“Ya man.” 😉 (Cool Runnings, 1993)

Why such a post-title, you ask?
For one I haven’t updated the site for a while. Well, I haven’t posted in a while, been doing some behind-the-scenes-stuff though (fixed the 404, changed the background, updated to WP 2.0.2, positioned some impact craters, etc.). So it’s about time for a normal post.

And two, the quote reminds me of some winter fun. I know it’s spring already, but last friday I went skiing in Europe’s longest indoor skiing facility (or so they say). 625 meters in all.

I must admit it was a lot of fun, really. It does not compare to standing on a real outdoor mountain side, but one can easily spend a day at the slope, not in the least bit because all materials, food and drinks(!!!) where all-inclusive. (I confess, I’m Dutch ;-))
Though they should’ve put up some easy to spot road-signs and installed an airco in the bar/restaurant.

On returning home I started up Google Earth and found they’ve updated their maps and have almost all of Germany in high-res. Thus the slope is easy to spot. You can see the Center for yourself in Google Earth (KML), it’s the inverted question mark being constructed. Don’t worry, in real life it’s finished, I’ve been there remember? 🙂
