WLAN Dry County
Every place I checked in Holland they had a charge on the WLAN. That's why I'm clearing out a backlog of pictures now. My hotel in Den Bosch wanted 6€/h, which I told them was ridiculous and went on to check my mail on my phone. The KPN run networks here and there were the same. Airports have naturally long been out of bounds for free surfing, so I spent my couple of hours at Stockholm Arlanda doing some actual work on a friday night.
Cirque du Soleil
A small troupe was performing in an Amsterdam department store. Not sure if they were promoting themselves or the store, though.
No Coin Locker
Only card operated ones on dutch stations, apparently. Tough luck if you're not carrying one. Not the best of user interface either, with two different screens that don't change language in sync, and separate buttons for each screen.
Material Xperience 2008
That's why I was in Holland.
Lot's of odd and interesting material samples, of which some will join our growing material library at work.
Here Earl Briggs of Frank Gehry Architects explains how they make strangely shaped houses for clients with too much money.

Early Bird
6:40 takeoff to Amsterdam via Copenhagen last wednesday. SAS check-in busted my hand baggage for 2 kg overweight, and their flight attendant's aprons still look like bullet proof vests, but they moved me both ways somewhat on schedule and that's what counts.

Good Riddance
The happy sound of steel against concrete is again filling my apartment and keeping the neighbours aware that I'm home.
A bit more stuff than expected came off the walls as I tore down the old fibreglass wallpaper, so I'll be needing more of that nice heavy duty plaster in the near future.

Handheld UI
For a sheet metal laser. Always good to have a big red panic button handy. Many products would be better with one.
Smooth on the Outside
@Finntec08
Many of the heavy duty wokstations were very solidly covered, hiding the hard, dirty work happening inside. Looking as more like lab equipment, actually. This one's a metal milling machine, if I remember correctly.

Spent the afternoon at the Finntec08 fair watching heavy machines do odd things and picking up info on manufacturers and new materials. This robot was such a smooth mover, I gave it a soundtrack.

Nat Geo Yellow
Valerie, your friend is not the only one with a colour coded bookshelf. Then again, it's hard to avoid it with 10+ years worth of National Geographic Magazines.
Portable Computer
The iMac gets top points for mobility, as well as fitting into tights spaces.
Emptying the living room so I can start pulling down stuff from the ceiling and walls there in earnest.

We Have Doors
Looks like it was suppoed to after the Kvik sliding doors got attached to the Isku/Ikea framework.

So Far So Good
Considering the lack of blueprints and overall planning the reincarnation of my old bookshelf is proceeding pretty well.
Sneaker Mania
Sneaker and second hand street fashion event at We Got Beef. Drew a certain type of crowd, and was very crowded.

Espresso Edge
The name fits this cafe on Liisankatu, as they pour some of the most sublime black gold around. Very smooth tasting, Freshly ground Moak espresso. Tasted so good that I didn't even notice the lack of a chocolate chaser. The carrot cake can also be recommended.
Plus for old jute coffee bags laminated into the tables.

Puzzle
Just a brief note about what's going on in the bedroom at the moment: Combining basically incompatible parts from three different manufacturers, Isku, Ikea and Kvik, plus maybe some extra wood and screws, into a new piece of storage furniture. At least, that's the plan. Outcome to follow.
