Yo participe en una competencia de 5 kms para cyclos, con mi unicyclo...

et ils m'ont appelle sur le podium parce que j'ai gagne!!! (un teeshirt et une casquette, par tirage au sort ;) )

and I was called on the podium because I won!!!! (a teeshirt and cap through a random draw ;) )

y me llamaron en el podium para darme un premio!!! (un sweater y una gora, porque me elijaron al azard ;) )

J'aurais prefere un baiser des jolies clowns, mais je suis content quand meme.

I would have prefered a kiss from the cute clowns, but I am still happy.

Me gustaria mas un beso de las lindas pallasas, pero estoy feliz igual.

Music!

Went to a musical BBQ this Saturday, being invited at one after failing to organize so many of them. It was a blast, I taught some percussion and xaphoon to a 7 year old kid, made some new friends, and we agreed to play together more regularly, starting next Saturday.

I don't have pictures nor video nor recording of the event, but you can enjoy instead the musical lecture about improvisation by Jennifer Lin. Do not miss her analogy between composing and drawing comics! She is right on point, I would make the same analogy with etching a glass or writing a scientific paper, which I think of as an art as well...

Musical Video

	A demonstraton of two well known sorting algorithms, in 3 dimensions and put in music.
	The algorithms featured are Insertion sort and Merge sort, on a permutation of the eight numbers 0 to 7, each represented by a 3d text representation of itself, of increasing size and (tentatively) colors ordered as in a rainbow. The animation is designed to show the cost in comparisons but also in the number of moves. Both algorithms are performing much better than their worst case, which makes the demonstration shorter, but still Insertion sort is slower than Merge sort. The music is arranged so that the instruments are introduced one by one during the insertion sort, while the melodies of the two main instruments are merging during merge sort.
	The video was generated using Alice (www.alice.org) and edited using iMovie, and the music was recorded using Garageband. You are welcome to use this video if you wish in any non-commercial application, if acknowledging my authorship.

J'adore les endroits concus pour eduquer les enfants en les amusant.	I love places conceived to educate children while amusing them.	Me encantan los lugares donde educan los ninos al mismo tiempo que entretienen ellos.
