JavaFX

Mobile Trail Explorer

If you do some kind of outdoor sports like running or hiking and you don't have the money for a garmin forerunner you can use your mobile phone and a GPS reciever via bluetooth to track your trails. The mobile trail explorer as a very good software you can use for this. It exports your trails to KML or GPX which you can import in Sporttracks. That's pretty cool because you have all the data collected in on place.

Summerjam 2007

Was great! Even the weather was okay, most of the artists we have seen performed incredibly good and we found a good place for tents. The best artists I've seen: Sizzla, Anthony B and Beenie Man. Incredible performance. Sean Paul's performance was ridiculous, as expected. Anyway we had a lot of fun!

...concert yesterday was impressive. Excellent sound by l-accoustics systems, beautiful LED projections and something I've not seen quite a long time: A laser show!! That was cool ;)
