que j'ai déjà évoqué &lt;a href="http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/05/le-capitalisme-des-hritiers.html"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt; avance de brillantes théories sur notre grande difficulté à travailler ensemble, que ce soit dans le privé ou le public d'ailleurs. Entre parenthèses, il s'agit d'un des grands regrets de Mitterand que de ne pas avoir pu/su fluidifier et harmoniser ces relations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce que j'ai pour ma part remarqué c'est qu'il est aussi très pénible de travailler en France pour deux raisons principales : a) un grand investissement affectif et donc un manque de distanciation et b) une culture du conflit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mon travail, mon enfant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On ne sait pas, comme les anglo saxons par exemple, avoir le recul necessaire pour faire la différence entre ce que nous produisons et ce que nous sommes. Ainsi la critique est-elle très mal prise car on se sent critiqué personnellement alors qu'en fait on critique le produit avec pour objectif que celui-ci soit le meilleur au final. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il est très difficile d'admettre que ce qui importe ce n'est pas de mettre en oeuvre &lt;em&gt;sa propre&lt;/em&gt; idée mais de mettre en oeuvre &lt;em&gt;la meilleure&lt;/em&gt; idée pour le projet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Le coup de gueule comme affirmation de soi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une autre chose terriblement épuisante dans les relations professionnelles en France est cette culture du conflit, avec le coup de gueule comme vecteur d'affirmation de la personnalité. Alors que dans les cultures protestantes il s'agit là d'une attitude hors de propos et égocentrique. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Le latin identifiera cette reticence à gueuler comme de la lâche soumission alors que pour les protestants il ne s'agit là que d'accepter l'interêt général : ne pas casser les oreilles, épargner aux collégues des débordements impudiques et se maintenir dans un échange constructif.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L'art et l'avant garde du capitalisme&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, ce que trouve particulièrement ironique c'est que les plus grands détracteurs de la vie en entreprise viennent du monde du journalisme ou du milieu artistique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tout le monde sait qu'il s'agit là de deux milieux de franche camaraderie et de grande convivialité. Cette hypocrisie prend une autre dimension lorsque l'on lit Pierre Michel Menger (&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Du-labeur-loeuvre-Portrait-travailleur/dp/2020578921/ref=sr_1_1/171-6990646-1410630?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;qid=1181649701&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Portrait de l'artiste en travailleur&lt;/a&gt;) peignant le monde artistique comme l'une des formes les plus abouties du nouveau capitalisme (winner takes all etc ...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et si nous essayions plutôt de trouver ensemble des solutions intelligentes et pragmatiques plutôt que benoîtement tout mettre sur le dos du grand méchant capital ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-7904621938479508560?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/7904621938479508560/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=7904621938479508560' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/7904621938479508560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/7904621938479508560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/06/les-malheurs-de-lentreprise.html' title='Les Malheurs de l&apos;Entreprise'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-2900516854861911710</id><published>2007-06-09T23:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-10T00:47:40.692-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Missing : Kathy Sierra</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tT6n3Tw7oaQ/Rmucm6HvvBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/VNAP8Q6B5j4/s1600-h/cpu.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tT6n3Tw7oaQ/Rmucm6HvvBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/VNAP8Q6B5j4/s320/cpu.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5074321597413702674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I used to be a Professional working in airline distribution system business. Man, life was great : I was making good money in the countries I wanted (I even managed to reject an offer from Qantas, stupid me) being international consultant in this niche market with old techs. Then came &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.imdb.com/title/tt0469641/"&gt;September 11&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within half a day my professional skills were made obsolete (okay there were worth things around, but still : it was still bad). I then decided then to switch to new techs in general and &lt;a href="http://java.sun.com/"&gt;Java Programming language&lt;/a&gt; in particular. I started this self-training to prepare for the &lt;a href="http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/index.xml"&gt;Java programmer certification&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is when Kathy Sierra came into my professional life (messiah image dressed in white surrounded with a halo of dazzling light). Seriously though : thanks to her books and the amazing &lt;a href="http://www.javaranch.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;JavaRanch&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;site I had the certification and could get a job in that technical area. I've carried on and passed another two &lt;a href="http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/index.xml"&gt;professional&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scbcd.xml"&gt;certifications &lt;/a&gt;thanks to her brilliant &lt;a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjejb/"&gt;Head First Series&lt;/a&gt; : these allowed me to get a &lt;a href="http://www.in-fusio.com/"&gt;great job (well, surely my favorite job ever)&lt;/a&gt; back in my country. I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;sooooooo&lt;/span&gt; grateful she helped me when I needed the most : she had a definite and positive influence on my professional life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there was this a-ma-zing blog (ranked #1 in The &lt;a href="http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion/2007/05/top_25_marketin.html"&gt;Viral Valley top 25 of marketing blogs&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/"&gt;Creating Passionate Users &lt;/a&gt;allowed me to keep the pace with Web 2.0 technologies and culture and gave me the energy to blog (this last bit may not be such a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;good&lt;/span&gt; thing though).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there was this &lt;a href="http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Afr%3Aofficial&amp;hs=Cfb&amp;amp;q=sierra+death+threats&amp;btnG=Rechercher&amp;amp;meta="&gt;death threats issue&lt;/a&gt; which saw her stopping the blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kathy : I do hope you're well.

