Different kind of geek



Those of you, who think moding computer's chip, over-clocking, and playing with multi-OS is geek, think again. Gasenngo's old mucker Stefan from Sweden is off his job for a new project:

Building a very big "moovingbus" the good old style(1974) with very long life SCANIA 13 m.long x 3,60 high with a (box) room inside 10m.long x 2,50 high, to be a kind of a mobile home/touring bus, fore expeditions up to 16 passengers with very good comfort/10 pass.with super comfort- own1.5 seat and 1 bed in a fully eqiped mobile home.
Aside from being an environmentalist, a traveler, a marathon runner, and recently interest in global warming issue, he confess to support low tax on diesel, so he can fill up the new toy.

Btw, if you are looking for a prototype for Website simplification, check out Stephan' site, my all time favorite :-)

Ironing the Italian way

A few weeks ago, we have dinner with Hanh's family. When it come to chatting time, Hanh's husband somehow ended up talking about Italian fashion. To back up his argument on how seriously Italian care about clothes, Giovanni told us a story how his mother, an Italian house wife, do the ironing. First she remove all the buttons from the shirt, then did the ironing on the unbuttoned cloths. After that she manually sew all buttons to the shirt again. That's the proper way ironing in Italy. Normally perfect, rite.

There is no luxury as luxury of time, well, this time my hat is off for the Italian example that show the very meaning of this words.
