Zeev Ramiel “Vision of Colors”

P234
P233

Had a great time helping out with the exhibit at Gallerie Steiner when Zeev came to Vienna. He is a lot of fun to work with and it turned out to be a good idea that he brought his friend Armando to help with the setup the day before. We had a pretty good turn out. Visit before the show ends November 5th. Contact me if you are interested in any of the prints in other formats or framed.

Mmm… Mukata (Thai BBQ)

P197

My friends Vala and Leon visited Thailand and brought back this Thai BBQ device in which a bowl of coals has a spaghetti strainer type lid placed on top of it and then the gutter is filled with pork broth, noodles and veggies. Then pork strips are grilled and mix with the soup. Nice compact way of cooking everything in a very small space right on the table!

Vintage Austrian Military Truck

P185

This cool vintage Austrian military truck was parked in front of my apartment today. Reminded me of the WWII T17 staghound armored car named after my dog. Although it really is nothing like them. Afer a quick Google search I still do not know exactly what make or model of truck this is, and I did not bother to look real close to see a name on it.

Morgengymnastik im Prater Hundezone

Mit Meagan im Prater Hundezone spazieren. Wir sind langsam angefangen heute morgen als Mann beim Foto von Meagan zu Hause sehen kann. Aber danach auf der Wiese bei Heustadlwasser ist Meagan wirklich gut gelaufen. Es war nicht mit voll Geschwindigkeit aber lang und schnell genug um sie ins Wasser zu bringen um sie zu erholen ein bisschen und dann eine Pause auf der Wiese.

Twitter directly from a Satellite Phone.

     According to this Twitter blog entry satellite phone providers can now receive sms Twitter messages that post direct to a users Twitter account. If you are in a country outside of America where the free access to cellular or internet networks is limited or dangerous this is a great new service. It is not a bulletproof way of getting your position out onto the internet. (Not any more) So one needs to be careful about which satellite provider one uses. There are a wide range of phones to choose from and you can find a lot of them here.

    If you live or are going somewhere where the power is unreliable then you will also want a solar charger. But I am in love with this very handy family of devices from Eton

All of them can charge a cell phone or satellite phone and have 4 different power sources. So with a sat phone and the voicelink one has a way to communicate locally and globally completely off the grid. Not bad for well under 1,000 dollars and almost no technical knowledge needed. I imagine this would be useful in places like Homs, Syria about now.
