This is it, after all the preparations, let’s have a look at the first half of the road to Berlin (our first stay).
Last view of the Cairngorms… :’-(
Finally, we put everything in place : playing Tetris with luggage !
I always take my two best buddies Eastpack and Rip Curl… they’re good guys they never forget theirs seat belts lol.
In the meantime I think we lost Globule… who is found hiding under the car, as if we can forget her.
Here it is, ready to go the whole home packed !
This include a big organisation of the kitchen as you can have a glimpse here 😉
This is it the annual migration to catch up with family and friends and see how the world is doing out there… So this year, is a really exciting year we go in a lot of new country. Let’s have a look at the program :
- Ferry King seaway from Newcastle to Amsterdam – and a stay at Double tree Centraal Station.
- Discoveries of Berlin and undoing aging conference.
- A week in Vienna and a night at the Opera.
- Week end at Lindau, on a Yacht on Lake Constance (yipppeeeppeee !!!!).
- Lyon for family & friends.
- A picturesque Week end in Avignon.
- A hiking week in Sahorre in Pyrenees.
- Evening in Bordeaux.
- In Saint Mayeux in the Brittany countryside.
- Villages vacances disneyland Paris.
Pffff… here we are again I look ridiculous, just because we go on a ferry in few days… but mommy told that I swim like a stone so I have to wear a life jacket.
I’m sure that’s because of that :
Pfff I’d love to disconnect her damned phone !
At least that’s an amazing picture 😉

This book is formalizing perfectly my thoughts for the future of mankind: How to better link humans through technology, specifically mind to mind technology. It was a fascinating account of how we might interface brains between them, using existing technologies (that still needs to be much improved upon).
The book was also telling the personal story of its author, how he found meaning, how he discovered the power of touch, of real human contact, and how he found love. This might seem completely how of place for such a book, but it is not. On the contrary, he knew we could accuse him of wanting to replace humans by a mindless zombies dystopia like the Borg in Star Trek. So the author used his personal experiences to stress the importance of rediscovering human relations and sense of community. To illustrate how a technology that would allow humans to share emotion over the internet might be more humanizing that current communication systems.
The book imagined how a global self aware consciousness might emerge and what form it could take.
In short, this is a very inspiring book. I hope it encouraged entrepreneurs to explore the possibilities of brain-computer interface. Certainly I will be paying close attention to the field and help if I can make this dream come true.
This book is the kind of science-fiction that takes place in the past. More exactly it is an alternate history fiction.
To call it “science fiction” is actually a bit of a stretch. The book tell of the history of humanity after the Black Death entirely decimated Europe, through the eyes of a few protagonists that lives through many reincarnation. This is quite a stretch for science, and it through me off a bit.
But after a while, it grew on me and I could enjoy the book though certain lyric discussion on religious matter were a bit of a stretch. It still made for an interesting book, but don’t expect many surprise: the history of technological and scientific progress is the same. This is actually the “thesis” of this book: to show that Europeans are not specials, that with them humanity would have followed the same trajectory. This is a thesis based on liberal faith rather than science, but I think it is true: life tends to evolve toward increasing complexity, which science and technological development certainly are a sign of.
