Why bring a heavy sled when you can bring an inflatable one. The Surfster Ice Inflatable Snow Sled rolls up like a sleeping bag (89 x 25.4 cm) but packs a lot of fun when inflated (115 x 80 x 60 cm)
Head face first down the hillside with the nose inches over the snow or sit comfortably on the inflated sled. The non-slip handles and neolite knuckle guards makes for a fun but safe ride.
Great fun for kids of all ages (3+).
Ski Dubai has 5 slopes that varies in difficulty. The longest one is 400 meters long:
Constructing a ski slope in the desert is one thing, but to keep it running most cost a fortune. 30 tons of fresh snow is generated daily and the temperature is kept at a constant, and comfortable, -1°C to -2°C:
Our facility is specially designed as a massive cold box. The walls have numerous levels of insulation, and the roof is 5 metres higher than the ceiling, providing very efficient insulation. This makes Ski Dubai one of the best refrigerators in the world! We have 23 blast coolers (air conditioner type machines) that chill the air and maintain a temperature of -1c during operating hours. There are also kilometres of glycol tubing running through the floor (similar to the back of your refrigerator) that chill the snow, keeping the base of the snow solid, and 30 tons of fresh snow are made daily to cover the base.
Tired skiers can chill out the best hotel in Dubai the world Burj Al Arab ******* after a long day on the slopes
No need for it in Milano these days as it has not snowed so much since 1985! Thursday and Friday was lovely but it started raining on Saturday so the snow is slowly melting away :-(

Finally a decent web browser for the pocket PC
Opera 8.5 Pocket PC (beta) is based on the same core as the Opera 8.5 desktop browser. It is available for both Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 but it also works on older versions. I am running it on my iPAQ 4150 without problems even though it gave a warning during installation. The CAB installer can be downloaed directly to the Pocket PC or via Active Sync.

Yeti sports part 10 (Icicle Climb) is just out:
It is as simple and addictive as ever. Throw the icicle with the left mouse button to make “steps“ for the penguin. Each pingu jump is limited to 1.2 meters so use the 12 icicles carefully.
I just bought the tickets online so I will be in one of the camper areas on this map during the Italian MotoGP 2006 :

I live close to the Monza racing circuit but this will be my first live motorcycle event. I hope the MotoGP race in Mugello this year will be as good as the one in 2005 which was one of the best I have ever seen. It will also be the first time I go by camper. The venue looks ideal for campers as only campers are allowed to enter the circuit. I got the 3 day pass (124 euro) that gives access from 14.00 on Thursday until the races finish on Sunday. I will be able to see most of the action live without taking a single day of vacation since Friday 2/6 is a public holiday
Cool Or What?
Geeks Are Sexy reviews several tools and tricks for getting access to your machine if you have forgotten the Windows Password. Best of all; the utilities are free. The Offline NT password & Registry editor looks particularly impressive as it allows you to boot from a floppy or CD and reset the password of any local account as well as edit the registry.
Thanks Mark