On se retrouve confronté à un autre mode de vie qui fait réfléchir différemment à notre idendité. Reflexion qui permet d'identifier la part de conditionnement culturel lié à notre nationalité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aussi, on se retrouve dans la peau d'un micro-ambassadeur et on représente sa patrie : ça c'est un grand honneur. Honneur qui implique aussi de devoir répondre des actes de son pays. Et là on se retrouve parfois dans une situation embarrassante, un peu comme lorsque l'on reçoit des amis et que sa vieille tante impudique se donne en spectacle sans beaucoup de pudeur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les exemples d'attitude embarrassante et déplacée de mon pays lors de mon expatriation (1996-2004) sont innombrables :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;la reprise des essais nucléaires par Chirac en 96,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;notre critique ouverte de la démocratie en Autriche lors de l'avènement de Jorg Haider en 2000, conseils démocratiques qui feront hurler de rire des collègues Autrichiens au Printemps 2002&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;notre ingérence dans les choix politiques des autres pays comme la Pologne lors de leur choix de suivre les US pour la guerre en Irak,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;notre critique ouverte des systèmes de santé des pays anglo-saxons en chantant partout l'exemplarité du nôtre, pour voir le drame national de l'été 2003&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ce chanteur, ardent défenseur des libertés et des opprimés, interpelant le libéralisme et le capital malfaisant (incarnés alors par JM Messier) lors d'une cérémonie quelconque pour lui rappeler que "nos vies valent mieux que leur profit", sous les vivas de la salle enthousiaste, dans un souffle révolutionnaire. Ce même chanteur qui battra à mort sa compagne quelques mois plus tard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Le rejet républicain de toute discrimination positive et l'hypocrisie sur la représentation des minorités dans la vie publique, ou plutôt ce manque ahurissant de représentation, tel que me le faisait remarquer un ami anglais d'origine Jamaïcaine en 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Cette vieille tante embarrassante est réapparue lors du festival de Cannes. Jamel (un des seuls comiques.fr à me faire régulièrement beaucoup rire) n'a pu s'abstenir de faire une lourde allusion à la politique durant son discours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai trouvé cela complètement hors-propos et inapproprié. J'ai pensé alors à toutes ces délégations, ces artistes venus des quatre coins du monde, regardant, gênés cette vieille tante sortir le linge sale devant tous ces étrangers, cela m'a un peu embarrassé et j'ai ressenti ce même sentiment confus de gêne et de colère à l'égard de mon pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Vas-y tatie, fais un peu preuve de dignité et apprends à te taire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-4515275971280063292?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/4515275971280063292/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=4515275971280063292' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/4515275971280063292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/4515275971280063292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/06/france-cette-vieille-tante-maniaco.html' title='La France et la vieille tante embarrassante'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-6807488200685637701</id><published>2007-06-07T03:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-11T04:40:50.289-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Suck the marrow out of the meatspace bone</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rkMnp187K0Y" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;(click to play the soundtrack of this post)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Digital Attraction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I quite fancy David Armano's &lt;a href="http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;. This is full of ideas and nice visual assets about design, user experience and web 2.0.It was strange to see this &lt;a href="http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion/2007/05/5_things_i_lear.html"&gt;touching post&lt;/a&gt; though. I probably am wrong but this sounds to me like self-persuasion : "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;hey real life is cool : I can see, I can feel, I can touch, I can smell, I can communicate&lt;/span&gt;". But, then, there is digital attraction he cant resist : "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;OK, I think I'm ready for work now&lt;/span&gt;. :)" is the way this blog post ends, rather sadly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It could well be a misinterpretation but the line between "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Working&lt;/span&gt;" and "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Being connected&lt;/span&gt;" becoming more and more blurry, it sounds to me as if he was saying : "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Okay, I just had enough of real life to write a blog post with, now give me my electronic hit back&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Meatspace Vs Myspace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this great &lt;a href="http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2006/12/15/on_being_virtua.html"&gt;post Danah Boyd&lt;/a&gt; reckons that "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;the digital is complementing (and complicating) the physical". &lt;/span&gt;I