I attended Barcamp Bodensee in Friedrichshafen yesterday. Very enjoyable. Big thank you to the organizers. It was worth getting up early. It started with breakfast and an emotional greeting by Oliver Gassner: “The internet is made of people.” And it was truly impressive to see so many people attending and participating. The location at Zeppelin… Continue reading Barcamp Bodensee 2012

Blogging advice in 2012 err… 2011: “Don’t look at it as a Blog ”“ It’s content distribution.” Heh, I thought blogging’s dead?! It’s the first of May – a public holiday in my part of Switzerland. I am listening to BBC radio and reading news distributed via Facebook and Twitter. Random useless fact of the… Continue reading 1 May 2012

Bike tour to Bad Säckingen and back
I cycled over 60 km to Bad Säckingen via an unwanted detour to Liestal, and then on to Rheinfelden, Möhlin, Wallbach, Stein. I cycled back on the German side via Schwörstadt, Grenzach-Wyhlen. No mountains. A few hills. I only took a few photos. Coming soon.
Bike tour Basel to Bad Bellingen and back
A quick blog post to document Monday’s mini tour to Bad Bellingen and back. I wanted to avoid cycling along the Rhine cos it is so monotonous and boring on the German side (done it before and found it boring). I started ok but somewhere between Märt and Efringen-Kirchen all bicycle path signs took me… Continue reading Bike tour Basel to Bad Bellingen and back
Saint Peter
Some architecture snapshots of a church built in the mid sixties. Unfortunately the door was closed so I’ll have to go back for the glass windows.
Bike tour to Kandern and back
From Basel about 17 km one way. Via Weil am Rhein, Binzen and Wollbach, along the railway tracks to Kandern. Easy ride. Wow, Google Maps now offers a bicycle option in its Get Directions menu. Though not for the route below. View Larger Map

Best photo of 2010?
How do I find my best photo of 2010 on Flickr? Not easy. I need an app for that. I (still) don’t edit my photos according to composition or technical aspects. I have been uploading snapshots at regular intervals. Despite a busy schedule. Still following my motto: Document your life. Some spontaneous selections: Feb 27,… Continue reading Best photo of 2010?
A snapshot a day…
I am always taking photos… Not sure how to take this hobby to the next level. I am very involved and I hope I can convey the fun and enjoyment that I experience while I am on my discovery journey. Have a good week 🙂 Alles wird gut. Andra’ tutto bene.

I stumbled across a list of places to see in Basel (link now broken) and decided to venture out and have a look at some of the listed architecture. Freidorf Residential Estate (1920) by Hannes Meyer in Muttenz near Basel Antoniuskirche (1927), near Kannenfeldplatz, Basel by Karl Moser I really like this church building. It… Continue reading Buildings to see in Basel

My Basel bicycle tip
I managed to break the key of my bicycle lock last night. Tomotec helped me to extract the broken key from the lock for free. Thank you. Tip: remember to lubricate your bicycle lock at regular intervals!
Connecting to the Internet from Blantyre
Just got back from visiting family in beautiful Blantyre. It’s rainy season now and there are regular rain showers every other day. Everything is green and lush. The sun is hot. The air is moist. And the shopping centres and outdoor markets of Blantyre are busy with holiday shopping. And except for a couple of… Continue reading Connecting to the Internet from Blantyre

Return of the Blog
Gigaom recently published an article that highlights an important point. A point that has been resonating through my head since Lift 07: In this incredible sea of data that surround us, what happens to my data when a service like Twitter or Flickr or FriendFeed is sold to another company. Gigaom writes: The cynical me… Continue reading Return of the Blog
