I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Another busy day with some great meetings.
After we finished at the Technium in Swansea I went and drove around to Mumbles (thanks for the tip Steve). The beaches are really nice. So far it’s been blue sky and warm.
Swansea is built around a bay, with traditional cottages terraced up behind the city. It doesn’t compute for me how these 100+ year old cottages have glorious sea views. There is a neat contrast between the traditional housing that frames the city and the new architecture in the waterside re-developments.
The beach huts were interesting. Imagine the social hierarchy between the front row and the next row back.
I found the Navigation option that makes the drive arrow point in the direction of the car, not just North. Faith in German design restored.
Half way through the learning journey in Wales. Nothing like spending time in country to validate your thinking and find insights that are not obvious from afar.

Good beaches for practicing handbrake turns down there, especially if you have a hire car. Interesting factoid, Mumbles means “breasts” because the main feature of the area are two hills that look like that.
