We drove 8 hours today before arriving at our destination: the medieval town of Einbeck. Through countless fields of rapeseed, along the weber river and little ancient villages. We also saw the Eder dam , famous for the attack in 1943 (as told in the famous movie the Dam Busters); it is really an impressive dam, build in 1908 and very hard to destruct indeed.
We are on the road again. This time we are heading for Weimar and Thuringen - Germany. The trip to our first stop was perfect because we didn't encountered the expected rain storm that was for casted.
Our hotel in Ruthen is on the top of a hill with a very nice view (and our first Schnitzel with bratkartofelen... )

Canvas is a new (hip) restaurant with a nice view. I had dinner with Time there a couple of days ago.
Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.
Hilarious :-)
Yet an other Boralis company started today: Menuplanner. This novel daily recipe letter we concieved together with Kees Klomp and Kosmos (The publishing giant behind Jamie Olivier and all your other favorite cooking books).
The beta release is based on a very simple promise: we provide our subscribers every day with a recipe that let them prepare a simple, wholesome and honest meal for 4 persons within 15 minutes or so. The coming months we will finetune the mail and its website.

The Boralis tree is growing rapidly and we took a share in Usabilla of Paul Veugen. Usabilla is a great new concept where the visitors help to improve the usability of a website. Easy, Quick and Cheap - what more do you need? :-)
Paul is a brilliant guy and we are very happy to be able to work with him on this project.
