Coffee and clarity. ☕️

Wednesday morning run after dropping my daughter off at school, followed by a coffee date with my wife at the local neighbourhood café by the canal.

With things being quite frustrating at work lately ahead of my departure in 2 weeks, this little Wednesday morning routine is exactly what I need for my own sanity before diving into the day.

A man wearing earphones is taking a selfie on a bridge near a river during a morning run, with Strava stats showing a distance of 6.73 km, time of 43 minutes 10 seconds, and a pace of 6:25 per km.A pedestrian bridge runs alongside a calm river with trees and buildings visible in the background under a clear sky.A calm river or canal flows through a cityscape with buildings on one side and a tree-lined walkway on the other, while a person walks along the water's edge.A man and a woman are sitting at an outdoor table near the water, with the woman eating a pastry and the man smiling at the camera.A partially eaten piece of chocolate cake and a cup of coffee rest on a wooden table with a blurred cyclist riding by a waterfront in the background.

Amazing night seeing A$AP Rocky earlier this week!

The show started with the AWGE Paris Fashion Week runway show (Rocky’s fashion label), which they ran at the arena a few hours before the show.

Then the concert started and turned the whole thing upside down.

A$AP Rocky was never the most skilled rapper, but he has always been one of the more creative artists in his scene. The man knows how to put up a show!

Final day at my job today. A new era begins next week.

Happy to be back to my second home for our season opener!

Something I’m taking into my next job:

If I share an asynchronous update with my team, no one is getting me to run a 15-30mn meeting going through the damn update 🙃

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Resident Evil

Bumped into my friend who had booked the exact same screening three seats away.

Both a lot funnier and a lot jump-scarier, body-horror galore, and quite a different take from the past movies and Saga. And yet it feels very faithful to the video games!

A lone figure stands on a snowy forest road illuminated by a car's headlights, with the title Resident Evil displayed at the bottom.

I’ll forever regret not being able to attend a Mac Miller concert.

Mac —as well as Prince— is an artist that left us before I got the chance to see them perform live.

If you can afford it, definitely go see your favorite artists. Human connection is all we got!

Dang Apple Music Hall (mouthful!) looks gorgeous! (opening up inside London’s old iconic Battersea Power Station)

8 days to go til I finish this chapter of my professional career

A group of friends is gathered around a long table at a casual outdoor setting, enjoying drinks and smiling for a celebratory photo.

I’d rather have a seat at the table than a comment in the section.

Well played @nalden

🤘 🎸 Back from this wonderful insanity — really glad I got to see you with a good friend too! IYKYK

Two men are smiling and posing for a selfie in front of a door with a framed poster above it.A colorful, cartoon-style poster for a documentary film celebrating 40 years of the punk rock band NOFX features caricatures of the band members around a graffiti-covered van and a pool.

Happy Apple OS upgrade day to all those who celebrate! 🍎 🖥️ 📱 🤖 ⚙️

Something I actually haven’t blogged about: a neighbor in the building next door was selling this vintage bike for a cool 50€. So I bought it, sent it down to the shop for some upgrades and maintenance, and now I’ve got a brand new Vintage bike. Very excited to ride it all over town for my solo trips & commutes!

IT’S MARISA TOMEI

As a huge Blink and Travis fan I have actually his memoir about a year ago, so the first half was essentially a visualizer from the book, but nonetheless, what a guy!

Stoked to have found tickets for the Paris Screening of NOFX’s documentary on Sept. 17!

Amazing day today with our friends/neighbors. Our daughters are born 6 months apart but will start school together next month, in the same class.

The day started with a children-friendly screening at the cinema (in the Kids Screening Room, co-designed with LEGO), a lovely picnic in the part, and — a guilty pleasure— the museum exhibition of the summer: Beyond The Streets, a street art retrospective at Villette !

A scene from an animated movie featuring a talking worm and a butterfly is being projected in a movie theater with a few people seated in the audience.A family is enjoying a picnic on a colorful blanket in a grassy park area with various items and a stroller nearby.A gallery space features various colorful artworks on the walls and people, including a woman pushing a stroller and a child walking alongside her, exploring the exhibits under the sign TAKI 183.A cozy, oversized cushioned seat with red and white stripes is set against a pink wall adorned with music event posters and a skateboard deck featuring a red and white design.A little girl in a blue dress holds hands with her reflection while standing in front of a mirrored wall filled with rows of colorful cans.A spacious art gallery features various contemporary artworks, including a colorful mural, whimsical cartoon-like characters on a display, and a black and white patterned installation that visitors are observing.Four pixelated alien figures are displayed on a wall, each created with contrasting colored squares on individual rectangular canvases.

We were missing a couple of (exciting) signings to wrap up the off-season, and this might just be it! #ParisPourParis
