Casa Robino

Many Casa roads lead to Berlin these days - besides the Berlin Winter Camp partyzone, geeks are enjoying atmosphere at the annual Chaos Computer Club congress (25C3 as this one is called). Daily programme can be found here as slides, or some as downloadable videos.

Spaz Thanks Nitai for uploading some of your great photos you took here in the house! Somehow though we have a nice bug that we cannot see the image gallery anymore, and I also just discovered that we cannot comment on the photos! Let's fix this soonish!

New feature on casarobino.org - we now have a list of bicycles including details of the bike, whether they are working or not and who currently has the keys. The bikelist is at http://casarobino.org/bikelist and you can add more bicycles to the list by clicking 'Share->Bicycle' on the menu at the top of the page or visiting http://casarobino.org/node/add/bicycle.

i am losing my flickr pro account today or tomorrow, and the new will cost around $24. who wants to contribute to buying me a new one?

Random mazes, collective dinner preparation, never ending cooking sessions, one big fest, no ending, no start, always going on. How many words do you think we exchanged? New connections and mutual ideas. Group photos, people arriving from Korea, Brussels, Portugal, Barcelona, Twin Oaks, Tartu, Madrid, Amsterdam East, South and North, further west and from around the corner, as well as friends always arriving at the right time. You know what would be really funny? If the internet would just stop.

Dumpster Treasure

Tuesday we went to the Albert Cuyjp Market and though it looked grim at first, we hauled home two full bags of dumpstered treasure! We cleaned up our finds and it was quite a spread. Spinach, lychees, mangoes, cauliflower, pineapple, 4 little cartons of cherry tomatoes, brussel sprouts, peppers, and more!

It brings to mind a line from Jeannette Winterson's book, Art Objects: The message coloured through time is not lack but abundance.

Abundance indeed.

I asked some guy if I was on the right street and he said"are you going to that guy's house who always people from around the world staying at his place."

the casa is famous en el barrio..apparently.

Occupation of Barcelona University by Students protesting the Bologna Accords

On the 20th of November students demonstrated in protest of the Bologna Accords by occupying the University of Barcelona historic building La Central after marching through the city. Similar protests and occupations are occurring in universities in other parts of Spain, Italy and Greece.

Today's dumpster haul from the Dappermarkt by Angie, Caroline, and Ethan garnered us about 30 pounds (15 kilos) of fruit and veggies, including a dozen clementines, many potatoes, 5 mangoes, 2 GIANT and many smaller carrots, grapes and strawberries, tomatoes, avocadoes, a basil plant, a bulb of fennel, a box of beautiful mushrooms, and peppers upon peppers upon peppers.
