Let me try to make a post before this year is over. Almost 7 months without posting. You might be thinking that I quit the internet. But you are wrong… totally. There are just so many other things that are consuming all of my time (Reddit et al).

But first there is family. Grown to a party of four it is very exciting to see the children blossom and develop. Every single new achievement, regardless of sophistication, makes us very happy parents – day after day. I am really enjoying every minute spent with my family. Especially when riding the bike/out hiking or just going for a walk – exploring the near and not so near environment – together. To watch the kids reactions is truly amazing. With almost three months of the youngest private life is getting more and more relaxed, but in all honesty, sometimes it really was hard to say the least.

Obviously I am not that a great blogger. No news for several months. Shame on me.

Basically I just dropped by to post a new panorama: View from Behamberg to Kürnberg
Shot using new gear for taking panoramas. And I just love snowy tracks. Looks like white Christmas to me.

To sum 2009 up in a few words: the last year was great. Many personal achievements, business developing great and looking forward to an exciting 2010. Already tweaking the master plan and extracting some great goals for the next year. A year which I am quite sure will reveal some mayor milestones on our journey.

During the next weeks you are most likely to meet me somewhere between Salzburg and Vienna… maybe not at home so much. I wish you nice holidays, a happy new year and some challenging resolutions for 2010.

Today’s award for best use of Web2.0 technologies goes to Facebook user David F.

By automatic instant upload of a life photograph (most probably taken with an iPhone) to his Facebook account he managed to become internet-famous super quickly. Sadly for him not in the good sense of internet-famous. If you really want to see the nasty details you can find a screenshot of his Facebook wall here (NSFW). Be warned: the photo really is NSFW and might even be considered NSFL.

Farewell everyday life. For the next month we are visiting family in Japan again. Yes. You read it correctly: four complete weeks in Toyko. It has been a busy time since January 1st. Running a business as a one-man-show can make your life really busy. But in this case busy in the sense of a really good, very intense time. After figuring out how to spend my precious time I am looking forward to experience an exciting year. The last months were amazing and all the things which are queued to take off right after the trip are causing great vibes already.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise so be sure to check for updates in mid/end of may. In the meantime (while I am enjoying tasty asian cuisine and colorful sunsets at Odaiba beach after relaxing in traditional Japanese Onsen for hours) you are invited to take a look at a recent “just for fun” project: topsellerblog.de. The German platform for brand clothing gives you a high quality listing of brand clothes available online directly at the selling companies. Third party services like Google friend connect allow you to easily share your thoughts on the products.
