I was there The longest waiting queue in my life, more than 1 hour to get in for buying a ticket, and about like 1 km of walking, crazy crazy crazy!

Overall, this was a good day, although I got less goodies than I used to on previous years!

Some pics from the convention:

Today I had a day-off, and as the weather was hot and shiny, I went to one of the last place I never (or barely) visited in Paris: La Defense.

You will find in the photo slideshow pictures from:

1. The Arch of La Defense
2. photos of old computers taken at the museum of computers in the arch of la defense
3. skyscrapers, business centers and shopping malls in la Defense
4. photos from le bois de Boulogne in Neuilly sur Seine

If you visit Paris as a tourist, I might recommend you not to spend more than half a day in this place, at is it not really designed for tourists, but it is more one of the main business centers of Paris (plthis place is full of white-colars ^^), yet I think it was worth the sight!

Just a quick note to inform you I have updated my CV to reflect my current graduated engineer status and include all my latest professional experience and skills
Check it here (French version only yet)

I know it’s been a long time since I posted something on my blog, but I won’t post today personal news (although there are many hihi)

Today, I would like to dedicate this post to my favorite actor of all times: Jacky Chan

Since I am kid, I love all Jacky Chan movies: it’s fun, there’s great action and stunts, and to me Jacky Chan is more than an actor, he is a LEGEND !!!

A friend of mine sent me today a video of some of the most spectacular / dangerous stunts of Jacky Chan, and I decided to put on my Wixi the video plus a full reportage on Jacky Chan stunts!

Check it out and tell me if you’re a big fan too

Photo taken at office the other day, we had a nice rainbow just in front of us!
Cheer up

I don’t like categorizing someone just with a few words, I find it so much disrespectful and unpersonnal.
I think it’s impossible to judge someone at the first glance, and even though you know people for years you are still surprised by their character and behaviour.

However, on the Internet, this is totally another story: people have integrated “tags” (aka small words) to categorize and describe anything and everything.

Well, while I was doing some research and staying updated on the latest technology & web 2.0 news, I found that Quintura (a new kind of search engine), which shows you offering a widget that showed the tags cloud related to any search you make.

So I played with it a bit and searched for my name: “borget sebastien“:

And in reverse order (funny thing, it gave slightly different results): “sebastien borget“:

This gives some interesting information on all tags associated with my activity on the web, and how people can find my website by googling (or using Quintura ^^)

However, to the question: “Am I only defined by these small words ?“, I reply that obviously not, this is not me, this is just the way you find me on the Internet

Tout simplement inoubliables, ce sont 3 heures de grand frisson pendant lesquelles la magie s’opère par la danse, le chant, les costumes, les effets spéciaux, la musique pour marquer à toujours ma tête et mon coeur

Voici comment je résume le Roi Lion, la comédie musicale adaptée du dessin animé éponyme, à laquelle j’ai assisté samedi soir!

Le spectacle entier, du début à la fin, était vraiment sublime, et les voix des chanteurs portaient continuellement. En sus, bien au delà de nous rappeller nostalgiquement le dessin animé, le spectacle introduit des nouvelles chansons et scènes d’une grande qualité. Les effets spéciaux sur les décors sont vraiment superbement réalisés aussi, et dès la première scène avec le sacre du jeune lionceau Simba, on est bluffé par le rocher du lion et la savane. Une autre scène particulièrement réussie est celle de la fuite du troupeau dans le canyon, suivie de la mort de Muphasa.

Quant aux chanteurs / interprétateurs, les performances de Zazzoo, Timon, Rafiki et Simba (jeune et adulte) ont été bluffantes, et tout amateur que je sois, j’ai trouvé cela vraiment génial, on rigole, on vibre, on chante, on applaudit !!!

J’ai acheté le CD musical et depuis je continue de l’écouter en boucle pour vous dire tellement j’ai étais ravi !

Petit conseil pour profiter de la meilleure expérience: c’est peut-être cher, mais c’est tellement sensationnel que ca en vaut le coup, optez directement pour les places à 100 euros, ne choisissez pas les places en balcon, uniquement celles en bas, de préférence dans une série de rangée de A (le top) à Q (après vous commencerez à être un peu éloigné en fond de salle).

Hakuna Matata, ne manquez pas ce spectacle !!!

Hi all,

I wish a Happy Chinese New Year to all my asian friends & readers Year 2008 is the Year of the Rat, which comes to be also my chinese astrological sign, so I hope it will bring a LOT of good things for all rats !!!

I went to see yesterday a “traditional” walk of the dragon with the Flying Chinese Dragon, the Lions, and people wearing traditional clothes. It was nice as you can see on the pics and videos!

I am back from London, which is really a great city with many many places to see: museums, monuments, pubs, …

If you want to spend a nice week-end, I really advice you to go there. It’s a bit more expansive than Paris, but life is good, city is animated almost all day, people are … “british” :p

You can find the pics of all places I visited here:

Next place I want to go to: Germany !

Wish you all the best for 2008 !!!