would tend more and more to think the opposite and would swap "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;digital&lt;/span&gt;" and "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;physical&lt;/span&gt;" in that very sentence. There has been some kind of shift, here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us spend the day connected for work. But now we also are connected for about everything as &lt;a href="http://fredbrunel.com/journal/2007/05/no-internet-is-like-no-electricity/"&gt;Fred is putting it&lt;/a&gt;. The unplugged portion of our day tends to reduce drastically, so does our life in the real world, subsequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's as if whatever happens in our real lives should feed the electronic ones. There is this &lt;a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/440-ideos-jane-fulton-suri-observes-thoughtless-acts"&gt;post &lt;/a&gt;on 37 signals regarding Designer Jane Fulton Suri book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Thoughtless-Acts-Observations-Intuitive-Design/dp/0811847756/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-7883978-3742418?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;qid=1181214221&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Thoughtless Acts &lt;/a&gt;advocating for observing regular peope doing regular things to improve as designer (may I disgress a bit here : the casual way &lt;a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/images/ta4.png"&gt;girls tie their hair back with a pencil&lt;/a&gt; is so strangely glamorous - pic from Jane Fulton book).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a &lt;a href="http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion/2007/05/creating_passio.html"&gt;pretty similar post from DA&lt;/a&gt;. Sounds to me like : &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/?v=rkMnp187K0Y"&gt;suck the marrow out of the meatspace bone&lt;/a&gt; to make the real life a part of the digital one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a bit of a concern for me. Seeing this post from David allowed me to take a step back and question myself. How do you fellow bloggers feel about that ? Do you think that your electronic and real lives are balanced ? As far as I am concerned, &lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/The+Smiths/_/Well+I+Wonder"&gt;well I wonder&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-6807488200685637701?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/6807488200685637701/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=6807488200685637701' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/6807488200685637701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/6807488200685637701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/06/sucking-marrow-out-of-meatspace-bone.html' title='Suck the marrow out of the meatspace bone'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-508806089022350492</id><published>2007-06-06T11:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-07T03:51:26.007-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pop culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>lo tech poetry</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;I just love &lt;a href="http://noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com"&gt;that&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-508806089022350492?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/508806089022350492/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=508806089022350492' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/508806089022350492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/508806089022350492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/06/lo-tech-poetry.html' title='lo tech poetry'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-5265352598852532435</id><published>2007-06-05T08:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-07T04:51:56.254-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='entreprise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Respect to the AlphaGeeks</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/Geek-Inside-1280.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Common + Technical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the early 90s when I started my carreer as an IT professionnal, there was in France this very popular stand-up comedy trio called Les Inconnus (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the Unknown&lt;/span&gt; - wish they actually were). They had this rather stupid story about software engineers (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in-gé-nieur in-for-ma-ti-cieeeeen&lt;/span&gt;) which had the whole country laughing. People was laughing with this story because :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;IT job is very &lt;em&gt;common&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;technical&lt;/em&gt;, both adjectives being abuse in France &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;the IT professional character was depicted as an autistic guy looking clumsy and uncomfortable about everywhere but in front of a PC : uncool as hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I dont take any particular pride in being an &lt;a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/cdijoux"&gt;IT professional&lt;/a&gt;. More than often I love my job. It allowed me to find interesting missions in other countries, to meet lovely people and great professionals and, not to forget : it does pay the bills. Sure, I would have preferred to be a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Henry"&gt;footballer, &lt;/a&gt;a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Gallagher"&gt;rock star&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholson_Baker"&gt;novelist&lt;/a&gt;, but hey! you have to be grateful for what you've got.