The sun has made an appearance after a long winter, and it’s time to go outside. If you know anything about my dogs Ella and Louis, you know that means we’ll be going up up up. They love to hike in the Alps, and I don’t blame them. In the last few days, I’ve heard… Continue reading no matter what wanderlust comes upon me

Shining in the light of the setting sun
When you’ve got nothing interesting to say, talk about the weather. Right? Well, I’ve got plenty of interesting things to talk about….still the coming springtime is on my mind. This wasn’t the hardest winter, but I’ve been ready to usher it out the door for most of February. I’m not normally like that, which… Continue reading Shining in the light of the setting sun
Reading the paper on a Sunday
Have felt a bit out of sorts lately, and then the weekend comes around and I don’t get nearly enough done on my writing projects. I’m juggling this and that, and seemingly without warning Sunday evening sneaks up on me. What on earth have I been doing since Friday night when the vast expanse of… Continue reading Reading the paper on a Sunday
through and through
Aside from a few glimmers of the sun peaking through, it’s been a very dark late autumn here in Munich. Not that it’s an issue now, because although it’s been particularly wet the last few days, the sun is out in full force today. All that grey darkness is but a memory today.… Continue reading through and through
Mild as it’s been, enjoying late autumn
It’s been mild, we get it. November was rather warm here in Munich, and there hasn’t been much sunlight. It’s a good time to hole up and read. Or write. However, when you’ve got dogs, there’s only so long you can stay inside. I’ve tried to convince the hounds to take themselves out, but they… Continue reading Mild as it’s been, enjoying late autumn
The Future of Augmented Reality with Metaio 6
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6w1xgX3Kg] If you had walked around the stands at InsideAR last week here in Munich, you would have likely been astounded at both what was available, and more importantly, what was on the horizon in the world of AR (Augmented Reality). Because the event was hosted by Metaio, its products were firmly center stage… Continue reading The Future of Augmented Reality with Metaio 6
Getting back outside
Deep into the fantastic autumn we were promised, and now that the Oktoberfest is finally behind us we can get onto the real heart of the season. For mid October we’re having a genuine heatwave in Munich. It’s too late to call it Indian Summer, I believe. It’s warm and gorgeous in the daytime and… Continue reading Getting back outside
Fully upright, I might add (Octoberfest edition)
Sleeping rough in your best Lederhosen? Yes, it’s that time of year in Munich. The Oktoberfest has arrived and shot off with a vengeance. The celebrating is in full swing. It does look a bit like there are casualties on the hill above the huge Volksfest, as the people who started quite early take a… Continue reading Fully upright, I might add (Octoberfest edition)
Don’t Mess with the River Isar
Don’t Mess with the River Isar Oh man. This is good. There are plenty of things I’ve got to write about, but this Don’t Litter ad is making the rounds – I saw it at the Eldorado Cinema last night – and I think it’s brilliant. At the end, it says, ‘Zuhause machst du’s ja… Continue reading Don’t Mess with the River Isar
Shedding the Kummerspeck
Why do I find myself going back again and again to photos of my trip to Seville? It’s not only that it’s such a beautiful place – I’ve seen my share of those. There’s something about Spain in general and Seville in particular. So this is a bending, sunlit corridor. At this particular moment,… Continue reading Shedding the Kummerspeck
