VC guy from Cologne, Germany.I love DIY, photos, books, food and things that make you feel well, like new sneakers.
This blog contains pics, reblogs, quotes, links and me. It is mostly a snapshot of little things making my day, ranging from the private to the ultimately professional.

“Withdrawal symptoms — possibly including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, drowsiness, insomnia and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints — may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to “normal” levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption.”

This is pretty much what i experienced during my first days of lent (no coffee, alcohol, sugar, and meat). Now i need less sleep, am more aware and MUCH better at multi-tasking.
I do miss a good coffee, though.

Nice one. Looks like a summary that is fun to read and gets done what a summary should do: make things easy to understand and, well, summarize.

I love weekends.
Not necessarily because I’m off work, more bcause of the thrill of starting every day with “what do i want to do today”.
I try to get everything duty-related (bills, admin stuff, gym, phone calls) done during weeknights so i can doodle around come saturday. I would never have the leisure to do stuff like setting up my workshop, reading meaningful amounts of books and magazines, enjoying a sunny day and time with Isabelle if i wasn’t disciplined during the week. Even if that meens stressful evenings.
Of course, work and stuff like that is on my mind, but I have much more time to actually think through things that need to be taken care of. From a distance, you can actually see the big picture everybody keeps talking about (and usually leaves it at that, talking). Also, when I goof off making stuff, cooking, or reading, I tend to have the best ideas. Thankfully, ideas are quite important in my day job.
We just spent an awesome afternoon exploring a park in Cologne that we haven’t seen before. Just us, the sun, and a good time. A nice café afterwards, now on to reading and maybe some gym time later - before heading out for our anniversary dinner. Maybe that’s why i love weekends. I see more of Isa.

“What would happen, for example, if we were to start thinking about food as less of a thing and more of a relationship?”
