Garth’s casual Boathouse

This summer we rented a beach house in Cohasset (close to Boston) for two weeks. While we loved the place itself instantly the house was something different. The website clearly indicated that we can’t expect “fancy”, we were rather surprised … Continue reading

Couchsurfers from Lyon

July 24, 2011 by Tobias | 0 comments


After a quite long break we finally had again the pleasure of hosting couchsurfers. Kathrin, Ingolf and their little boy Maximilian are a very sweet family. It was so cute to look at our little sons (who are the same age) crawling through our apartment together. Maximilian is just adorable and his parents are great guests. We talked a lot about parenting and even more about sleep deprivation :-)

Waring Blender

The newest addition to our kitchen appliance collection is the heavy duty version of the Commercial Waring Blender directly imported from the US. We’re looking forward to the experiments in the weeks to come (Motto: “Will it blend?”).

Family Reunion

The final highlight of our holidays was a trip to Eau Claire, Wisconsin to join the family reunion of Susanna’s family (maternal side). There were aprox. 40 people taking part at this event which took place in a very nice park. We enjoyed a lot getting to know the relatives and hanging out at this lovely place.  Our fabulous hosts, Ginger, Ernie and family really made sure that we felt at home and spoiled us with preparing the richest brunch. Thank you so so much guys!
Kilian had a great time there playing with their dog who even shared his food with him :-)

Empire State Building

As a special treat to Keagan we let him choose between a helicopter flight over Manhattan or the evalator ride to the top of the Empire State Building. He choose the lather and so I went with him and  he did not only enjoy the view very much but was also completely in love with the colorful and shiny art deco interior of the building.

 

Running in Central Park

I was lucky and got a day off while Susanna went with the kids to Bronx Zoo. After sleeping till lunch I took the underground to Central Park and took the long run of 10km around the whole park. I was quite a bit surprised of how hilly the track was and it was quite hot but in the end I did it and Esther will sure confirm that I have drawn a nice pattern on the map :-)

Just click on the picture above to see some photos and the stats of the run.

Rebecca MacKinnon: Let’s take back the Internet!

July 14, 2011 by Tobias | 0 comments

In this powerful talk from TEDGlobal, Rebecca MacKinnon describes the expanding struggle for freedom and control in cyberspace, and asks: How do we design the next phase of the Internet with accountability and freedom at its core, rather than control? She believes the internet is headed for a “Magna Carta” moment when citizens around the world demand that their governments protect free speech and their right to connection
