Slavuta Bike-fest 2010
Last weekend I visited bike-fest in Slavuta. It was my first bike-fest and I went there without bike, but there where a lot of people without its :), so I was not alone. There where a lot of entertainments and also we have rested very well on the river. Some pictures from this fest are below and full photo report could be found here: picasaweb.google.com/serhiy.lyakhov/2010#
Gordon Research Conference
Not available in English (cba to translate it :P)
В неділю 27 червня почалася Гордонівська Дослідницька Конференція присвячена високому тискові (звісно, не артеріальному :)). Такі конференції проходять починаючи з тридцятих років 20 століття. Спочатку вони проводилися лише по хімії, а зараз протягом року відбувається кілька сотень конференцій по найрізноманітнішим галузям природничих наук.
Kiev Zoo July 2010
I visited Kiev zoo for the first time since I moved to Kiev and there is not much to see, however some strange thing happen with monkeys.
Either zoo staff adds something to the meal or they give them something to smoke :). Look at video below:

American weight scale
Lately I bought an electronic weight scale that permanently reduce the real weight if you measure in kg. Though when you switch to lb then everything is fine. For example my wife has weight of 63 kg (139 lb), but it says she weights only 60 kg. The pound weight is correct - 139. I guess these cheap chinese guys who designed the piece didn’t build-in a proper conversion. However it’s not that bad, is it?
Now you can safely eat cookies and muffins, without feeling sad about your weight.
Same thing with an electronic thermometer. it shows correct temperature in F, but when you switch to C then the normal body temperature is suddenly 35.9. Oh, well…
