As much as I write about various ways of getting and making oneself (more) at home in this world, it is definitely my Suunto reviews and similar posts that are garnering the most attention. New additions to what has now become the Ambit family have just recently been released, so it’s definitely time for new [...]

In my last post, I already pointed to videos showing how to create and use a route with Suunto’s Ambit GPS watch. For those interested in a bit more of the data, rather than the life-philosophy background provided there, some pointers: The route created “for illustration” can be found here; the “move” made during that time [...]

As argued before, I think that what it offers us are great tools to use as symbols of our place(s) in this world and tools for their further exploration.

High time we come to be at home.
…, Or: The Best Habit Is a Tool Convenience. It is our time’s great guideline. And it’s what makes us live ever more on this world, like tourists just visiting, rather than truly at home in this world. Even “lifehackers,” who seem the best example of people who still want to learn more when they [...]
“I’m not impressed.” It is easily the ugliest modern attitude that gets expressed by this phrase. As an attempt at coolness and aloofness that does not result in any of the freedom that a certain distance from the humdrum world could provide, it is nothing but proving that you are not really engaged in this [...]
The age of adventure, the era of explorers – it all seems a thing of the past. Now, the best you can do is action sports and extreme travel – but there’s a big difference: The earlier explorers didn’t quite know what they were getting themselves into, and went to the white spots on the [...]
