Got a KISS DP-500 today. I can see the box in my office (I am at home right now). It is a networked MPEG player (audio, video) designed by B&O.

Finis Origine Pendet
Finis Origine Pendet, loosely translated means “The end depends upon the beginning.” The quotation is taken out of context from the Astronomica of Manilius. This is the great academic motto of the Phillips Exeter Academy (real) as well as the St. Benedict’s Academy for Boys (Hollywood fiction) in the movie The Emperor’s Club. It is a great story about a teachers that strongly believes in good and right and put his strongest hopes onto a young son of a senator whom unfortunately disappoints his teacher by cheating. Being a university teacher myself, I feel strong sympathies for the situation presented in the movie and it really go to me. 10 stars to the movie The Emperor’s Club.

Spring is back!
SPring is back and I honored it by taking out my bike again and riding 9.74 Km in high pace (which means in my untrained condition a mean speed of 18.5 Km/h). Wooohooo. I feel good! 🙂

This is the splendid dessert table at our hotel (Ocean Park on Madeira). We were here in March 2002. More images from this series as well as a travel report is available. I highly recommend Madeira to anybody that want a peaceful and green vacation.
Dinner at Waldorf
To celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary we went out and ate a large dinner at Waldorf today. Waldorf Roll (sushi roll), vegetable tempura, garlic bread, a children pizza, and yakitori chicken. That was a lot of food and when we got home we topped it of with some “Marräng Swiss” 🙂 I feel like a blimp!
