What I do is actually content

Countless blog posts and videos have been telling me not to call what we do « content ». Devastatia wrote an almost-apology for talking about content when she’s talking about other people’s blogs. I understand why some would think they deserve better than that term − but I firmly believe that what I do is,…

Summer Olympics sports tier list

After 10 days of my life revolving around the Summer Olympics, I’m happy to present my tier list of Summer Olympics sports, as a spectator. This is not a scientific endeavour and it does reflect all my biases, including those against team sports and in favour of France. Top-tier, great craic These are absolutely incredible…

Joli coucher de soleil sur Saint-Malo

Phew, what a month! I started a 100 squats per day challenge, and lasted 28 days before realizing that not letting my knee get a single day of rest was not going to help with recovery, and then immediately bounced back with a one Commons photo per day challenge. I wrapped up my final projects…

pride is not a riot.

pride is a party, and that’s amazing news. pride is that one day when we get to fully celebrate who we are, and do it as a community, and stop having to fight. pride is the day when we remember our existence can exist outside of a riot, outside of defending ourselves. pride is the…

Récap de juin 2024 / June 2024 in review

It’s been an intense month − again! The month included a lot of documentation triage, so more papers & blog posts links than usual. This trend should keep going for another ~8 months if I manage to keep this rhythm (which is unlikely). During the month of June, here’s some stuff that happened: I went…

Une petite histoire en 20 ans

Vingt ans d’histoire sur glace (et surtout à côté), en 500 mots tout pile, qui m’ont servi de « lettre de motivation » pour porter la flamme olympique, ce que j’ai finalement fait hier à Valence. À quinze ans, après avoir fêté mon premier podium national en senior, j’ai quitté le foyer familial, arrêté l’école,…

Recap of my 2024 Interrail cross-European trip

A month and a half after my European Interrail trip, I finally feel like writing my recap. Phew! In short: it was amazing, you should do it too, and train travel is the best. And now, a longer version… steps: 403 036. That’s a bit less than 270 kilometers, with an average of 13 434…

Sur un mur de ciment, un tag dit « bonne fête maman je t'aime ».

Hi everyone! After the wonderful holidays and Interrail trip, May has been a month of rest, of mostly low energy, and of staying at home and trying not to go anywhere. I didn’t read much (compared to usual, that is), and my days were very filled between my job, my freelancing for Hylé (a great…

7 podcasts that I wish would come back

1 in 6 engineers This podcast was created by Mingshi Yang, an internationalization engineer at Meta, and gets its name from the fact that 1 in 6 engineers have work related to internationalization. It’s the shortest of the list with only 3 episodes, all of them fascinating and really well-written. One’s about encoding Myanmar languages…

Mon expérience après 4 ans d’Obsidian

Article J’avais dit, en 2020, que j’allais faire un article de blog entièrement consacré à mon utilisation d’Obsidian. On est en 2024 et il serait temps que je m’y mette : voici donc mon rapport à Obsidian. (Le titre de cet article est un mensonge, j’ai pas de date exacte sous la main mais il…
