written in the seventies, one standard perhaps, did not know it, my path crosses his again now.


SF, and in this, pure SF, has this inner power to reveal the deepest fantasy we have in our lives of simple humans, so entering the mechanism of thoughts, rethought, and structure this architecture another way, in the full dimensions of our Freudian inside, space dimensions, time dimensions, and inner thought dimensions.

I wasn’t thrilled by the blockbuster from last year “Inception” from obvious reasons, too much for too little. In true scale from 1 to 10, I would rate it personally at 3, “The Cell” stays in front at the top 6. I did midly enjoy 10 years ago, or so, cannot remember exactly when, and that is the point where memories play its trick, happy to witness it everytime.

I leave you discovering it, if you haven’t read it yet. I did find it sometimes too complex, sometimes too simple, once the reframe done, definitely pleasant to lose yourself in various assumptions. And well, I did enjoy coming back to SF for one book, and it was a good one. With the same feeling I had reading some of Dan Simmons, especially carrion comfort series, one nice stop as well, the previously last book of pure SF I ve read.

NYSE - Never yawn and stand even, or sth around

Via Scoop.it - The information flow

Stockmarket is nothing else than a game for some. I won't buy that it is a mirror per se of the economy to be figured as job creators, so many diffraction taking place in this case. NYSE Euronext coupling now even more cross-atlantic actions than ever before.

in 1999, I first entered the french stockmarket, the CAC 40 went around 6500-7000 points. Nowadays. we are worried about drop while we are around 3500 points. I am much more worried if stockmarkets were indeed reflection of the reality of the economy, to see that our economy didn't cover back its gaps in 10 years, and from the internet bubble.  

Change of valuation, change of index, change of financial vehicles? What I can believe, this world of trade exchange is bending over via the assymetry of information, so wouldn't be a surprise, unfortunately.   Take a look around, and we might notice quite an amount of opportunities away from this centerplace. So just a piece of the jigsaw of modern economy? definitely.

Staying away and plugging on


Building on last part of previous message, my deep inside went to hang itself, going off the hook of social media, this book with no face, I am currently focusing on some deep rooted motivations that keeps me going, on my road, road that might not cross as often this digital world.

I am using this unemployment time to review some expansion of the ebooks market to other spheres, looking to prototype these services into reality, and managing how it goes. All is part of learning and staying utterly active and in line with the society.

Question: How to manage soft/hardware, maintenance, volumes upload and upissues for a resilient distribution system in the professional sphere, and one sphere especially in mind? I do find here ebook reader more resilient than pad and tablets, even if not offering the whole extent of IT services, the question is to decide what is nice to have, what is a must have.

Global question: How to attract us back to reading? real, enjoyable, reading?

The why is simple, it is the explanation on how to save costs providing a suitable up to date learning system and as a 30 year old guy, I am still amazed to witness I might be considered a heavy reader, while only reading a book possybly every week since 10 years, and that is worrying me, because I do not consider I am a heavy reader, I consider myself just as a reading enthusiast, a segment of the population shrinking here and there (see reports from INSEE if you so wish, got it if not). And well, That s my oldest longest hobby, reading is the way I found to relax and relieve stress, not a concurrent activity to anything I can do, a complement.

Alternatively, I am eager for anything you would like to share and currently building up the business plan and prototyping steps. Do not hesitate to contact me on waterprod@gmail.com if you wish more info.
