It was ten years ago today, that my friend Sebastian and I packed up my dad’s Lada estate with all the personal possessions we could fit into it, mounted our bikes on the roof and set off for Hamburg to catch the ferry to Harwich. Sebastian went back to Berlin a year later, but I […]
Mike Rowehl of Admob has a great story about how the Gmail for Mobile Java client saves him on his current trip to India. It is nice to know that we can make a difference to some people’s lives.
Surfing! Hurrah, yesterday I went surfing for the first time in my life. It was awesome. A couple of colleagues from Google had organised a lesson with the Richard Schmidt Surf School down in Santa Cruz.
It happened to be one of the hottest days ever. On the way over from the valley our car registered […]
The Sea, the Sea. I really love the Pacific and these wide sandy beaches they have here. Especially that you can have such an awesome city with huge beaches like this this one.
One of my favourite things to do in the valley has become early morning lap swimming at Rinconada pool in Palo Alto. I love outdoor pools and this one, though a bit shabby, is in a very nice setting and very convenient just off 101. It is a crying shame that so few outdoor pools […]

I will be going to two matches in Berlin: Brazil vs. Croatia on June 13 and Sweden vs. Paraguay on June 15. […]
I am quite impressed with the amazing tree like support structures in this airport. You don’t really notice them on the ground, but as I was looking for a place to sit and waste a couple of hours I ended up on a type of gallery. And from here these things look amazing. At the […]
I have not flown out of Heathrow Terminal 2 for a while and am shocked by how prehistoric it seems compared to the refurbished Terminal 1. I was also shocked by the tiny Lufthansa lounge after getting so used to the vast expanse of the BA Terraces and Champagne Bar in T1. Creature comforts […]
