“Them kids is all iCrazy!!!”
The Web Query as Virtual Currency
Within an hour of posting the Gameful project on Kickstarter, Jane McGonigal had already been entirely backed for the 2000$ she was asking for. I bet she and her partners had a Fiero moment. This was about 24 hours ago, and now the project has already fetched over 9000$.
What is the project itself, Gameful, which located in San Francisco?
“Q:What is Gameful?
“A: Gameful is an online Secret HQ for gamers and game developers who want to help change the world and make our real lives better. Think of it as a cross between a professional network and a creative brainstorming space. The goal is to make it easy for anyone making or playing world-changing games to find collaborators, mentors, jobs, ideas, and funding. And of course, to discover fun new games to play.”

Hommage à Dave St-Pierre (Danse)
This is a group photo of participants in the Mashable Meetup in Montréal, Qc, on the 8th of August, 2010.
This afternoon, I recorded two short videos, Take One & Take Two, for my music/video project called The Deconstruction of Bop.
With Take Three, I played a solo over the audio of Take Two, jamming with myself, while listening to myself play Take Two on the computer screen.
The result is a mix of two separate piano performances mixed one on top of the other, both played by myself, Marc-Alexandre Gagnon.
Sometimes it’s difficult to tell which part is which in the duet, which I think adds a layer of fun atop of the whole thing.
Bebop to me is meant to represent the highest of human joys; bop jazz is pure joy & jubilation. It can get nasty at parts, and can oftentimes be very dark, but this piece to me is just fun, fun, fun.
I will be working on this project over the nextl little while, so keep in touch! This is The Deconstruction of Bop. :D

Suite à l’apparition du chorégraphe Dave St-Pierre sur le plateau de l’émission Tout Le Monde En Parle, Dimanche, le 9 mai, 2010, j’ai décidé de faire une série de blogues audios et vidéos à son sujet. Montage sonore et vidéo par Marc-Alexandre Gagnon