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not so long ago when I was introducing myself and saying what I was doing, people would change subject pretty fast (unless they also are in the industry). My feeling is that the way software engineers are perceived today, in my country at least, has completely changed. And this is another consequence of the second coming of the web.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Golfers and Programmers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is this good &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/AlphaGeek.html"&gt;definition&lt;/a&gt; on Martin Fowler's blog of what AlphaGeeks are. This is a concept coming from (yet another) thorough &lt;a href="http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/05/14/oreilly_wwdc_keynote.html"&gt;online talk&lt;/a&gt; by Tim O'Reilly. It also is used on Martin's &lt;a href="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/RubyMicrosoft.html"&gt;thoughts &lt;/a&gt;about Ruby and Microsoft. And this is where it gets interesting : "&lt;em&gt;At RailsConf, Tim Bray contended that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the key decisions on technology are made by the programming community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; " Further, Fowler remind us that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; "&lt;em&gt;The open-source community does much of its communication through source code&lt;/em&gt;." So if you're not a coder, too bad mate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;em&gt;avant-garde&lt;/em&gt; of IT geeks has seen his power considerably leveraged by the social web. There has been a dramatic shift in the way big decisions are taken regarding software architecture and strategy. A great example in the Java world is Spring Vs J2EE and Hibernate Vs JDO : in both cases, emergent open source solutions became de facto standards when competing against industry commitee solutions. REST Vs RPC/SOAP is going the same way with the &lt;a href="http://www.octo.com/com/com_livreblanc.html"&gt;former &lt;/a&gt;edging &lt;a href="http://www.infoq.com/articles/richardson-ruby-restful-ws"&gt;slowly&lt;/a&gt; but surely &lt;a href="http://www.restlet.org/"&gt;past &lt;/a&gt;the latter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next stop is &lt;a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/"&gt;Ruby On Rails &lt;/a&gt;: there is a massive open source community around this new Framework to build full scale web applications. Despite what &lt;a href="http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000382.html"&gt;Cedric Beutch clever thoughts&lt;/a&gt;  are on the subject, I still believe RoR will also become the new standard. The pressure of the open source community led by the alphageeks will make political decisions less and less sustainable for technical solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The New Plane of existence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most connected people has a second life, be it the &lt;a href="http://secondlife.com/"&gt;game &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/"&gt;Myspace &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;new plane of existence&lt;/em&gt; as &lt;a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/03/ultrafast_relea.html"&gt;Kathy Sierra daughter's would put it&lt;/a&gt; , a &lt;a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/Ceciiil/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; or whathaveyou2.0. As David Armano is putting it in his &lt;a href="http://darmano.typepad.com/logic_emotion/2006/09/geek_20.html"&gt;Geek 2.0 definition&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;they need us more than we need them&lt;/span&gt;. AlphaGeeks are now &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/46457493@N00/230535210/"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;priceless assets of the global economy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/46457493@N00/230535210/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; thanks to their ability to envision the way to build our digital world. Web 2.0 media democratization has allowed sub cultures to emerge and voice different opinions. This culture is now accepted and respected : having a digital (video games, technologies, internet) column in french &lt;a href="http://www.technikart.com/"&gt;culture magazines&lt;/a&gt; would have been unthinkable last century : it's now compulsory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End result is : this stand-up comedy band joke isn't funny anymore (it has never been as I far as I am concerned) and golfers shall no longer rule the technical IT world&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; So respect where it's due : to the AlphaGeeks indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-5265352598852532435?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/5265352598852532435/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=5265352598852532435' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/5265352598852532435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/5265352598852532435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/06/respect-to-alphageeks_05.html' title='Respect to the AlphaGeeks'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-2341888643826864081</id><published>2007-06-05T04:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-05T10:14:07.156-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>No Jobs Vs Gates</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Be warned !

