Das Park Hotel, minimal accomodation in Linz

Das ParkHotel offers room with minimum space volume for maximum comfort in the green heart of Linz. The reservoir under and beside the couch surface (fitted with an Optimo matress) offers some space for your luggage. There’s even a power connection (220 V) for your electrical appliances and a plug for Internet connection.

Sanitary facilities, breakfast area and other hotel amenities are to be found around the hotel: at the Danube park public toilets and at the cafés of Linz city centre.

Book now and pay as you wish (apparently the system works quite well, people leave between 7 and 20 € and sometimes even little presents.)

I love these: the organic shapes and the promise of outdoor comfort and being out of the sun really appeals.

Available here.

It just looks so comfy, and it has that great 60s / 70s design vibe which I love. I bet they’re like a squillion pounds. Site

It was a real shiny gig. I loved watching Pink Floyd do some classic numbers. And the rest of the artists. All good. What bugs me is some of the negative publicity - about not enough black artists, Did it do any good etc. (more…)

My Marlboro CMOY Amp: “I finally discovered that the CMOY Amp is a very simple but apparently powerful and good-quality amplificator, designed by some audio geek called Chu Moy. Instead of making money out of his design by selling or patenting it, he published the full information on the HeadWize site, so anybody could comment on it, or propose some new improvement to make it even better.”

Bags: I love bags. I also love boxes, but that is another story. I guess I am always on the look out for the perfect bag; one that can carry as much or as little as you want, has enough pockets for your geek needs and looks great.

The perfect bag should also not look like a computer bag, but be sufficiently well padded to protect your shiny G4 powerbook (or Intel whatsit sometime next year!!). Bonus points are awarded for an easily accessible mobile phone pocket, iPod holder and somewhere to keep your nootbook (of the paper variety). It should also be indestructible (anything that I own needs that quality!!)
