I never climbed the Himalaya, I never wanted to. I still do not want to. I remember being in Denver some years ago and having to go to an office on the 17th floor with some super fast elevator and always having been amazed at my own trust in Engineering. I do not fear heights. [...]

If there is one thing that I want to hang on to right now, it is the lesson that life has been teaching me for the past few days, weeks, even months. I am being taught to be humble whether I like it or not. The universe has little regard for my likings, much less [...]

Once more within a few days I just got back from watching a film with Frédéric. This time is was “Je vous trouve très beau” which I was pleasantly surprised by. The title is really corny, and then it is a french comedy, and that would make it even cornier. Granted that it has its [...]

Shortbus is my kind of Christmas flick. Fréderic and I just went to see it on the late showing on Saturday, afterwards he returned to the office to pick up something or other, and I took a taxi back home.

Just got home after having a bottle of wine and some intense exchange and conversation with one of my best friends, Remo. He is working like crazy, and I am working like mad, the only difference is that we do not do the same kind of work. He works as legal counsel for a well [...]

I sometimes ask Stowe - and other good people - rather pointed questions in public, like I did in Lisbon during Shift, but then, that is what makes the difference in the substance of Reboot, Shift or Lift compared to what happens when something goes awry.
You may twist your words around and express it like [...]

Yesterday after an intense two-hour meeting at one of the ivory towers of the swiss-academic-construct, my colleague and I were having a discussion about our roles in the present project. To us, it is clear that we are the architects, and that those commissioning the work are the building’s owners. It is a nice metaphor [...]

I am dearly tired. I am exhausted, and to the point that I may just have forgotten for a short while whom I think that I might be.
This post is being was edited several times. I have not yet figured out a smart way of getting [...]
