Garoo

My name is Cédric Bozzi and this is my blog. Well… mostly, this is a rerun of all my tweets and the photos I publish on Instagram, but sometimes there might be an actual article or two.

I make websites and iPhone apps, try my best to own one of every item in Apple’s current product lineup, spend my entire life on the internet, and am looking for a flat in Paris.

Sur Twitter : @garoo, @ff00aa and @bewarethefrog — plus @garoodotnet which notifies of new articles on this blog.

The beginning of Game of Thrones' season 2 was a bit hit-and-miss and made me want to read the books first — now I'm changing my mind again.

 

Don't tell anyone, but I think my web server has been configured by a lunatic.

 

Nope, it did not occur to me until right now that I might want to have some usage statistics on Tarot Royale's new sharing functionality.

 

Ca sert à quelque chose, de rajouter des trucs dans l'eau des oeufs durs pour les parfumer, ou ça change rien ?

Disabling Lion's automatic app termination

Gotten somewhat used to tolerating it, but can't see any reason _not to disable it.

 

Oh, better yet: unlimited rewind, à la Braid. Now that's exactly what a Hitman game needs. As soon as the next generation of consoles has enough RAM for that.

 

It would "just" need to be smart enough not to drop you back in a situation where you're about to be detected no matter what you do.

 

Wouldn't the key to enforced-stealth missions be smart checkpointing that takes you back to the moment before you were detected?

 

A growing number of my contacts actually go to the gym now: sign of the times, or sign of our aging? (That's a rhetorical question.)

 

Well, I'll never know what's new in Coda 2 because it's all in a video with no playback controls that stutters on my slow connection.

 

Awesome episode of Girls this week, that hits particularly close to home for obvious reasons, and I don't mean the sex, I'm not a talker.

 

21 may.

John Carter — I appreciate the earnestness, and the eye candy, but that story needed to stay in 1912 where it belongs, seminal or not.

 

I hadn't had an app rejected in a while. It's so humiliating.

 

Lady and the Tramp — Annoying as hell. There's almost only one good scene, and everybody knows it by heart.

 

20 may.

The Ides of March — Can't say it's bad, but I don't see how any of this was worthy of a movie. Oh, and the note bluff was stupid.

 

Using a Nokia Lumia 900 as a hammer

Wow. I don't think you could do that with an iPhone — and I'm not trying.

 

Apple iPhone Charger Teardown

"The circuit to do this is surprisingly complex and innovative."

 

19 may.

Le bal des actrices — Parfait contrepoint à Midnight in Paris: aussi narcissique et aussi artificiel, et pourtant authentique, touchant et drôle.

 

Midnight in Paris — Wow, this could be the most vomit-inducing, intellectually insulting, unabashed Mary Sue of all time. "Look at how much Hemingway and Gertrude Stein would have loved me and my writing if they'd only known me!"

 

Le montage de plans fixes touristiques en ouverture de Midnight in Paris, ou le degré zéro de la cinématographie.

 

Nothing makes you less qualified to run Community than being willing to take it over this way. Imagine any of the characters doing that?

 

18 may.

Jurassic Park has aged incredibly well. Some puppet shots are a bit too noticeable, but the CG is somehow still flawless.

 

I'm not sure I've laughed out loud once at Modern Family this year.

 

17 may.

DayZ looks amazing

And I don't even like zombie games. Watch the whole series (via the PC Gamer podcast).

 

The Artist — Au-delà du gimmick, le vide, l'ennui, et la tête de Dujardin, tout le temps, partout. Béjo sauve tous les plans où elle apparaît, mais ils sont trop peu nombreux.

 

Je ne sais pas si c'est le beau temps, ou juste mes dents qui ne se souviennent plus de la douleur après un mois, mais j'ai des putain d'envies de Coca en ce moment.

 

Mike Capps' Twitter account is @epicactual. Love it. Too bad I don't actually like my own company's name.

 

Submarine — Well written, cast, and acted, but slaughtered by the obnoxious directorial affectations. Who'da thunk Ayoade was a hipster.
