So, after a long period of blogging abstinence I am giving it another try. I have been active online the whole time: twitter, tumblr (and tumblr II) and even started this whole Third Wave Wichteln thing. But somehow I really missed my blog. Writing about food, design, music, life and all that other stuff that arouses [...]
I wouldn’t say I am a car person. I like cars just like any other things, like electronic devices, architecture. But not as much as food or music. I would say I am interested and I like beeing invited to events about cars (especially design related) but I am not that passionate about it. Until [...]
A few weeks ago the hard drive of my MacBook Pro said good bye. I think by now it is the 3rd hard drive that died. This time I ordered a SSD. All the people I know who has one, recommended it. And since I learned that besides the immense speed the durability of the [...]
In Istanbul I fell in love with Mezze – /ˈmɛzeɪ/ – the Middle Eastern version of tapas. Small delicacies – warm, cold, meat, fish, vegetarian… Last November my girlfriend and I flew to Istanbul – an amazing city. If you haven’t been there yet, you should go.

No additional comment needed. :)

They published it on Eater, but a while later the video was set on private (I will post it, as soon as it’s online again – hopefully). It’s a shame because René’s talk was amazingly inspiring. For [...]
What would you do if you had one extra day? Like an 8th day in the week. Within this beautiful beautiful video a couple is answering this question. Enough said, watch it! Thanks Marcus, for pointing out to this.
Fernweh [ˈfɛʁnˌveː] is one of these brilliant German words that puts so much into just few letters. It is the yen to see distant places, like “wanderlust” but much more intense. As you know I love travelling and I love inspiration. And of course also the combination of gathering inspiration to travel makes me spent hours [...]
In my last post I wrote about how my online usage is interest-based. For example I like sandwiches, that’s why I follow certain people on Twitter, follow certain sources on QUOTEfm, like certain things on Facebook, collect certain lists on Foursquare. One important aspect is consumption. I buy things because I am interested in them [...]
