I have a blog since 2003, and I've always been passionate about writing on it. I also have been an editor for Mobifrance and other websites for more than 6 years. I'm also spending time on some of the best social networks and web services which you can find the list at the bottom of the page.

I also love traveling, planes, learning about new technologies and going out with my camera.
