And after the cow abduction, let’s remain in the animal world. A group of brave people installed a camera on top of an eagle, in order to study her behaviour and to understand a bit more about her wings’ aerodynamics and control… geeky, huh?

I know Susa was missing this, so let’s try to make it a fixed weekly appointment. The links on Albazilla’s sidebar, reviewed in brief, just to tickle your curiosity enough to click on it…
This one is Vasco’s (o Mestre) discovery: www.cowabduction.com.
In few words, a bunch of farmers is trying to discourage aliens which are kidnapping [...]

Microsoft Windows Vista will be the operating system of the future… in the sense that it will never be the one of this present time. Microsoft just declared that 60% of the code related to media features (which nowadays are involving every computing experience, even emailing) needs to be rewritten.

Safe and sound… too much sun still in our eyes, too many hrs. of lag to recover. These days Down Under went extremely fast (and far), like a beautiful and intense summer.
Thousands of pictures are waiting to be selected, for what will appear in the gallery (soon? gosh…) and in a Buities DVD to release [...]

We are in Sydney! After 2 days walking up and down the Blue Mountains, tons of pictures (you’ll see them soon… as soon as we go through them ), waterfalls, valleys, eucaliptus forests and roo-burgers (kangaroo-burgers), koalas, wallabees… now the city is waiting for us!
Thinking about you all, from the other side of the [...]

After celebrating Armando’s 30th birthday, we spent the last two days cruising along the Great Ocean Road, swimming in the ocean at 5 p.m., camping on its coasts, shaking koalas down their trees and walking on some forest top.

“Guys, we passed the Equator!” said Joao from row 45 of our British Airways Jumbojet at 11000 meters on the sea. And still 6 ours far from Melbourne… but eventually we did it. We’re Down Under!
I’m posting here few pics, with the first two taken in Singapore airport (finally walking after 13 hours flight!) and [...]

Together with Albazilla’s improvements on every front, I’ve been trying hard to post each day at least some mumblings, if I wouldn’t have something more interesting to report. And I also have to thank for this the other authors, like Chitti, that keep these pages alive.
But now it’s enough, I need some holidays… So I’m [...]
