Reach for the stars
...or better, start climbing.

Surprise!

The new design is ready. The domain name has been bought.

The launch is for Monday.

You can already reset your bookmarks to www.climbtothestars.org.

No fear, a nice net of redirecting pages will catch you if you fall here during the weeks (months) to come.

Life

A little net-search brought up two interesting articles: one is about Somak and Aleika's departure for Birmingham, and the other is an account of a talk I can remember him going to England for.

For the record, Somak and Aleika (let's not forget Akirno!) are the people who shared my life while I was in India.

Thought

Finally, everybody has something to say. Everybody has a voice. Some will appeal to more people, and therefore be more popular - but even the meekest is bound to create an echo in others.
For we are all human beings, and I believe there is a fundamental unity between us - a little bit of "me" in the "other".

Here is a screenshot of what poor daniel sees when he come here.

My apologies to all visitors who do not see this page more or less how I see it. I'm working to fix the problem.

Operation Clambake is a very well-documented site on the Church of Scientology.
I'll review it for Astoundingweb once I have explored it enough to do it justice.

Thought

Out dancing last night to celebrate my brother's birthday, I tried to mentally enter the lives of these people who would spend all their week-end evenings dancing away to deafening music, consuming alcohol and possibly more evil substances.

Do you really get a chance to know people and meet future friends in such places? Can you get more there on a human level than fast sex and body rubbing?

Sure, we need face-to-face and physical contact with other human beings.
But admitting you get that in other areas of your life, does an evening out clubbing have more "value" than an evening online - especially if you are not very keen on the kind of encounters the night-club has to offer?

This morning Lausanne was covered by a thin white blanket of snow. It is the first snow of the season here, and it is very late.
I woke up just in time to take some pictures before everything started melting away.

My apologies to those of you who stopped by during these last few hours, while F2S was having FTP trouble, and were greeted with a broken page. All is back to normal now!

Thanks Dad, I finally have light in my kitchen again!

I also did a lot of frantic shopping and organizing for my flat. I'm tired of camping.
I now have a real "living-room" and a few loose ends are being tied up.

It was about time!