Believe me, this is a killer. The crispy, dynamic sound and the raw power of tubes, the vintage look. And the serial number 115.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been using this &lt;a href="http://www.voxamps.co.uk/tonelab/tonelab_se.asp"&gt;new generation of amp modeler technology&lt;/a&gt;. This is very handy : you can just plug anything (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Headphones, PC speakers) to enjoy the great sound. It emulates &lt;a href="http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2171000010"&gt;famous vintage tube amps&lt;/a&gt;, comes with multiple effects and allows you to create your custom sounds. My problem was for live gigs, though : I needed a power amp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Superspecialists gallore &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wandering around on the internet I've been amazed by the amount of information I've found. I'm not talking about "it's cool + it sounds great, lol" type of comments. I'm talking about real and thorough &lt;a href="http://www.harmony-central.com/"&gt;super expert reviews&lt;/a&gt; by the community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every single day I am amazed with how fast information and ideas spread all around the globe with the internet. And this cool side effects : internet creates super-specialist in about any domain. I'm not saying that this type of people didn't exist before the google years but hey ! sure they were not SUCH expert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Sliding arm and sharing sense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've met guys half my age on &lt;a href="http://www.guitariste.com/"&gt;forums&lt;/a&gt; who know far more that I ever will on musical equipment. When I was that young, I would only know the sliding arm technique to tune my amp (sliding the arm on all the knobs at once to tune each one on level 10). Back then, they were no such teenager experts around : now they all are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess this is what &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Crowds-James-Surowiecki/dp/0385721706"&gt;Wisdom of Crowd&lt;/a&gt; is all about. Or &lt;a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/"&gt;Seth Godin&lt;/a&gt; when he says that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Web2.0 is about sharing sense while 1.0 was just about to get some hints&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway : thanks to all these electronic conversations, I've eventually ordered my Atomic Reactor 212-50 to a &lt;a href="http://www.g66.eu/"&gt;small shop in Germany&lt;/a&gt; whose business is to exclusively distribute in Europe musical hardware coming from the US : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Small-New-Big-Remarkable-Business/dp/1591841267"&gt;Small is the new big&lt;/a&gt; indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having Serial number 115 of this amp designed in California, built in China, bought in Germany and delivered in France, I guess I've juste became a super-specialist enjoying the global &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Tail"&gt;long tail&lt;/a&gt; here ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-5274847973286224910?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/5274847973286224910/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=5274847973286224910' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/5274847973286224910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/5274847973286224910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/05/superspecialize-me-leveraging-web-20-to.html' title='Superspecialize Me : leveraging Web 2.0 to entertain the neighborhood'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-1485500188427025997</id><published>2007-05-29T11:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T04:38:32.405-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pop culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><title type='text'>Internet moves so fast</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51B22Y9DYHL._AA240_.jpg" height="150" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pumpkin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In the amazing and weirdo &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.amazon.fr/Maxinquaye-Tricky/dp/B000001E7V"&gt;Maxinquaye&lt;/a&gt; album (a must have, in my personal 90s TOP10) by one hit wonder &lt;a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;sql=11:kzfyxqqgldde"&gt;Tricky &lt;/a&gt;, there was this brilliant duet with &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.goldfrapp.co.uk"&gt;Alison Goldfrapp&lt;/a&gt; : the track name is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Pumpkin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. It's a bit of a sticky and suffocating 6/4 ballad based on a &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.smashingpumpkins.com/"&gt;Smashing Pumpkins&lt;/a&gt; sample (hence the title). In this song, Tricky, with his usual psychopath whispering voice goes  "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;MTV moves so fast, I refuse to understand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's a bit of the the way I sometimes feel about the web 2.0 (MySpace owners saying they are the MTV of this generation makes it even more applicable) and  the welter of &lt;a href="http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo"&gt;technologies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/"&gt;toolkits&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.rubyonrails.org/"&gt;frameworks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://groovy.codehaus.org/"&gt;langages &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://widgets.yahoo.com/"&gt;components&lt;/a&gt; coming down on us on a regular basis.   