Phew, where do I start? Let’s just say the past two months have been quite eventful! The latest and not so great thing actually concerned this website itself. It was down for a few days while I was changing providers. I went from GoDaddy to the cheaper and much (!) simpler Hover. If you ever had to make your way through an order at GoDaddy you know what I mean. Additionally Hover has an awesome support crew that gave me updates every single time something changed with the status of my failed transfer. I’m not really sure what exactly went wrong during the domain transfer but this site – as you can see – is back up again and won’t be going anywhere soon.

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. The past few weeks have been pretty packed and the upcoming weeks don’t look any better. Some things didn’t and won’t work out the way they were planned. On the other hand other possibilities are just around the corner. Realizing what you love to do in life is more important than a shortcut to some random goal you have set for yourself. But maybe that’s just me…

I spent last friday and saturday at IFA in Berlin and had some time to walk around the floors. It’s one of if not the biggest consumer electronics show worldwide, right up there with CES in Las Vegas. On saturday morning, right before the show opened to the public, there were hundreds of people coming from every side of the place in front of the south entry. Although I didn’t have that much time for wandering around, there were some exhibitors who really made an impression. (By the way: for anyone looking for the giant letters, they can be found at the south entry.) (more…)

A few days ago Daniel and I went to Düsseldorf airport to take some photos. After a few minutes the German border police drove past us behind the gates. Another few minutes later, we have already left the original spot at the gate, they showed up outside the gate.

They didn’t mind us at all, unlike their colleagues in the US and UK as of late. Does anyone actually keep track of these happenings? I’d love to take part in creating a website to document these things, which recently seem to get out of hand.

This is actually the best description of the situation. (And no, I don’t read Valleywag regularly.)

Just needed to get this out there.

Man, it’s really annoying to get sick during a great vacation that takes you to a really great city with awesome people. But these people around you make it so much better even though you aren’t able to do much.
