ABOUT ME

All about me wouldn't fit in this box.
I have lived in 3 countries and know some 5 professions.
But I constantly meet people here with way more interesting stories.

PHILOSOPHY

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal. -- Oscar Wilde

The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else up.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. -- Bertrand Russell

Never apologize, never explain. Your friends already understand and your enemies will never believe you. -- Benjamin Disraeli

Music, Movies, and Books

"The Voyage of the Beagle" by Charles Darwin is a really great travel story!
For the more computer-savvy "Daemon" and "Freedom" by Daniel Suarez is a science-fiction story with a modern idea for humanity's development. In this direction "Ender's Game" and sequels are also wonderfully thought-provoking yet fun to read.

flying helicopters, electronics, hacking, crossing the Alps with a bike... I know about a lot of stuff and I don't know even more ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

cooking some German traditional food, fix things, practice German, tell you about the Great White North, show awesome pictures, philosophize and challenge your view of the world.
Just have a good time and rest if you like.
