This morning we left (with meskio) to the Hacktivism caravan and we arrived to Córdoba a few hours ago. First place we’ve visited is Juan XXIII and I couldn’t resist to take a picture of its traditional courtyard. Too tired today, more to see and to show tomorrow. BTW I began blogging again ! =)
By the end of November Soraya, Isaac, Quique and me travelled to California: San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Yosemite Park …
One of the days we rented a car and visited Sillicon Valley. Oracle HQ are just leaving SF on the left but we just saw them from the highway, our first stop was Stanford University. There we had a guided tour around the campus, we bought some stuff at the shop and left to Googleplex where we met David (Isaac’s friend from Wesnoth), who’s working there. A quick but really cool visit, mostly outdoors thru we had lunch there, at Google. What I could say … amazing …
Next stop was Apple HQ at Cupertino, ~15min by car from Googleplex. Infinite Loop is the street around the main building, I’d had liked to loop around it by car twice or more but we almost crashed just arriving so we walked =). After Apple we tried to find a geek shop we found on the Internet but in it’s place it was a weird chinese organization on heart health and then it was to late to go to Yahoo! What a pitty ! :-( …
I promise to blog more on this (and other travels), but at least, you can see the pictures.
As you already know, this summer I’ve been in Brussels (yeah, I know I’ve a lot to blog …). Modern Art from this city is well-know worldwide, so I had a great oportunity to give Soraya a different present for her birthday. A walk through the city with the very very useful use-it map (thanks meskio) took me to the ALICE shop which cames from Artists Living In Constant Elevation. Hehe with this so-cool name I expected a very cool place, and yes, it is: prints, books, t-shirts, accesorries, gadgets …
I finally choose a couple of prints of Krsn:
It’s a week since Soraya and me were are in Brussels working for JADE - European Confederation of Junior Enterprises, I hope to blog more about that in the next days.
This is a nice city, see wikitravel or the wikipedia but I hope to discover more about it with the help of maemo-mapper, that’s why I was looking forward geoinfo about Brussels and I found belgeoblog, where you can download nice POI of Belgium. I wish we could have MetrO public transports database integrated in OSM.
By the way, is there any local geek group here in Brussels ? or any Debian fan who would like to share a great belgian beer ? :-)
No me gusta comentar en el blog noticias vistas en otros sitios, pero esta me la apunto aquí para no olvidarme. Cuando vayas a una ciudad las cosas bonitas no sólo están por arriba, sino también por abajo: Metro Arts and Architecture. De momento ya he estado en la de Bruxelles y la de London. A por más ahora … (visto en menéame).
In a few hours I leave to Madrid to catch a flight to East Midlands airport, where our friend meskio will be waiting us with tons of cans of beer ! :) Our little Robin Hood is on an erasmus year in Notthingam and quique, soraya and me are going to visit him. Meanwhile all my computer resources available and not ;-) are running boinc for the zivis project and I’m the second one only after the CETA-CIEMAT. The war begins here, good luck spartans !
