The Spitfire documentary was made last year (2018) but only reached cinemas recently. It tells the story of the fighter aircraft often credited with deciding the Battle of Britain.
I learned some very interesting things. The idea of the elliptical wing...
This year we went back to Spain, this time to Andalusia — the Costa del Sol, the Sunshine Coast. A beachfront hotel promised nice views and easy beach access, but we miscalculated a little. In what ways?
It doesn't seem obvious, but even when rock...
What I ran into concerns the MacBook Pro 2018, 15" and the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (MJ1K2AM).
I was powering the laptop through the adapter (USB-C) while simultaneously having an external drive (WD Elements 1TB) in the USB-A port. The performance...
Train journey
In a word: long (but fast) — from Vienna it takes just over four hours. You pass through a bit of Bavaria as well. The views from the train are stunning. I have to say that for the time spent on the train, the journey was very comfortable.

As the owner of both the original Turris and the newer Omnia, I got the opportunity to back the latest project — the MOX. And I waited. For a long time. A really long time — until this June I finally got my hands on it. The Super Early Bird was essentially an AP for the Turr...
This year the "Bike to Work" challenge ran again. I had no competitive ambitions — the goal is simply to rack up as many kilometres as possible during May. A scooter works too, so I mapped out the best route and set off. Part on the pavement, part on the road, and sometimes through...
I wanted to find out whether what people say about it is true. So I rented one and looked forward to the results. My first shot was out on the street — linden blossoms. I shot wide open and the result wasn't quite what I expected. You need more distance between the subje...
The morning programme ran at the faculties, then everything moved to the Brno Exhibition Centre in the afternoon. The programme promised a spectacular experience.
At the faculty it was nice to see lecturers and classmates after all...
First impression: it's incredibly small! We had the chance to ride through the depot in a partial (electric mode only) trolleybus going through the wash. Which is quite an experience. It's like a car wash but bigger. The ride itself only re...
Something always got in the way and I could never make it to Pardubice. This year I managed it — I bought an electronic ticket (a great idea from the organisers) and headed off. By the way, if you get one of the pricier ticket options you'll be looked...
