If skate-sailing is your thing and
Paris your kind of town, I have the perfect location for you. By all means, try doing this on Quai d'Orsay next to the Air France terminal. You'll have the fresh wind from the Seine, more than enough space for maneuver and the attention of both tourists and motorists. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you where to get the gear (I don't know). But surely, if skate-sailing is your thing, you do. So, smooth sailing!

If you are (like some of the contributors to this site) a
designer, a musician, a video artist or anybody else with
a penchant for using Apple computers, I have just
the right idea of your September vacation.
Open up your iCal and mark the dates in your favorite color:
from 12th to 16th of September you are going to be in Paris,
checking out new super-slim screens, extra-mighty mice
and nanoscale iPod's all while chatting with your European kin.
I am reminded that last year the event didn't feature any major
announcements from the company. There were no keynote speeches
either. But the year before, it did! So, your guess is as good
is mine on whether we'll see anything major announced in Paris
this year. I doubt it matters, though, because the event primarily
serves as a bonne excuse for going to France for "professional"
reasons. Perhaps, I don't need to tell you that it's tax deductible
and if worst comes to worst, you won't regret this trip as much
next April.
