On Sunday some of us decided to venture out to a new beach rather than going to our usual place in Viareggio.
We ended up (in the right place) at Rosignano. The beach was a short walk from the train station, although we did exit the train station into the car park the first time.
When we arrived at the beach we were greeted by hundreds of people already there, a short walk up the beach however lead us to some space.
The sand was extremely white, although this was artificially coloured by whatever the refinery next to it was pumping into the water. It seemed harmless though as many people were swimming in it.
The sea was clear blue, and was unusually warm at the bottom and cold at the top.
Later on in the day we encountered the "ice cream tractor", which was essentially a freezer on tracks with an electric motor driving it across the sand. It also had some music playing and sold beer as an added bonus.

EUI 5 A Side Tournament - Part 3
So it has come to an end, almost as quickly as it started.
The E-1337s have been bundled out of the Coppa Pavone after only two games, following two fairly convincing defeats.
It probably is a good thing that we went out so quickly, since from the start we were under prepared and all carrying injuries after just a few training sessions.
Had we stayed any longer we would have definitely lost in the next round.
All in all, a fun time was had by all.

Microsoft Bing
Recently Microsoft launched their own search engine called Bing.
To me this seems like a very late attempt to spread the Microsoft name a little more on the web by essentially copying a service that has been run by the likes of Google and Yahoo for several years now.
It is probably a bid to try to associate the Microsoft brand with web search engines in the same way that Google has become synonymous in this field.
Interestingly Microsoft seem to have dropped the "Live" branding that they previously adopted for a lot of services (messenger, search, mail etc.)
I am expecting this to be axed in little over a year or so, or overhauled to ultimately create a Microsoft version of iGoogle by sticking bing, msn and hotmail together on one page.
