Do it with PASSION or not at all

Welcome to my small world!

This is my Ground Zero. After Google announced to kill Google Plus (or G+), which was my social universe, my creative spot to present my photo collections, my blogging home and my place to discuss and learn with and from other people, I had to rethink my online strategy. Social networks are not critical as long as you are not a content creator. If you are only consuming stuff from others, there is no problem if the platform shuts down as you can just move on to the next big thing. But for me, it is different…

“No centralized (social) regime will deny me access to my own content in the future. This is my own place, my own pocket universe.”

The unfair Beauty of Summer in Zurich

In Switzerland, spring does not gently become summer. It switches. Suddenly the lake is no longer scenery, the Limmat becomes part of the day, and Zurich turns into something almost unfair: international yet intimate, efficient yet relaxed, urban yet surrounded by water, hills and colour. In early summer, beauty is not a destination here. It becomes part of ordinary life.

Booking.com has a Security Problem. Its Support Process is Part of it.

A phishing message used real Booking.com reservation context to push a fake credit card verification page. Reporting it should have been simple. Instead, the official support path led through booking bureaucracy, hidden contact options and finally an email asking for the reservation PIN. After a breach involving customer data, Booking.com appears less like a platform prepared for cyber abuse and more like one still searching for the right department.

Is Manuel Neuer the Answer, or the Symptom?

on by

Germany is not really debating Manuel Neuer. Germany is debating whether its old certainty is still safer than its unfinished future. Neuer may still offer the world-class ceiling needed to win a World Cup, but at forty he also brings fragility, hierarchy problems and the risk of one decisive mistake. Baumann offers competence, not greatness. The question is whether Germany is choosing its best goalkeeper, or merely returning to the last answer that once worked.
