Scuba diving The latest hobby of mine is scuba diving. Fortunately, I live relatively close to the Adriatic sea which has quite a number of diving locations with interesting shipwreck sites, underwater caves and sea life. Before.. ..and after the dive. Sanjin has some other hobbies as well.. ..like kite flying. Zeljko, the frogman :)       Redmond In the summer of 2002 I attended the C# summer camp in Redmond (Seattle, WA). This developer conference took place on Microsoft campus and was partially sponsored by C# development team. We had a really nice week and a chance to meet the guys "guilty" of the big part of the hype around .NET. Entrance to Microsoft campus in Redmond. Funny guys at .NET Enterprise Servers building. The campus looks more like a park than a center of a "big, evil empire". There was more than 250 IBM workstations in the main conference room. Space needle, the famous landmark of Seattle. Extended version of a Blackbird supersonic plane, exhibited in the Boeing museum of Flight.   Microsoft During the one year in the Microsoft Croatia office, I had an opportunity to organize some large events in Croatia (VS.NET launch had more than 350 people), and participate in even larger ones (TechEd 2002 in Barcelona had more than 5500 participants). Keynote at the Visual Studio .NET launch event in Croatia. The antenna in the background is the famous landmark of Barcelona. I was there as a TechEd 2002 participant. Part of the TechEd 2002 Croatian team. Taken at the main TechEd party. Keynote at the MSDN event in Bosnia and Herzegovina.   Bungee jumping Although many people are afraid of bungee because of kinetic forces, the hardest part about it is purely psychological -- after you throw yourself everything goes smoothly. Before the jump. After the jump!       Gdanjsk In October 2001 I attended the European Forum of Young Scientists in Gdansk, Poland. The lady at the UNESCO office had reserved a plane ticket for the very first commercial flight between Zagreb and Warsaw. As a result, that morning I was the only passenger in the jet! I spent most of the flight talking with the pilots in the cockpit. Sitting in the cockpit. Landing down. Main conference room.   Summer camping Our brave group just after the arrival to Zaton camp. All I need is a few oilfields and a harem. Believe it or not, the picture was taken at 11 AM. Too much partying for Sonja :)   Romania With BEST student organization, I attended "Resurrect your wild spirit" event in Romania. That was seven days of extreme sports and fun in the Romanian mountains. Rock climbing. Students from Denmark, Estonia, Romania, Greece, Italy, Sweden and Croatia. After 10 hours of mountain climbing every day I was able to fall asleep at almost any place.   Other Getting the diploma at graduation ceremony. My high school class at the five year reunion. For comparison, click here. The traditional Kraljevica masquerade, featuring my alter ego. Graduation excursion to the island of Crete. The cathedral of Notre Dame, at the heart of Paris. In front of the Eiffel Tower, still decorated from the New Year 2000 party. Damir, my last roommate, cleaning my bike in the middle of our room. Leo, my old roommate, in his usual studying position.       Family Family gathering at a Chinese restaurant. My brother, father and me sailing on the grandpa's boat many years ago. We didn't catch any fish that day (nor any other day), but who cares...
