Things to do with a old computer

Linux is an open source OS that you can install on your old computer and use it as a everyday computer, for those of you out there that are not geeks that just basically means its a OS like windows XP that people give away free that you can use. You could do endless things with linux and there is a distribution to suit every computer. Ubuntu - This is for some of the better spec computers out there. Its is the most like proper a OS and it is the most user friendly.

about My First Tweet

I have been thinking a lot lately about the idea that the web is just a giant social experiment and we are all amateur anthropologists. So with that in mind I decided to build My First Tweet . The idea is simple, create a giant database of people's first words on Twitter so that we can all analyze them. Once the dataset is of reasonable size I plan on releasing it to the world to play with (after all, we should all get the chance to be amateur anthropologists, right?) http://myfirsttweet.com/about.php

Montréal Pecha Kucha Night

Il est temps de célébrer chaque ville qui organise un PechaKucha. Cette année, un événement international les réunit lors de cette semaine particulière. Chacune de ces villes PechaKucha concentrera son attention sur sa spécificité, et toutes réunies composeront la communauté mondiale PKN. Les soirées PechaKucha sont de véritables plateformes d’échanges et de rencontres interdisciplinaires organisées avant tout avec l’objectif d’offrir une tribune publique aux créateurs de tous horizons.
http://plateforme.tk/presentation.html Plateforme est une structure indépendante, autogérée et autofinancée. Espace de diffusion, de création et de ressource pour l'art contemporain, il fonctionne comme un espace partagé et fédérateur au sein duquel les artistes se réunissent dans la volonté d'une synergie des potentiels imaginatifs, créatifs et des compétences de chacun pour proposer une expérience alternative. Chaque mois, Plateforme présente une exposition d’environ deux semaines suivie d’une programmation plus évènementielle (performances, projections, etc.) tournée essentiellement vers l'expérimentation et la recherche. La sélection est orientée vers des pratiques artistiques exigeantes.

presentation

http://pecha-kucha.org/ PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. PechaKucha for Haiti, biggest distributed conference with smallest ecological footprint, raises money for Architecture for Humanity : TreeHugger Now, in collaboration with TED Prize Winner Cameron Sinclair’s Architecture for Humanity they are setting up an audacious way to mark the seventh anniversary: a “wave” of events in 24 hours, all around the globe to raise money for a cause that’s important to the TEDxTokyo community.
