I can always rewrite it later when I'll work on my book. We tried leaving Alta for Tromso, but after 2,5 hours of a lot of cars and ... http://guaka.org/2008/08/13/alta-helsinki-tallinn-riga/ We didn't leave Stockholm the time we expected. It happened a couple of days later. And even on that Sunday we were very late, I got stung by a bee in the last moment. We went to a hitch spot I found on Hitchbase, which was rather bad actually. We ... http://guaka.org/2008/07/30/muy-muy-muy-alta-en-el-norte/ We left Amsterdam last Friday, after 15:00 or so.  It took 50 minutes or so to leave Amsterdam at the liftershalte (which is also the longest wait of this trip!).

It was very inspiring, in the middle ... http://guaka.org/2008/07/09/a-week-in-a-flash/ In 2005 I tried stimulating people in Mali to write for Wikipedia when I was in Bamako.

It allows developers of multiple origins to enhance any venue or event using technologies such as BlueTooth and RFID. "Roomware" is an application running in a defined space. For instance: linking ... http://guaka.org/2008/03/25/the-roomware-project/ I signed up at Last.fm in 2005. I never really used it a lot. Until recently, when I got slightly bored by soma.fm (still great though!). I found out Last.fm is streaming tons of music. A bit like pandora.com, but way better. And it seems they have everything, ranging from ... http://guaka.org/2008/03/23/lastfm-social-music-revolution/ http://guaka.org/2008/03/15/cinemstardam-ii-%e3%82%aa%e3%83%95%e3%82%a3%e3%82%b9%e3%81%ae3-%e6%97%a5/
