off to paris

Off to Paris. Back Tues­day. See you soo­nish.
[NOTE TO SELF:] Write less. Post more car­toons.
[SUNDAY UPDATE:] In Mont­par­nasse, Paris, typing from my favo­rite cyber­cafe, the one around the cor­ner from my usual hotel. Paris hasn’t chan­ged much since I was here last Novem­ber. Having din­ner tonight with lots of blog­gers etc.
[SUNDAY UPDATE– NOON:] It’s weird rea­ding Doc Searl’s blog, rea­li­sing you’re about to go meet him in per­son for the first time in about 20 minu­tes… Brunch at Cafe Select on the Bou­le­vard Mon­ta­par­nasse, along with Mary Hod­der, Halley Suitt and Cate­rina Fake.
[MONDAY UPDATE:] Still in Paris. About to go catch my plane. The con­fe­rence was fun. Drew some car­toons while I was there, which Heiko pos­ted (Thanks, Heiko!).
Great to see every­body… will blog about it later.
Spe­cial thanks to Loic Lemeur and his posse for making it hap­pen.
(Some good Tech­no­rati links here)
There a was ses­sion there where jour­na­lists were asking a lot of ques­tions. I came away thin­king, “Dino­saurs don’t like meteors”. There is no point trying to sell a dino­saur a meteor. He/She ain’t buying, so stop trying to sell him/her the meteor story etc.

  1. Yes, I agree, more car­toons.
    I have seen them all and I still desire to view more.
    Hurry as I have deve­lo­ped and addic­tion to them and just ran out of metha­done… oh WTF I’ll go shoot some heroin until you get back.
    Great Stuffs

    You ack­now­led­ged my com­ment!
    Even though some drugs are lega­li­sed and not scarce here in Holland, ‘yours’ (car­toons) are pretty hard to find.
    More addic­tive than herion, btw ;)

    Paris hardly ever chan­ges.
    Damn, every day I walk to school past an inter­na­tio­nal trains­ta­tion. Every mor­ning there’s signs saying “Train to Brus­sels and Paris-nord lea­ves from plat­form 6″ and I just wish I’d have the guts/time to buy a tic­ket and board it. Only a 3 hour train­jour­ney etc…

    i’ve just orde­red myself a fine luxury cot­ton limi­ted edi­tion hugh­train t-shirt. have you orde­red yours?

  9. Ric says:

    vee­dubya: orde­red not one, but two! Why — because I can afford two t-shirts, but not one (English Cut) suit …

  10. Biz Blog­ging

    These past few weeks have seen an inc­re­di­ble focus on cor­po­rate blog­ging in the mains­tream press, cul­mi­na­ting in the May 2nd cover story of Busi­ness­Week, “Blogs will change your business”.
