Patagoniacs

Dive deep inside !

Sun today, it smells like spring time. Really dreaming about getting caught inside. Couldn't stop me buying the last 2 issues of Surfer's journal yesterday, and now looking at the new FCD patagonia surf catalog

Where to buy Patagonia wetsuits ?

For those willing to chill out in nice cold waves this winter, you can now buy Patagonia wetsuits in France and Europe. 

The list of dealers is here (download)

Cyclemeter

After the Lomography app, shakeit, tiltshiftgen, I am glad to present you Cyclemeter.
Have an iPhone, don't want to invest in a gps or a watch calculating your speed etc (got one ...) ? Then the cyclemeter app is made for you.
Maps, speed, distance, log files, etc etc. All what you need for your training. Just have to buy a waterproof pocket to carry it under heavy rains and you're ready for winter season !

Lomography and instant fun

Thanks to Stephane because he made me discover a new world. The Lomography world. Somehow close to what I started to do with some iPhone apps (shakeit, tilttrucmachingen), the lomo world is full of freedom and rules (first paradox). It is also a mix between "all now and quick" and "take your time to enjoy life". If I haven't bought yet a lomo kit, I started with the Lomography iPhone app. And it's fun.

Nau way !

Thanks to Woolard blog. I discovered a brand in his posts. NAU. Look nice. And they say "not just another outdoor company"
Probably true, and good to see that such ideas are growing, in the same kind of spirit than Patagonia 30 years ago.
Good luck Nau.

VIVE KAILLOUX !!!

The famous brand "kailloux" is launching its new organic coton t-shirts !!!
As Romu says in its email, it is not a "marketing" move but something obvious to save the planet :-)
Hey, Romu, and if it helps selling more t-shirts, it's good too :-))
So go on the WEB 2.0 e-commerce website of Kailloux, and (if you need one), buy a nice T-shirt to go climbing

(made by climbers, for climbers)

Cold, cool, Fous ta cagoule !

When it's cold, when you want to avoid this hard cold strike on your forehead when the set is on you, when you are afraid of the wipeout because the water is too cold ... Then you have one solution :
FOUS TA CAGOULE ! !!!

The Patagonia websuit :-)

When looking at the statistics on this blog, I see that a lot of people are finding this blog using Google, and making queries on the Patagonia Wetsuit.
Ali posted a comment where he says :

"Thanks so much for this PDF with details of Patagonia's new wetsuit.  I ended up buying the suit [...]"

Well, you are welcome Ali, and thank you for the link to the Unofficial website about the Patagonia wetsuit. This is a really good initiative.
Nice pictures, and very good guide to show the product in details, with its efficiency.

After the patagonia wetsuit, we have the patagonia websuit :-))

book, birds.

"c'est une histoire d'amour dont les episodes ont ete melanges par un fou"
( "it is a love story, chapters of which has been messed up by a madman")

The new Amelie Nothomb book "Journal d'hirondelle"
I liked many of her books, always a pleasure to read them, quick, intense. I really liked the sentence I quote in this post, that's what made me bought it.
I'll tell you more once I've finished to read it.

(ps : picture extracted from a "Flou artistique" period of my new artist life. I let my camera drives me among the different kinds of "artistic moments" the technology dictates me :-))
