Friends on wheels

Just because I like plots, I recently made one showing the daily stats of my two friends Anne and Carsten, who are cycling around in Europe and South America these and the following 40something weeks …

MAD Foodcamp Copenhagen 2011

I just came back from this year’s MAD Foodcamp Copenhagen, the festival for more crazy food.

Interesting little fair kinda thing, with lots of little stands presenting various kinds of food and drinks. Unfortunately the weather was kinda crazy as well and strangely enough the organisers seemingly haven’t prepared for that (here in Copenhagen???).

Anyway I had some woodruff- potato-English-cream-nitrogen ice cream; made my own self made Danish bon fire wok dish; and ate a few more appetisers.

Unfortunately the amount of information one could get at some of the stands was close to zero …
so it’s a really nice idea, that still could be improved a lot and possibly really nice on a sunny day :(

Braid

Yet another game from the Humble Bundle that I recently finished. Braid is a really nice platform or jump-and-run game with quite a twist in it. To solve the various and diversified puzzles you have to manipulate time. By going back and forth in time; while, depending on the level, either you or part of scene do not follow; you have to find parts of an actual puzzle to grasp the story of the game.

Really nice and certainly something new for me … http://www.braid-game.com/

And of course it’s available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
