One of the things I like to do is to find a random village or two near Vienna, programme the GPS and drive by the shortest routes between them. I get to see so many interesting parts of the countryside. I’ve now bought myself one of those fancy cameras you stick on your helmet when you jump off bridges on elastic (well not quite, more a simple version for not so rugged people). I fix it in the car so I can capture some of the places I drive through, mainly because I have passed so many interesting places that I couldn’t easily stop in and take photos.
Tonight I decided to try the same idea on Google. This used to be called “surfing the web” – a concept that has pretty much died from what I can detect. It’s the concept of finding something interesting and following a chain of links to see where you can go – a bit like catching a wave, I guess I could call it “surfing”. Yes – I know – that is what it’s called – it’s just the concept seems to have all but died out these days. Anyway I ended up finding this video, and thought – what a pleasant way to end a surfing session…
