In my general-topic English-language Blog, I write about the things that elevate or irritate me on any particular day. You'll find quite a lot of travel entries, but also book, podcast and product reviews, technology ravings, etc.
Please note that all entries before 2020 are archived on the Old English Blog page.

I'm an IT guy - I not only studied computer science in college, but have worked in IT since 1991. That my life revolves around technology, especially information technology, isn't a surprise. Here, I rant and rave about all sorts of IT topics, sorted into categories such as Android, Apple, Internet, etc.

For IT-related topics, please visit my IT-Blog.

Older blog entries are found in the "Old Travel Reviews" blog page, which represent 100% of my opinion on many of the places I've stayed, eaten at or visited. Guaranteed to be unbiased (just kidding).

I've rated the places with 1-5 stars next to the name. These are equivalent to the stars you'll find on Amazon.com or other sites, i.e., if the name has only one star next to it, you really don't want to stay, eat or go there - if it has 5, it is most highly recommended. I personally would not revisit a place I rated 2 stars.

I also publish many of these reviews on Tripadvisor.com.
