About D10 - AllThingsD

About D10 - AllThingsD:
Welcome to D, an executive conference unlike any other.

It starts this week!

The video archives of previous AllThingsD are interesting to watch!
This is the conference organized by the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.

"D is different from other conferences: no canned speeches, no marketing pitches, and no bull. Instead, creators and executive producers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher put the industry’s top players to the test during unscripted conversations about the impact digital technology will have on our lives now and in the future. The results are unprecedented glimpses into the ideas and strategies of the industry’s most creative thinkers."

See you on Friday.

Here are some Steve Jobs presentation techniques presented on EnglishCentral.com...

This is a great website for you to practice speaking! It'll record, evaluate and let you compare your intonation and speech with the original.

Try it! It's great fun... and of course there are many videos for you to choose from.

More soon.  See you all tomorrow!  We'll have two guests so food and drink and things to nibble on are very welcome!

(We're in F609).

ZIG ZAG - Portes ouvertes des ateliers d’artistes de Gentilly - 2012

Of course my students are invited too... but don't come on Friday, that's when we'll be having class! Saturday or Sunday afternoon is fine!  By the way, the 57 bus stops in front of my door... (the "rue d'Arcueil" bus stop) otherwise it's 10 minutes from the back exit of the RER Gentilly (just after the Cité U).
