SkiVips
From the 27th of February till the 6th of March, I was in Les Collons in Wallis, Switzerland, with Adrienne’s VIP (video-processing) group. Of course when you put a bunch of nerds together, add in a roll of duck-tape and purfoam, then something geeky-cool and totally useless is bound to happen. Tomasso, Frank and Karl came up with the idea to build an “omnicamera”, a camera with a 360 degrees viewing angle. Of course all for use on the piste. They built a very dangerous contraption, but it seemed to work. I’m still waiting for the video’s. As soon as I have them, I’ll put them on here.
My skiing skills are also slowly improving, I even can manage going down the black pistes (I’m so proud of myself).

We “Brabanders” (people who live in Brabant, a province in Holland) got a very nice saying for this kind of “engineering”: Als ge ut niet wit gebruik dan een bietje pur of kit!
