Blog/Site Redesign

On the last few weekends, whenever I had a little time to spare, I worked on a redesign of this blog / site. Most of it should be done by now and I made the changes live, so you can see it! Feedback is appreciated, but don’t be harsh, as I am not a designer (but always willing to learn new things)!

I have to get back to do some ‘real work’, so the fine tuning may take some time, but I want to give credit already to the creators of material that I have used:

Thank you!

BusinessWeek compares two successful IT companies from the Silicon Valley: Apple and Google. The following points stand out: Work Ethic, The employees who matter and How decisions get made. In those regards, the companies are completely the opposite and still this is the major driver for their success.

Now think about it. What drives your company?

The secret to changing the world isn’t you having good ideas. It’s getting those ideas into the heads of other people.

Very interesting article and worth reading:

Birthday Statistics

First of all: Happy new year once again!

My birthday’s already been a few weeks ago and obviously many people send me their congratulations (go figure!). Apart from those who met me face to face, I received the greetings through many different channels. I thought it could be interesting to see which channel is the most popular, so I made the math:

As you can see … Facebook is the most popular channel! I assume this is because Facebook has reminders for birthdays and people are already on the site so they use the same site to send their message. The Facebook channel again breaks down to wall messages, private messages, messages sent through applications and comments on one of my own posts.

E-Cards, E-Mails, IM, SMS and phone calls where all there, as you can see. The most unexpected was the message in XING … and of course the Twitter direct message. 140 characters are enough for everybody, right?!
