After looking in my old bookmarks to check if that fine conference -about para-glider and its connection with social work- was still alive, I just discovered :

Another of those free variant of the googleverse. It's a lost cause of David Vs Goliath. Except David doesn't even try to strike Goliath, he's just trying to get as buff as the giant..

I still check from month to month :

I came for a silly game made 14 years ago and updated by a Belgium dude and about political parody. I stayed for the forum, or the nostalgia.

When I discovered the zetetique movement I spent some time on a Canadian skeptic website :

When I grew an interest for space I checked :

putting together most of the news related to astronomy (exploration, new planet, theory, photos, what's notable in the sky that month , etc)

I still chill with some of the games by

The studio where the creator of the Haxe language started his career.

But right now I almost never check any french website, So I'd also like some recommendation.
