We got back from Venice yesterday, after a few days walking around the city.
A strange trip, lots of great buildings and okay weather - but the food was awful. Being half-Italian, I was shocked. It wasn’t cheap either.
Enough complaining, here are the photos…
You can see the photos a little larger under the photos page.

I am still having fun with this great search engine front page. Basically its a flash site powered by Windows Live Search, that has a presenter that adds her own twist on your search queries. If you are feeling brave, you can ask her some personal questions as well.
Although not designed for a long research period, its great for the odd search.
Here are a few of my favourite searches…
It is great to see Microsoft having a bit of fun on the web.
Before Siggraph this year my XBOX360 died in a very prolonged way. After the dashboard update in May (I think), the DVD drive started making strange noises. A month later and my 360 wouldn’t load any games, movies or CDs. Bummer!
With the rush before and after Siggraph I didn’t have any time to get it repaired, but at last I have sent it in for repair. Which is great, because I will get it back in time for some of the great looking games coming out this side of Christmas. I have to say that Microsoft’s support is top notch.
In the meantime I loaded World of Warcraft to tide me over. Dammit.
