Åre trip

Took our yearly department trip to Åre in the north of Sweden this year, and had a great time. We were there to visit a logging truck company (cheers Johan) and see our trucks (and others) in action in the real world. Of course there was plenty of time to enjoy Åre itself as well. We managed to do some Snowboarding, go on some snow scooters, drive an excavator, and drink some beer. All with fantastic fresh Swedish weather. The snow scooters were my favorite part....I managed to get Johans scooter (which was a lot more powerfull than the rented ones) up to 135kmh. Trust me...it was fast. So fast in fact that the wind was lifting my eyelids away from my eyes....under my helmet visor. Great!

Not been doing much!!

Been a bit quiet after new year, with loads of work to do. That and DesignerTechniques have kept me busy (as well as the odd party). I have managed to come across some really cool web sites that I thought I would share though. In no particular order......

Some truly amazing storm photos.

Probably the wierdest site I have ever seen. Its a webcam in some guys apartment.....and you can turn the various lights in the room on and off (you can chat to him whilst you are annoying him too....when he is there)

A strange rabbit. The funny thing is trying to shake him loose once he has grabbed the curser!