On one hand I have to admit these really are exciting times to work in the IT world. But on the other, I cant help feeling discouraged by all the new stuff we have to go through to keep up to date. It was a bit of a relief to read even people like french &lt;a href="http://fr.techcrunch.com/"&gt;Techcrunch &lt;/a&gt;feeling about the same (sorry I havent kept the actual link) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hibernate with GWT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sooooo depressed when I read guys like Sami saying in his nice &lt;a href="http://www.dotnetguru2.org/sami/index.php?title=test&amp;amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1"&gt;blog post on GWT&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;"When I want to learn about a new technology, I just hibernate for a few days preparing the material for a training on that very subject". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This makes me feel so unprofessional. I have just finished doing my &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/walls2/"&gt;Spring &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/bauer/"&gt;Hibernate &lt;/a&gt;self training. After a long time observing the &lt;a href="http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=152728"&gt;Ruby or Groovy&lt;/a&gt; debate (I just dont have enough time to go through both),  I have just ordered my &lt;a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/"&gt;Ruby On Rails&lt;/a&gt; book. But still, I just feel like a slacker, a part-time IT professional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here are my questions : how do all these &lt;a href="http://fredbrunel.com/journal/"&gt;tech savvy&lt;/a&gt; do to keep up to date with what's going on, where do they find the time to be (on top of their own job) &lt;a href="http://ola-bini.blogspot.com/"&gt;superstars &lt;/a&gt;of the open source community  ? Do they have special authorization to have 48 hours day ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Walking the dog and running Tiger &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, I have a family, a house to DIY on a regular basis, a dog to walk, a pop band to run,  &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Reminder-Feist/dp/B000NPE7YC"&gt;CDs&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Citrus-Asobi-Seksu/dp/B000FEBWBC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0003587-0750306?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;amp;qid=1180466539&amp;sr=1-1"&gt;to &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Release-Stars-Rufus-Wainwright/dp/B000O78LH8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0003587-0750306?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=music&amp;qid=1180466570&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;listen&lt;/a&gt; to, movies to watch , &lt;a href="http://www.sethgodin.com/ideavirus/"&gt;books&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://www.generationme.org/"&gt;read&lt;/a&gt;, oh and  secondarily, my own company to run (I'm self employed).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you know what ? I think I'm not the only one. When I talk with my colleagues at work it just occurs that most of them don't know as much as I do on this new tech topics. All these techy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infoq.com/"&gt;web sites&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theserverside.com/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; are the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;avant-garde&lt;/span&gt; of the IT world.  Real world is a different story : as an example, I had about 10 jobs interview in February with different IT companies, none of them (well in management team at least) had ever heard of Ruby On Rails, none of them was running &lt;a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/"&gt;Tiger &lt;/a&gt;either. Okay I dont work in the Silicon Valley but still ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess that for us, the geek next door, they just are like Super heros. I'm not saying  that we should not do anything to keep up with the technologies : we should do our best within the time and space that is given to us. And as the &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.radiohead.com"&gt;Radiohead &lt;/a&gt;song goes along, "the best we can is good enough".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-1485500188427025997?