UIIIII.... my new beautifull gear arrived, well packed, all in perfect condition and all bits and pieces there ;o)





Good stuff and with great price http://www.surfkeppler.de/

Can't wait to get on water... but this needs to be done first:

Out .....

Got finally going out of the climatized hotel room to walk the warm streets of this lovely city... 29C and like mother's milk ;o)

















Saturday would not be too bad either... too bad that I need to leave ;o) but will be nice to get back home again anyway

















Had a beer and a coffee outside and read more about Madrid... well to be honest fiddling occasionally your mobile phone anyway seems to sort of be an excuse to sit alone long time in a cafe ? Widsets is great for it since you actually always have something new instead of just checking if you'd have some new sms (which you most likely don't in 5 min intervals at Friday evening?) BTW, a really sad example of this was the guy sitting next to us on the way here in aeroplane - the guy was actually turning his mobile every half an hour or so on at 9km altitude to check if there was something new (which there "suprisingly" was not) until I "exploded" (after drinking 2 small bottles of wine to overcome my Finnish nature) and told him that if he does not stop that I'll kick his butt (well not axactly but something like that...) and that "I'm from a company which manufacturers mobile networks and I can tell that they do not work at 9km altitude so shut the thing down and stop that". Wierd shit ? the guy - not me ...?


















Few obs. along the walk .... This is how chips should be sold ;o)















and they were good...

This is what we should have instead of ever increasing copy-supermarkets...

















After some serious walking I headed back hotel. Typically I'm very skeptic on Hotel Restaurangs but the list looked good, so I went to the hotel's own restaurang (in skeptic mood). But what a surprise - I have not had such great food for "I-dont-remeber-fo-how-long"ish. NH Abascal had fantastic food ! Grilled Duck foie with aspargus and mango balsamic vinegar............................. great dessert too lemon yoghurt foam with choco chips and strawberries (served in a primitively pleasent and attractive form ;o)















Expect the unexpected ?

Really stupid... but oh so enjoyable

In Madrid, it's 27C outside .... and I spend 45 minutes in hot bath, healing my aching back, watching Guy Cribb's excellent INtuition Cybing and Core skills movie (I wish I would have had it few years ago) and drinking few beers. Irrationally stupid but great quality time ?

...and the new gear (lot's of it ;o) waiting at home thanks to Surf Keppler !

Arska !

Arnold is really starting look like statesman and credible politician ... the image of him as Terminator (and as legendary "Pökkelö näyttelijän perikuva") has started to fade away. He seems to be also doing and talking the right things. Way to go Arska !

Seeing the world... not

One day in'n'out to Paris ... besides having a chance to speak about a dear thing ;o) the only good part was this:

















and even it was in the airport.

Katariinan Kahvimylly...

Mom has been recommending Katariinan Kahvimylly cafe for long time .... in Hartola "in the middle of very little". Great cakes !

Rauhan ja rentoutumisen tyyssija....

Hermo lepää ja elämä rullaa Pihtiputaalla... aina

Pihtipudas - the place to relax and reload for me ... again & always

Mieletön effekti...

... really like stepping to broadband from dial-up... fantastic end user experince effect !

I'm astonished, I'm delighted

Apple Safari for PC ...lightning speed

Just downloaded Apple's Safari browser to my PC - bloody amazing ... astonishing !! ... I did not know how much a browser can effect on speed. Safari is just simply so much FASTER than any other ! ... the defacto browser for me from now on.

Cool ! Good work Apple (and the open source community ;o)



I am just simply pleased - this is how things should be done so Steve and his team did it again

ps. and even the fonts and everything looks great ... makes me want a Mac ;o)

Bill ...

Bill was the "visiting pen" in Last weekend's Hesari. Bill will leave a mark to history ... well of course he has already left but I'm actually thinking of different kind of mark which is very very rare - Bill truly rocks.

New Genesis fan....

Great gig... far better than I hoped for. Good mix of great old songs which made it OK to listen to some newer pop songs too ;o)

Vili loved it - great !

so it is ;o)

Birds fly, fish swim, humans windsurf ;o)

http://www.surfshop-keppler.de/ and http://www.surfkeppler.de/ ... good stuff

Burn you sinner...

Windsurfing from 11:30 to 15:30 on Saturday, UV radiotation alert 6/7 (which I did not know of), no sun block... punishment for my pleasure:

Reina Sofia

More amazing actually than I expected to see Miro, Dali, Picasso,... and all those other great artists "live" on the walls.
Specifically these left a mark:
Manuel Valdes - Libros IV 1995
Yves Klein - Monocromo azul sin titulo 1957
Rosario de Valesco - Adan y Eva
...and thye a video installation with a wolf and a deer in totally white room - totally lost in that wierd environment.


... and from outside - Museum of Ham !
