Everything is a Remix, the final episode

This is both a good and a bad news: The fourth episode of the series of videos “Everything is a Remix” by Kirby Ferguson is now online. The bad news is that it’s the last of the series.

If you’ve never heard about these 20 minutes videos – actually you should if you follow me as I talked about the previous episode last year on my tumblr – I suggest that you start by watching the first episode, and then the following.

This last episode comes in a perfect timing, as the discussions around ACTA, SOPA and PIPA are hot topics at the moment. This is a great content, and if you like it, you can donate some money to help and support the costs.

Et voilà. C’est un peu mon running gag à moi chaque année depuis trois ou quatre ans.

Be happy et bon courage pour la reprise en 2012, une année qui promet d’être… comment dire ? Disons “pleine de challenges” pour rester positif !