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/1485500188427025997/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=1485500188427025997' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/1485500188427025997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/1485500188427025997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/05/internet-moves-too-fast.html' title='Internet moves so fast'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-8188923945041053791</id><published>2007-05-27T12:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-11T04:43:30.987-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pop culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='français'/><title type='text'>SofiaCoppoleries ou les transparences capiteuses de la culture Indie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Bird-Music-Au-Revoir-Simone/dp/B000KP7KZ8"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51z8yPPUiJL._AA240_.jpg" height="150" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Mes longues conversations electroniques avec &lt;a href="http://forum.technikart.com/viewforum.php?f=1"&gt;la teck mob &lt;/a&gt;(population plutôt urbaine et branchouille) m'ont confirmé dans ce sentiment diffus selon lequel nous achetons plus des produits culturels comme des attributs de définition socio-culturelle que comme des objets de découverte et d'enrichissement intellectuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La mouvance pop-indie (pour indépendante, par opposition au &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Mainstream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;) propose ainsi des objets culturels (&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Its-Never-Been-Like-That/dp/B000E4FI1I/ref=pd_bowtega_3/403-3579310-3736420?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;amp;qid=1180438839&amp;sr=1-3"&gt;disques&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.imdb.com/title/tt0449059/"&gt;films&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.bon-a-tirer.com/auteurs/toussaint.html"&gt;livres&lt;/a&gt;) qui ne sont souvent qu'un assemblage (plus ou moins réussi) de signes de subversion délicate : lo-fi contre le tout technologique, histoires évasives plutôt que scenarios en béton, personnages en plein doute contre sportifs baraqués ou business women résolue, voix et arrangements hésitants en lieu et place de maestria instrumentiste, ironie et détachement plutôt que certitudes et engagement, erotisme diaphane plutot que sex-appeal hormonal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On pourrait ainsi tracer une ligne de &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofia_Coppola"&gt;Sofia Coppola&lt;/a&gt; à &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/musique.fluctuat.net/air.html"&gt;Air  &lt;/a&gt;pour relier les centres névralgiques de cette mouvance.  On pourra y adjoindre l'electro-pop des princesses glacées d '&lt;a href="http://aurevoirsimone.com/"&gt;Au Revoir Simone&lt;/a&gt;, trio de new yorkaises à la beauté diaphane (merveilleusement mis en valeur par la pochette)  et aux jambes interminables, trio venant tout les comme les impeccables &lt;a href="http://www.mattandkimmusic.com/"&gt;Matt&amp;amp;Kim&lt;/a&gt; de Brooklyn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On peut donc avec &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Bird-Music-Au-Revoir-Simone/dp/B000KP7KZ8"&gt;The Bird of Music&lt;/a&gt; (succédant au superbement nommé &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Verses-Comfort-Assurance-Salvation-Revoir/dp/B000BOG24I/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_b/403-3579310-3736420"&gt;Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation&lt;/a&gt; - en hommage à &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Songs-Faith-Devotion-Depeche-Mode/dp/B000002MJC/ref=sr_1_1/403-3579310-3736420?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;qid=1180437216&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Depeche Mode&lt;/a&gt; ?) s'acheter une petite conduite indie, car tout est là, dosé à la perfection, sans véritable surprise : synthé antédiluviens, belles mélodies (le micro-hymne "The Lucky one" est une sorte un micro-tube), textes en demi-teintes, vocabulaire musical réduit à son plus simple appareil, minimalisme des arrangements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes dans la lignée des &lt;a href="http://www.stereolab.co.uk/"&gt;Stereolab&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.thenotwist.com/"&gt;The Notwist&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.lalipuna.de/"&gt;Lali Puna&lt;/a&gt;, et ce charme capiteux, cette grâce transparente s'exprime totalement lors de l'écoute de The Bird of Music, parfaite bande son vernale. Reconnaissons donc à ces &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.petervonpoehl.com"&gt;artistes indie&lt;/a&gt; un grand talent pour exprimer si précisément des sentiments si subtils, si &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.imdb.com/title/tt0335266/"&gt;ténus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On pourra reprocher à cette mouvance un peu de systèmatisation dans l'emploi de ces signes, systématisation qui peut donner un sentiment de &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.marieantoinette-lefilm.com/"&gt;superficialité&lt;/a&gt;.  Et se questionner sur la typologie socio-culturelle monolithique des artistes et du public :  à savoir une jeune bourgeoisie blanche de gauche, plutôt aisée. Et se demander si celle-ci ne perpétue pas, en creux, cet élitisme et cette condescendance intellectuelle que l'on peut reprocher à ses aînés.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-8188923945041053791?