Hello, I'm Fred!

We should cherish feedbacks.

Everywhere I go I like to take pictures of beautiful street art, but there is another form of street art that I like: street music.

People are always telling me that I’m lucky to be an extravert, that it’s nice that speaking in front of people doesn’t scare me or that I have the power to do everything I want because of my personality.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1dPimfh I evangelised mobile first, and responsive web design for years now.

I’m a big fan of the FITC conferences in Toronto: there always a lot of good talks, amazing people, and a creative flow all over the place.

As you don’t like something, it makes total sense that others shouldn’t like it too.

Yesterday, someone told me that I should start looking for a new job as Mozilla is working to diversify is source of revenue by showing ads on new tab tiles.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1iQeTgZ I appreciate all the feedbacks you gave me for previous travel destinations, so I’ll continue to do those posts in the future.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1lLn7bu I know; many people don’t like this rock star or ninja terms to qualify an exceptional developer, but it’s still a good way to share the information.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1g31Ok3 One thing I like to do when someone ask me to speak at their event, is to let them know that they can count on an experienced, professional, and authentic speaker.

Le 25 mars prochain aura lieu la soirée Marvin on the Rock au théâtre L’Olympia à Montréal.

Congratulations, you are wearing a helmet while riding your bicycle, and I’m pretty sure it changes nothing that it’s not fastened.

Il y a quelques mois, je mentionnais sur ce blogue que je n’allais pas faire de deuxième édition du FailCamp Montréal.

Do you think personal branding is not for you?

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1dqsh5W I remember when I started as a Technical Evangelist: I wanted to know everything, and I was feeling bad when I didn’t know something.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1bniw8U I’ve never been a very active person, but it wasn’t a problem, until a couple of years ago.

Treating your potential customers like idiots is probably the best way to conclude a sale.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1n7nPys Wearing a suite was part of my day to day life a couple of years ago.

I remember my first flight: I was a bit stressed as it was a total new world for me.

As I said in my post about creating slides worth of showing them, I’m taking two courses now, and one of them is about photography.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1fdBeDQ Don’t get me wrong: I’m a huge fan of quality over quantity.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1b4RcfA Since two weeks, I’m back on the school bench: I’m taking a wine course from the SAQ, and a photography one from Collège Marsan (in French).

Il y a de cela quelques mois, j’étais présentateur pour la première édition à Montréal du Kongossa Web Séries, un forum sur la technologie, le développement social et économique.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1fc6F24 Yesterday, I was part of a panel on communication, and connection.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1dYwXV5 I just check-in at my hotel in San Francisco, and I have a couple of hours to do whatever I want: tomorrow it will be full day of interviews at Mozilla.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/19LIR51 Don’t get me wrong, I have a really, really, really high preference on everything that is Open, but when it gets to get the work done, I’ll use the software that fills my needs.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/19L7aQL In the last three months, I got two specific occasions where someone lacked of respect towards me.

I love books.

A helmet won’t be of any help if you have an accident while riding your bicycle.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1d8rLt9 Most of the conferences have one rule for their speakers: no product pitch.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1hnKAh6 I was watching Rick Restorations show on the television the other day: it’s a kind of reality show about a restorer, who obviously restore old objects to their initial state, and make them a piece of art.

Saturday morning, I was waiting at the airport for my flight to San Francisco.

On the evening of the 23rd of January, I’ll be a speaker on a panel about communication, and connection with amazing people like Rami Sayar (more to be announce soon).

I wanted a logo, and I also wanted to try 99designs as I heard a lot about it in the startups space: since this logo was just for fun, and not a real need, I thought I could try it.

I’m pretty sure that being nice isn’t a requirement or would be of any help if you work at customers service position.

Since a couple of months, I found a passion for street art.

I know this series of post annoy some people, but trust me, it’s not to brag about my travel!

Yesterday, I was in Toronto to share some Firefox OS love with my Canadian friends.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1cB9LKZ People often tell me that I share a lot of things on the Web: it’s true.

Creative Commons: https://j.mp/1geejb0 I like to travel.

A little less than one month ago, I was writing about a presentation on Firefox OS I’ll do at Mobile Startups Toronto in January.

Don’t give any details about the differences between the free, and the paid version of your application: I’m pretty sure it won’t help you to sell more software.

Since last year, thanks to my friend Fabrice Calando who introduced me to the concept, I’m choosing three words that will guide me through the new year.
