		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s talk about media today. And ways to inform one&#8217;s self. A few weeks ago, I saw this pictures. Spot on. Since then, it is festering in my brain. The amount of info put out on the Internet each day is staggering. Millions of new posts every day. What do we do? We binge. We infobinge. Like food, we swallow tons of articles, that we received from various sources, a friend, a colleague, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. I do the same. Another recent thought I had: all these articles, am I trying to learn new things ? Or am I <a href="http://the1440minutes.com/blog/news-stop-validating/">...

		<description><![CDATA[It is 635pm sunday as I write this. I am on board the TGV to Lille. Before leaving my place, I fully charged my iPhone 4S. On the way, I took a bus to the train station, where I listened on my iPhone to some music. At the train station, to kill time (love this expression by the way), I sent a few text messages, few emails, I scanned the news (I did not READ the news, I SCANNED the news like everybody does although it is a complete waste of time). I sent an LinkedIn invite. When the time <a href="http://the1440minutes.com/blog/no-tech-in-train/">... Read the rest of the post →</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who has never been bothered by a sales call ? Your phone rings and you answer automatically. Without looking at who&#8217;s calling. Sometimes, it is from an unknown number. I dislike people who hide their identity. Hence, I never pick up the phone when there is written: &#8220;Unknown number&#8221;. I just cut the ringer off. Who dares interrupting me without giving its name ? If they leave a voice mail, that&#8217;s ok. But 99% of the time, they do not. Because they are telemarketers.

		<description><![CDATA[I am always amazed when I meet someone to see on his or her locked phone, several notifications. People put their phone on the table, that&#8217;s the way it goes now. I already blogged about it. Notifications gives you a good sense of what is important for people. For instance, on many phones I see, I recognise the Facebook icon, the twitter icons, emails; news from various apps. Fair enough, technology enables this. Be informed in real time. It is cool in a way. But also, who cares ? Seriously, so what ? What impact on your day ?

Time you are going to spend on customer X, or project Y ? Your kids ? Your significant other ? What chunk of time did you lock ? Why ? I know it is very trivial but time management is.

Let&#8217;s all do this test tomorrow: Every times you look to see if you have new mails, draw a little stroke. Every 4 strokes, the fifth crosses the other 4. In 3 to 5 days, ask yourself this.

		<description><![CDATA[I hate definitive sentences. What i mean by &#8220;definitive&#8221;, it is the small sentence you hear from people stating a fact. It sounds a bit like; &#8220;I am terrible at math&#8221; &#8220;I am crap with foreign languages&#8221; &#8220;I am not a fan of reading&#8221; &#8220;I am really bad at cooking&#8221; &#8220;I will never be able to do X&#8221; etc etc You may have said a sentence like this yourself in the last 24 hours. Well; my opinion ? It is dumb. Nothing is settled forever. Of course, there are limits. I will never play rugby with the French national team. <a href="http://the1440minutes.com/blog/unlearn-before-you-learn/">... Read the rest of the post →</a>]]></description>

Never heard such BS. Even during election time. Replace it by Microsoft Word. Come on this is a joke right ? Nope. We are not April 1st. Like this article in the New York Times,  I believe technology can wait. It is simpler and simpler. We don&#8217;t need to teach our kids this. This is stupid.

He was the one turning off the lights and puting on the alarm. Every night. Monday to Friday. He was married. At that time, there was no Internet. What was he doing past 7pm ? You could see him going through newspapers. One night, I saw him playing solitaire on his Windows 3.1 machine. Solitaire.  What time did he arrive in the office in the morning ?

How I used Evernote for my job search. My article has now received several hundred hits I thought it would be a good idea to perform a hangout. Plus, if people have questions.

		<description><![CDATA[In his book &#8220;See no evil&#8221;, ex-CIA operative Robert Baer talks in great lenght about something called HUMINT. HUMINT stands for Human intelligence. He describes how the CIA at one point, relied too much on computers, satellites and technology to track people and ideas. How the CIA decided to remove operatives from the ground and replace them with satellites. We know the dire consequence of this. Namely, 9/11. A satellite however precise it might be, will never be able to read a person&#8217;s mind. That&#8217;s why we need HUMINT to know, through discussions, meetings, late night discussion in smoky bars, crowded <a href="http://the1440minutes.com/blog/the-cia-and-networking/">...