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/8188923945041053791/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=8188923945041053791' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/8188923945041053791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/8188923945041053791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/05/sofiacoppoleries-ou-les-transparences.html' title='SofiaCoppoleries ou les transparences capiteuses de la culture Indie'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4579904800157287498.post-2965079564096657059</id><published>2007-05-25T14:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-11T04:42:49.406-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='société'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='français'/><title type='text'>Rock Débraillé 90s Vs Rock Dandy 00s</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/615MNJDPMVL._AA240_.jpg" height="150" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Retour du &lt;a href="http://www.dinosaurjr.com/"&gt;Dinosaur Jr&lt;/a&gt; original pour un nouvel album qui reprend les choses là ou le groupe les avait laissées en avec &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bug-Dinosaur-Jr/dp/B0007NMKB2"&gt;Bug&lt;/a&gt; en 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans un article de  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.chronicart.com/"&gt;Chronicart&lt;/a&gt; (version papier uniquement) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;symptomatique de la presse rock parisienne, Wilfried Paris alimente la finesse de son analyse (solo = metal = prolo = ca pue) d'anecdoctes personnelles dont tout le monde se fiche ou de copier-coller du dossier de presse un peu n'importe comment. Approche détestable à comparer avec la chronique du &lt;a href="http://music.guardian.co.uk/rock/reviews/story/0,,2066141,00.html"&gt;guardian&lt;/a&gt;  pour mesurer la distance déontologique entre les deux journalistes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dinosaurjr.com/"&gt;Dinosaur Jr&lt;/a&gt; c'est un extrait pur jus de culture des suburbia americaines.

Même s'ils ont un peu de mal à tenir la route, "Almost Ready", "Been There all the time" ou le merveilleux "Crumble" pourraient en effet être extraits de Bug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il ne s'agit pas de nostalgie à la con.

Les différentes approches du travail constituent un sujet fascinant, qui m'interpellent profondément et me questionnent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai entendu Thomas Philippon l'autre jour sur France Inter où il présentait son livre : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Capitalisme-dh%C3%A9ritiers-crise-fran%C3%A7aise-travail/dp/2020917637"&gt;le capitalisme des héritiers&lt;/a&gt;  (une synthèse rapide &lt;a href="http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/%7Etphilipp/france/travail.pdf"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;). Fred Bonnaud, ne sait trop comment s'y prendre : le &lt;a href="http://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/em/bandeabonnaud/"&gt;chef de bande&lt;/a&gt; se fige alors dans sa grille de lecture antédiluvienne : "mais on a du mal a savoir s'il s'agit d'un livre de gauche ou de droite".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce manichéïsme de la pensée est désespérant et merveilleusement bien partagé dans notre pays.  C'est le coeur même du bouquin de Philippon. La coopération se fait dans la douleur, bloc contre bloc, dans une méfiance permanente, quand elle devrait être dans un élan collectif.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les conclusions d'analyses croisées de Philippon sont : «&lt;em&gt;statistiquement, la qualité des relations sociales dans l’entreprise explique 70% des variations de taux d’emploi entre les pays (…). C’est deux fois mieux qu’avec les variables institutionnelles classiques (taux de remplacement et durée des allocations chômage, taux d’imposition du travail, coûts de licenciements, etc.)&lt;/em&gt;»&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;Nous sommes passionnés, nous sommes épuisés&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mon sentiment, nourri par ces années d'experience, est qu'il est plus éprouvant et difficile de travailler dans l'industrie Française en raison de ces relations conflictuelles entre les employés et le management ou entre les syndicats et les patrons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce que tend à prouver ce livre qui offre un éclairage neuf et vif sur des notions que je ressentais confusément sans être vraiment capable de les enoncer clairement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce, tout en rajoutant qu'il s'agit là, chiffres à l'appui, d'une des causes plausibles du manque de dynamisme de notre marché de l'emploi. Une théorie particulièrement interessante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4579904800157287498-2908264157377419843?l=ceciiil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/feeds/2908264157377419843/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4579904800157287498&amp;postID=2908264157377419843' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/2908264157377419843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4579904800157287498/posts/default/2908264157377419843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ceciiil.blogspot.com/2007/05/le-capitalisme-des-hritiers.html' title='Le Capitalisme des héritiers'/><author><name>Ceciiil</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13930317153693374228</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/ceciiil/snowflake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
