  • It suddenly got quiet here

    That’s mainly because I am pretty busy preparing the move to London and all that’s associated with it. There’s a lot to do and it seems to be more every day – but it’s a lot of fun moving abroad again.

    We (Nicolas, my former and future housemate ) found a beautiful flat in Islington, a really nice neighborhood in the northeastern part of London. Not only will the commute be manageable, by a lucky coincidence a lot of my London friends also live pretty close. Nicolas is already on the ground in London, so the apartment hunt was very easy for me (“Oh, you found a place. Awesome.”). I understand that this was supposed to be how I get to know the city a bit (and see a lot of other people’s bathrooms), but what can I do…

    This coming weekend I will be in London to set up my life in the Kingdom and, more importantly, adjust to left sided traffic. I am still quite certain that this is the biggest safety hazard I will encounter, so hold your thumbs for me on this one.

  • How to be an Investment Guru

    I almost never post videos, but this interview between Mike Arrington and Ron Conway ist too good to miss. Ron Conway is probably the most active business angel in the Valley and this is how he works.
