About Me: I'm half french, half swedish. I'm a skater/nerd/journalist/podcaster. I live in Paris, France. I've been skating since "Back to the Future". I started 2 magazines, for which I was Chief Editor. One about skateboarding (Tricks - RIP). It was sold in France and other french speaking crountries from 1997 to 2006. And one about street cultures, music and graphism (www.clarkmagazine.com). Since September 2005, I'm doing my own video podcast : www.StreetSmartCoolCat.com It's a show about the ongoing globalization of culture, mainly based on street cultures and digital lifestyle. Go to the website and subscribe for free, with one click on the iTunes button ! This way, you'll receive future episodes automatically. I also upload each video to all the video sharing websites (like YouTube, Google Videos, AOL Uncut, etc. - once you're on one of these sites, search for "Street Smart Cool Cat" and my videos will pop up !). I'm also the hero of an upcoming Atari video game : www.hotpxl.com ! At first I started working on the video game as a Creative Director.. But people at zSlide and Atari liked my podcast so much that they also wanted me to be the hero !! Tha game comes out Summer 2007, for Sony's PSP and PCs. You can see my first tuned board (with plasma screen, neon, luxurious cushioning...) in Episode 6 of my podcast (www.streetsmartcoolcat.com). Episodes 7 and 8 are the "follow-up" and the "making of"... One more thing : as a guy told me in the comments of one of my YouTube videos... I dress like Ali G and speak like Borat !
