Back to my startup roots: Day one at Steerlab in the books as the founding Customer Success Manager!

Record Collection update: something for everyone! 🎵💿

…also we need to talk about the incredible work that the Mac Miller estate is doing on these 10th Anniversary editions: I picked up Good A.M. and should be getting Watching Movies With The Sound Off + The Divine Feminine anytime soon! 🥰

Amazing night seeing A$AP Rocky earlier this week!

10/2/26

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.

Rocky starting the show from inside the crowd, jumping and riding on mini helicopters
Special appearances from Rihanna, baby Riot, and Tyler the Creator
repeated mosh pits
great stage presence and vibes

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!

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!

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!

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.

The start to our August staycation holiday:

Visiting a farm outside of the city
Headed down to Sceaux to spend time in the royal park
And a lovely Chinese takeout discovery (been meaning to try Zhao’s for 7 years!)

Incredible mail day: the 15th-anniversary reissue of my favorite My Chemical Romance album "Danger Days: (The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys)" has landed at home — I was able to snag the Zoetrope edition!

Really interesting article!

Considering notifications/enshittification/social media/smartphone addiction, this isn’t half-bad of an idea. “The friction” being the point, part of the experience, is an interesting factor.

Made me want to unearth my OG 110GB iPod Classic — only I couldn’t quite find it this evening. Something fun to play with once I’m able to get my hands on it!

Very excited about Mail Day: #Muse #TheWOWSignal

I’ve been playing this album on repeat, streaming it, but getting my hands on a vinyl, part of the Space Mission back in March, makes it really special!
