ABOUT ME
My friends would probably say that I'am hardcore computer geek and bicycle lover. I'm also a former PC gamer and really enjoy playing all sorts of [RL :)] games. So basically I'm calm, curious and generally nice person :)
EDIT after approx 2 years:
Trying to mindfully experience every possible moment from having fun with friends while chasing girls to enjoying bodyweight fitness, partying, dancing or meditating and philosophizing.
MENTORS / PERSONAL HEROES/ INSPIRATIONS:
I try to learn from every person in my life, but most impact on my early life was my mothers openness to new ideas and my fathers sickening work ethics. Also my great hero is my grandmother which is now 95 year young and is totally mobile and mindful! She has taught me a lot of things but minimalism and kindness are above others.
Other amazing people that had and still have a great influence over me are:
Randy Pausch
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Elliott Hulse
Les Brown
Tony Robbins
and many more.
PHILOSOPHY
“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies:
know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and
lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Music, Movies, and Books
Some books that resonated with me: For the win and Little brother by Corry Doctorow, Blink by Malcom Gladwell, Orwell's 1984...
Music is really big part of my life and I'm listining to all kinds of it and really love to experiment.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The moment that really imprinted in my mind was when I was riding my bike down hill 77 km/h. That happened only once and was half woow and half scary :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to speak to people about free operating systems like GNU/Linux and free/libre software in general. Why should they use them and why they are so important.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can always offer my time and attention. I like to listen to other peoples stories and experiences and hopefully share some of my funny stories and have an amazing time :-)))
