Yippie!!! Lately I was checking the total amount of km the speedometer of my bike, I passed the 10,000 km limit. My speedometer actually restarted at 0 since it cannot display 10,000 .. so I was at the first view shocked, but then I understood 😉 . I don’t know about you, but I am indeed very proud of myself 😉 .

In Grenoble itself there isn’t really any snow, but we have the mountains all around and there you can find actually quite a lot! This weekend we went to Chamrousse (a ski resort close by) for some snowball fights and for some sledging 🙂 !

I have never put this online so far, but why not. This is a project that I was doing during an internship at the Center for Vision Research, in Toronto, Canada, in 2001/2002 .. it was my first real computer vision project 🙂 . The idea is simple, make music with your hand. It works as follows, the horizontal position controls the pitch of the note, with the fingers one can control effects (distortion, chorus, reverb, and pitch bend).

I updated the song ‘Café au Lait’. My colleague Diane helped in putting some parts of the lyrics right .. now the lyrics are perfect 🙂 . THANKS A LOT, DIANE!!!

Here are the lyrics:

Dans le café en bas de chez moi,
Il y a du monde.
Quand il fait beau tout le monde se voit.

Je descends au café en bas
Pour voire un copain.
J’arrive en retard, mais il n’est pas encore là
… tant pis, je commande

D’habitude, je préfère du thé
Aux senteurs de l’été!
Mais avec du sucre et beaucoup de lait…
… de temps en temps.

I finished another song that has been waiting for a while .. it needed still some lyrics, so I wrote some today, sang them in and mixed the final version. Note that the solo guitar has been recorded with iBook build-in microphone :).
