It is just crazy what I do to loose weight, even went to donate blood today to loose a bit. No, just kidding of course. They actually called me yesterday at the blood donation center in Basel to ask if I could pass by, they needed my blood type (blood group). My blood is of […]
Consoles: Current, previous and Next-Gen mess
I just came across following headline “Xbox 360 to win next-gen console race?” over at GameIndustry.biz and no I’m not writing this to pick on them but it was just the very last case of generation mess I saw. I notice this issue many times before. So it is about Xbox 360 and winning the […]
The Golden Compass: Movie vs Book
2008-01-13: Updated: Thanks to the comment from Rach who made me look into the real title of the book. I mentioned earlier that it was change from Northern Lights into The Golden Compass when it became a movie.

Happy New Year Guess it is a bit late but since this is the first post in 2008 I would like to take the chance and wish the readers of my blog a Happy New Year. I hope the people who set New Year resolutions and goals for 2008 didn’t give up yet. I’m still […]
No Real New Year Resolution but goals for 2008
Update: Thanks to Henrik for noticing that the title of the blog entry was ‘….2007’ and not ‘…2008’ as it should be.. Shame on me. I was never much into New Year resolutions, often they sounded as bad excuses for delaying something you already could get started with, such as “In 2008 I’m going to […]

Monitors on My Mind, I need a Square Monitor
Update: On the 30th of December 2010 I posted a follow up on this blog post, find it here. I have often been wondering why monitors are like they are; why don’t they make square monitors. Let’s have a look at previous/current monitors and why I think that wide screen monitors often are no good. […]
Come on, turn that computer off
Oh no, don’t turn the computer off now, do read this first. Lot’s of people don’t turn their computers off when they are finished with them; either at home or at their work place.

Down under and why not up over
One of my friends (whom I also work with) lives in Australia and I hear him from time to time use the expression “Down under”, such as “That’s all from down under” and I have also used it myself as “How goes down under?” As most people know; ‘down under’ refers to Australia (and New […]
