Hiking trip around Whistler

By Admin

Before the Firefox Summit starts on Wednesday this week, Clint and I have decided to take 3 days off for vacation. We want to enjoy the stunning area around Whistler, which is about 100km in the north of Vancouver. British Columbia is really a beautiful area and absolutely invites you to have hiking or biking tours in the nature. Our first hiking tour yesterday was a short planned one. We bought a map of the whole area in the morning and decided which trip we wanted to do. Goal wasContinue readingHiking trip around Whistler

Phototour in the Napa Valley

By Admin

During my stay the Silicon Valley I haven’t only had a great day in San Francisco but also spent a day in the famous whine region of California called Napa Valley. Together with my co-worker Marcia we were driven up those 100 miles to mainly take pictures of the blooming mustard. The day was absolutely sunny but sadly we haven’t had luck to see lot of mustard. We were a bit too late or too early. But beside that we got a lot of impressions and enjoyed taking pictures. IContinue readingPhototour in the Napa Valley

A Day in San Francisco

By Admin

Yesterday I had a great day in San Francisco. My colleague Martijn joined me and we did a walk through the city and rented bikes to visit the Golden Gate Bridge from the other side of the bay. The weather was quiet perfect this time. But see yourself… [flickr-gallery mode=”photoset” photoset=”72157623452330001″]

17 Miles Drive

By Admin

In February I got a hint from a colleague of mine to visit the Pebble Beach Resorts. This peninsula is mostly know by golfers and a place for rich people. But also has some scenic areas you can visit as tourist. There is a street routed through the whole area which is called the 17 Miles Drive. So I picked up Marcia in the morning and we were driven to that area with my rental car. It is about 100 miles in the South from Mountain View (California). We haven’tContinue reading17 Miles Drive

Visting the Golden Gate Bridge

By Admin

Due to my new job I had to spent a whole month in California last February. I already blogged about it shortly. It was a great experience for me. Thanks to all my colleagues who made it a wonderful stay! Mozilla rocks! Beside the work and the bad weather I have taken one day to visit San Francisco. Together with Tobias Leingruber we checked the area around Pier 39, the Bay coast, and finally the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m impressed each time I see those bridges and have to thinkContinue readingVisting the Golden Gate Bridge

Staying in California

By Admin

It’s already a week ago since I had to flight-out to California. The time is passing really fast while working with such awesome people on the best web browser. Sorry that I wasn’t able to post about it yet. I hope that I’ll find time in the next days to give a short report. Just in-front a picture of the Caltrain station in Mountain View. Sadly it was only one day with sunny weather. In the last week it has been raining mostly all the time. I hope for betterContinue readingStaying in California

Lost mobile phone and experiences with Simyo service

By Admin

Over the last weekend I made a travel to visit some friends I haven’t seen for a longer time. So I decided to use the tram instead of the car, just to have a relaxed ride. Everything was fantastic and we had a great time even when the weather wasn’t as perfect as we had expected. For the return trip I also used the tram which became my inevitable fate. Now you will probably ask why? Sure, here comes the answer… Some hours later I noticed that my mobile phoneContinue readingLost mobile phone and experiences with Simyo service

First Mozilla community meeting in Germany

By Admin

In the last months a lot of things were going on in Europe. Several local communities have taken the chance to held a community event in their own Country. Probably you have read something about it in the European Mozilla Community Blog hosted by Mozilla Europe. But nothing happened in Germany so far. As a German citizen I wasn’t glad about. So we have taken the chance to organize our first community meeting ever. Thanks goes to Abdulkadir Topal who managed everything to make it a terrific event. Because weContinue readingFirst Mozilla community meeting in Germany

Exploring Vancouver and Firefox Summit 2008

By Admin

The next week or better days will be really exiting. As a contributor to the Mozilla project I was invited to join the Firefox Summit 2008 in Whistler, BC, Canada. Thanks for getting the chance! It’s deeply grateful. I’ll enjoy the days in listening to talks, having discussions with other community members and employees of Mozilla and just be able to see each one in real life (Steven, this time it will really happen!). Together with Abdulkadir Topal, who co-ordinates the German translation of Firefox and helped me a lotContinue readingExploring Vancouver and Firefox Summit 2008
