I just discovered an unreal Firefox extension today - StumbleUpon. Takes you to random pages visited by likeminded people based on some preferences and continued learning of what you do and don’t like (registered by clicking the “I like it” and “Not-for-me” buttons in its toolbar). Very cool.

So where does this marvel of technology take me? Steve, don’t eat it!

Sep 8

Greece was the best holiday ever! The food, the music, the coffee (I’ve stopped having lattes and switched to black. Ahh, bitter, bitter caffeine….), the people, the goats(?). Wicked!

Thessaloniki, a couple of villages in the mountains, Meteora, Athens, Mykonos, Naxos, Santorini and then Budapest to top it all off (the latter is not in Greece for the geographically challenged). It doesn’t get any better.

Activities included, but were not limited to:

  • climbing an active volcano
  • windsurfing with a bunch of Germans
  • riding a scooter on roads that had cliffs on either side
  • waterskiing at a black sanded beach
  • drinking unreal wine from a 2 litre plastic bottle that Dim got for 2 euro
  • getting airborne in a ferry on stupidly high seas at ridiculous speeds
  • the Acropolis - what hellenic holiday is complete without it?
