Live your dreams - great display in New York

Have a look at this cool display, which I saw at the airport in New York - No comment needed :-)

Many thanks Nina for editing the photo in photoshop to make the text better to read. My daughter is much fitter in this than I am.

Business Punk - New cool magazine

On my trip to Turkey I read a new business magazine from Gruner+Jahr (by the way a customer of mine), called "Business Punk"

I liked the claim of the magazine, which is:
„We like to work hard. We like to play hard.
We love money and all the happiness it brings us.
We like to close the bar at 4 am on a Monday night
and be at the office a few hours later.“

And it was a nice mix of business and toys for the boys.
So if you are interested, have a look at:
http://www.business-punk.com/
Make sure that you check out the video on the webpage.
This is my new reference, when I am snowboarding for the next time.

So keep on breaking stupid rules :-)

Koalitionsvertrag Bundesregierung 2009

For all of you who want to be informed more deeply on the plans of the new German government than by the headlines of the press, have a look at the full text document of the coalition agreement at:
http://pfau.e-technik1.uni-rostock.de/091024-koalitionsvertrag-cducsu-fdps.html

I am very interested in what will be realised finally.

Great vacation on a ship in Turkey

I am back from my vacation in Turkey. Nina and me had a great week of sunshine, relaxing, historic-site seeing, reading, swimming and 10 more interesting people on board. Nicole was really jealous, as she had to give lectures last week and could not join us.

This was one of our visited sites and our boat:

This was our sun deck:

This was our dance floor :-) :

And this was our sleeping place - 1 week sleeping under the stars - I love this:

As Nina and me were the only ones who were so smart to bring our sleeping bags with us, we had the deck for us while the other passengers slept in their cabins. So at least some travel knowledge still left from my backpacking days :-) and a good preparation for Nina for the upcoming backpacking trips we are going to undertake.

So if you also want to relax on a blue cruise, have a look at:

Thank you so much again Andrea Fehring for the great infos on the blue cruise :-)

Great Sixt installation at Cologne airport

Have a look at this great Sixt installation at Cologne airport:

This is really smart and funny. One of the many reasons why I am a real Sixt Fan.

Cicero: Great on- and offline political magazine

One of my favourite political magazines, I am reading, is Cicero. They have really brilliant political analysises and a great sense of humour. Their mix of authors is very good and gives an opportunity to see the current political issues from different angles. As I think, that this is one of the most important things in actively following politics, I highly recommend Cicero.

You can find it on most of the airports and online at:
http://www.cicero.de/

Cool videos for racing bike fans ...

New YELLO Album

YELLO has released a new album after a very long break. It is not their best album, but some tracks are relly good and the trailer on their web page is really cool. I especially like the text message. These guys must have had some NLP training.

Check it out at:
http://www.yello.com/

My all time favourite from YELLO is still Bostich ... a lot of good memories of school parties ...



I still have to get on the dancefloor immediately, when I hear this track.
So keep on dancing :-)

New photos on flickr

Dear familiy and friends. It is a new month and therefore my flickr-upload limit was back to 100MB.
So I uploaded some skiing pictures from the last skiing season.

You can find them on the right side of my blog or at:

I am already looking forward to the upcoming season - trips already planned :-)
