		<title>Smartphone Battery Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been using smartphones for many years. My time at Nokia allowed for having the newest phones and for changing them frequently. I tried early map versions, GPS, IM, you-name-it. The features have advanced, sadly the battery has not. So I came to live with re-charging my phone(s) more and more often. The rule [...]]]></description>

		<title>Driving through Europe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are now back from our trip down to Italy, at Lake Como. We&#8217;ve decided to go by car this time, probably one of the longest trip by car we&#8217;ve done so far together. On 30 July we drove down to Dover to take the ferry to Calais. Once in France, we started going towards [...]]]></description>

		<title>Les Pecheurs de Perles on YouTube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a way to remove the memory of the yesterday&#8217;s singing from ENO, I looked for some videos on YouTube with arias from Les Pecheurs. I think Rolando Villazon has the most amazing voice in this opera from all the singers I&#8217;ve listened to so far. Here are two examples: Villazon and Domingo in concert [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Pearl Fishers at ENO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we went to see The Pearl Fishers by Bizet at ENO. I saw some pictures of the production and it looked quite interesting, very movie-like, which is not surprising since the director is actually a film maker. And it looked indeed very beautiful but that&#8217;s pretty much all I liked. I did not like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still on Venice&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I went again to the National Gallery in London and (among others) saw the huge Venice paintings by Canaletto but this time in a totally different light. I was amazed how much Venice today looks like Venice in 18th century! With other paintings, the passing of time is obvious, but Venice still looks the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday in Venice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year for our anniversary we went to Venice. Not sure why we have ignored Venice for so long: maybe because of the whole touristic image it has. I was expecting to be annoyed and disappointed and find it overrated, as I find Paris sometimes. However, I absolutely fell in love with it. It&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resurrection of the blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long time, we turned to our blogs again (largely by an exercise of Dana&#8217;s). WordPress is updated now to the latest version and my iPod touch has now a WordPress client that enables me to blog from anywhere. So this is it: the first iPod blog entry.]]></description>

		<title>Visiting Helsinki&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a few days, we&#8217;ll be back to Helsinki for a few days. I am quite looking forward, actually, to seeing familiar people and places. Trying to remember places I liked in Helsinki I realized that in our less than 2 years there we did manage to try out quite some cafes and restaurants I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying out Samsung i8910HD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past week I have been playing with the Samsung i8910HD and tried to figure out if I would consider having one as my phone or not. First impressions: it is quite big but very well built and really nice looking. The first thing you want to try is video playing and it delivers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heart surgery at Papworth Hospital</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just came back from a different kind of trip: on 16 June my father had a heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. The operation was done at Papworth Hospital by Mr. Frank Wells. As a parenthesis, I find it quite weird that in UK surgeons are called Mr. As explained here, it seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally on Twitter</title>

But I haven&#8217;t gotten too much into the upload and application stuff yet. It&#8217;s mainly the status updates I&#8217;m using. So for that reason, I joined the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Experiencing iPod Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago I joined in the Apple touch &#8220;revolution&#8221; by getting an iPod Touch. In the meantime it has become my constant companion around the house, as I use it for checking emails, checking news, getting on Skype or Facebook, listening to music, or simply playing some Solitaire. I love the screen, [...]]]></description>

The seminar had an amazing lineup of speakers, important figures from emotion-related research: Paul Ekman (Univ. of California San Francisco, USA), Rosalind Picard (MIT Media [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long time since the last post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while now that we posted something. It&#8217;s been busy these two months, I guess. We finally seem to be getting into a warmer climate again. Our second winter in the UK was certainly colder than the first one. Still, no comparison to our places before, Boston and Helsinki, where regular snow and [...]]]></description>

		<title>And a New Year begins&#8230;</title>

Yesterday our whole heating system failed (heat and hot water) so we had to make new arrangements for how to celebrate the New Year&#8217;s Eve. We bought a new oil heater and heated only one room where we stayed. Luckily, the food and drink helped us get warmer This morning we [...]]]></description>
