R.I.P. Carlos

From “Carlos salué une dernière fois par ses amis du show-biz“:

Les fleurs criardes des chemises hawaïennes qui lui étaient chères, le blanc des légendaires fêtes d’Eddie Barclay à Saint­-Tropez : pour une fois, ce n’est pas le noir qui a dominé lors d’obsèques ­à l’église Saint-­Germain-des-Prés, hier matin, pour le dernier adieu à Carlos, disparu jeudi dernier à l’âge de 64 ans.

This one will surely mean nothing to anyone who hasn’t spent part of their life living in France, but will be a very sad news for anyone who has.

Although information is scarce on the English Wikipedia, you can still find some information on his more than extensive career in the French entertainment scene.

Rest in peace Carlos, and thank you so very much for the countless hours of joy you brought me as a child.

Michael's StartupCampMontreal Roundup

Since I’m way too busy to provide my own today, here’s a quick link to Michael Boyle’s great roundup of last night’s StartupCampMontreal:

Last night was Montreal’s first StartupCamp, which was held at the fabulous facilities of the SAT on St-Laurent just below Ste-Catherine. It was a very well-run event that featured 5 interesting startups and a couple of great keynote speeches bracketing the startup presentations.

I had a lot of fun attending and networking with my peers. *Camps rock!
