The Stats

At last, I am back on Canadian soil! For you statistics junkies, here are some numbers generated during my two month jaunt:

40 Kg of luggage on the return flight (those dratted festival catalogues!)
12 lighters lost or stolen (mostly in France)
6 countries visited (France, Hungary, Finland, Estonia, Austria, England)
5 airlines (Air Transat, Finnair, Wizzair, Tyrolean Airlines, Ryanair)
5 conferences/workshops/festivals attended (Rencontres Internationales d’art Contemporain de Chizé, ISEA 2004, TCM Progress Workshop by Makrolab, ARS Electronica, UbiComp)
4 types of currency spent (Euro, Hungarian Forint, Estonian Kroon, UK Pounds Sterling)
3 gigs scored as a result of attending the above noted events (one writing gig, two lectures)
2 computer crashes that required zeroing of the hard drive (one in France and one in Hungary)
{{popup haircut.jpg makrolab barbershop 300×403}}1 impromptu haircut (on Suomenlinna Island)

Who said anything about smoking? I just carry lighters around to be chivalrous and light other people’s cigarettes. It’s a great way to meet people.

Yeah, if you want to meet smokers. On the other hand, you could use it to set some fires, and meet firemen. You could probably only pull that one a few times before it got stale, though.
