I am just using the new WordPress application from within Yahoo Mail (beta). What is the benefit using WordPress from within Y!Mail, why not go directly to WordPress? Well, looks like I come across my Yahoo! Mail many times a day while I constantly forget to sign in at WordPress. So I might be reminded to post more often…

The next step: all kids in preschool
In General Stuff on January 27, 2009 at 9:22 pmBeginning next month, we’ll have 3 kids in a US preschool (or jr. preschool) in the US. It means everybody in our family will soon be +2yrs and we progress to the next step. It also means we have a bit more time whenever the kids are gone, plus we have at least the good feeling that it is good for the kids to grow up bilingually (I doubt it will last long once we moved back to Germany).
We also have about one year left in the US. Maybe a bit more, who knows, but roughly one year. There are still many things we want to see and many things we want to buy (because it is cheaper here…. and who cares about a US keyboard, just drop those German Umlauts!). Let’s see if we can travel all places we want to. My wife will soon visit friends we met here in Minnesota, plus I will soon again go to Squaw, the so far best snowboarding resort I found here (I have been to Homewood, CA, which has an awesome view at Lake Tahoe and to Kirkwood, CA so far). We’ll see if we can make a final trip up to Canada, especially to Vancouver. Vancouver is the place I did my MBA, where I still got some friends and it is a place I really fell in love with. There are probably many nice cities, but having spent so much time there and ‘knowing’ a great city more than just a tourist is indispensable.
Let’s see. We also accept visitors for 2009 now. The calendar is filling for March, June and August already. Want to visit? We’re here until 2010…
Next Stop: Munich. I miss the Saunas, really.
Winter in California
In General Stuff on January 13, 2009 at 2:53 amIf you do not live in California, you might have noticed it really got cold outside. California was colder, too, the last couple of days, but again today temperatures were in the 20C area and we were able to have lunch outside.
It is still too cold, as winter is a relative thing. If you are used Californian summers, winter is still….. cold. And I immediately got a strange throat infection that I am carrying around since a week now.
What would happen if you come from aCA summer directly into a German winter….. uuuh. Without some extra Sauna sessions I believe my body would not be ready.
