		<title>Goulven du Trégor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week-end, at the Archeon, the Noorderwind had a show that turned out to be one of my best experience with the group. Here is a short report:

		<title>MZF and Cieden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Behind these two seemingly cryptic codes stand two of my current short and long term projects. 

The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy but in a good way. Lots of stuff going on simultaneously often is a sign of excitement and tiredness building up at the same time. In my case, it&#8217;s really been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Le bleu est une couleur chaude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Could it be that no book ever moved me as much as the graphic novel I just read and portrays characters I share nothing with?
 
Some of you might remember the few words I wrote a year ago about the operation against homophobia organized by a French graphic artist. I was very touched by her art [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planete Mirapole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then, I have a blog entry aimed at French speakers&#8230; Today is one of these days because I&#8217;ll be talking Planète Mirapole.

Planète Mirapole is a book written by Myriam Morand and published on lulu.com. I&#8217;ll write the plot below but, as you probably guessed from the introduction of this message, the book [...]]]></description>

This will be very short message because I intend to celebrate a little my 32th birthday but I also wanted to make this small update to my website. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The panther&#8217;s back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I posted a cover of the Pink Panther theme on this blog. Here, I&#8217;m breaking down precisely how I did it.

I assume you understand that by &#8220;how I did it&#8221;, I don&#8217;t mean putting the music online and typing my post. ^^ In fact, I was very pleasantly surprised to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music Box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For reasons I&#8217;ll detail in a further message, I tried to simulate a music box like the one on the picture below. Here&#8217;s how I did.

Don&#8217;t misunderstand the purpose of this message, it&#8217;s as much a call for feedback as a recipe to create &#8216;music box&#8217; effect. However, knowing that I have to improve the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dream Team 92</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Yann asked me once if I was still following  the NBA and what interested me in basket to begin with.

I won&#8217;t start a lengthy post about my passion for NBA (I&#8217;ll save that for another time if the Jazz do well in the forthcoming Playoffs) but I came across videos from the [...]]]></description>

I felt also a little guilty for not posting any update in 2 month on  this blog. So, after this tough wake-up, I decided it was about time to put online [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resolutions 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How about checking if we did follow our resolutions for 2009 before making new ones for 2010?
Well sadly enough the results are not so bright as far as I am concerned. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, 2009 was a great year for me but still&#8230;
Let&#8217;s check:
1- Finish my Ph-D: Done ! And properly done actually. That [...]]]></description>

 I was planing to type a message about my (failed) 2009 resolutions and those I want to really follow for 2010 but it will have to wait until tomorrow because of the strange e-mail I [...]]]></description>

&#8230;probably having that on the 1st rather than on the 11th, I guess. I hope you&#8217;ll like this video anyway! I confess it&#8217;s probably not as good as the one from last [...]]]></description>

 Nolife is a fairly recent French TV channel that is broadcast through ADSL boxes. So, if you live in France and if your internet provider is Free, Alice, SFR, orange or Bbox, you have access [...]]]></description>

If you are familiar with this blog, you probably recognized the star of the noorderwind. And you might even have understood why it&#8217;s here! Yes, [...]]]></description>

First I want to thank a lot Laurent, Quentin, Stephanie, Youval and David for all their help the day before. It was a very intensive and stressful day for me [...]]]></description>

The problem with scientific work is that you are all the time involved in several papers. They each go through many revision stages before being submitted to scientific journals. A few month later, [...]]]></description>
