Yesterday we found some time to work on our garbasail again. There's not much exciting to say about that but I've got some neat little pictures for you, so read on! ;)

It all started when I randomly browsed the Urban Dictionary (I think I was collecting data to find out how their ranking algorithm works) and came across the term garbasail. Since I found the pictures there quite cool, I googled a bit about it, read the garbasail website (warning: Flash) and eventually told a friend about it. He was quite enthusiastic about it and said we should build one too one day. So the idea for the project was born but some more time went by (it wasn't the right time of year anyway) until my friend planned to celebrate his birthday at the seaside. Until then we wanted to get it done so we started planning the garbasail in detail. A few sketches later we started looking for the right materials and yesterday we finally got there: we had everything we needed and the first construction phase could begin.

I want to advertise a little for a really great project: Qunu is a service where you can search for topics you need help with - and then get connected to experts or other users from this field. You can chat immediately with other people who are well versed in it! And you can do that without installing any additional software.
