where on Sunday morning you meet the Prime Minister’s wife;
in the afternoon you are listening to a choir of 20.000 children, with 100.000 spectators - out of 1.4 millions living in Estonia;
you get shivers when all the big final choir with all children sing the national hymn;
on Tuesday you have a glass with the French […]

Since Skype is being ported on the Nokia N800, I had the chance to use the N800 quite a bit in the last months. Last year I reviewed the first iteration of Nokia’s Internet Tablet, the N770. The N800 is definitively a nice upgrade over it, it keeps the strong points and fix some of […]

After 3 years of using Bloglines I switched to Google Reader for reading feeds. Outside work, I spent 90% of my browsing time in my feed reader so this is a very important tool. I’ve used almost since ever web based feed readers, which are much more convenient. I always liked Bloglines simplicity, but […]

On April 6th we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. We celebrated our wedding at Leigo, a farm house in some very nice surroundings in the south of Estonia. The place is actually well known in Estonia, since every summer they organize open-air music concerts and theater performances. The musicians’ stage is on an island in […]

Like almost every French, I followed the presidential elections closely. It was an interesting election, with a lot of good debates. Finally there is a new generation coming in French politics. And I was happy with the final result too.

What I like the most about this laptop is that it’s silent. Before I had a heavy HP laptop, whose fans […]

Five months without blogging, that’s like eternity in the Internet world. So what have I been up to? Having fun with Henri of course. He’s now almost 10 months old, crawling like crazy, standing up and exploring every last corner of the apartment. He’s an amazing boy and it’s great fun.
In other news, I’m getting […]

It’s been already 2.5 years since I asked on this blog “Why don’t we have an iPod phone yet?” It’s finally here, and it’s really impressive. It has actually such advanced features (full web browser, touch-screen, etc) that one may forget there is also an iPod in it. Apple didn’t keep it simple about the […]

Since I was a nice boy this year, Santa Claus brought me already before Christmas the new Lego Mindstorms NXT. It’s the successor of the original Mindstorms kit released several years ago and it has received a lot of praise.
It is indeed a very nice toy. In the box there are over 500 pieces, 3 […]

The Venice Project (TVP) is the cool new project from Niklas and Janus, Skype bosses. Apparently many journalist don’t get what it is, so I will just quote one TVP employee:
