A one week get-away sees me refreshed I guess despite what the article on vacation in last Saturday’s FAZ suggested (who has the time to take four weeks off anyway). While I did check on work email I maybe interacted eight times in total, including three telephone calls. Considering the status of some projects I am very happy about that.
Back at the desk today I am catching up today, nudging here and there and getting my system back on the grid. Speaking of which. I am going to try the offline version of bubble timer for a while and compare notes with the results of rescuetime, trying to get down emailing and skyping, despite having lots of fun with especially the latter.
Having said that, what can you expect here? Well, to put it a bit cryptic yet, a lot has been going on on the side lately, meaning job- and family-wise but certain decisions will allow me to focus interests while serving content to multiple places. However, my previous decision to stop tumbling, stop planetsab.de, stop poebler.de and force everything upon you from this place, but of course, there shall be one exception in regard to the previously mentioned decision.
Going further, I have collected several thoughts for great “How-to” and “top 5” posts on personal management, life hacking and of course marketing which you can expect to start popping up any day now. In addition, more book reviews are coming out on kanal14.de and I’ll damned if I cannot find a sponsor for the more than 2700 subscribers and closing in to 1mm viewers/last year of the Speaking English Podcast. And I’ll experiment with the new phone to publish videos easier to all three sites along the way.
Posterous, well I don’t know. I have to play around with it, but am still not sold. Maybe when “theming” does get introduced, but I don’t know the company well enough to judge how soon “soon” is…
Anyway, have a great fall season, see you around.

Sab: One week off? Are you turning American on me? Do you remember asking me when you lived in the states if it shouldn’t be illegal to work as many hours as I did? On that same note, the speaking English podcast is great. It reminds me of when you used to try to help me with the umlaut pronunciations. Although you don’t put sauce on a salad. You put dressing on it.

Yeah, one week only. I need some days left to be able to stay home come October…
Dressing instead of sauce, that’s a good point. You’ll get an extra mention in the next episode.

Sab: You should do a series for English speakers who want to learn German. Thanks for the mention.
