I just took the time to add a couple of books to the… well… Books section. Among them are some must reads if you ask me, so go check them out!

I finally took the time to update the page again. Not only are the existing pages (save the CV pages) featuring the latest information now, there are also some new pages up and running.

You can now find a site notice as well as a sub-site about the comics I read. I’m thinking about adding some more information, but I can’t come up with a date at this point, so please bear with me for the time being.

As always, any feedback is appreciated! Let me know what you want to read about and I’ll think of adding it to the site.

Thanks to the amazing WordPress plug-in WPtouch, my homepage now also features special support for mobile devices. In case you’re one of the many iPhone / Android / some other smart phone users out there (or you found some miraculous way to get your hands on an iPad early – in which case tell me how you did it!), your viewing experience of the page should be dramatically increased now!

WPtouch displays the page in a smart phone friendly format, reducing page load time while increasing usability at the same time. I didn’t really find the time to test the plug-in, but it appears to me that it works like a charm. In case you’re expecting some issues, please let me know.

Being able to read a match correctly can make the difference and help you to score wins even against your worst match-ups. Despite popular believe, there are more ways to read a game than to understand what your opponent might be holding up his sleeve. Check out this week’s article to learn a little more!

Suppe für den soul – Reads.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like my homepage can keep up with the current speed of change that I’m facing in my life. Therefore, some of the sub-sites aren’t up to date and contain outdated information. I just managed to update the community management page (deleted the BattleForge entry and updated the information for eTCG.de and Warcraft-TCG.de), so let’s call that a start. I’ll soon update the Writing page as well as the rest of the homepage.

This is a bad month for my website. One should think I had plenty of time to update my site; after all I had a week off, however, I didn’t really take the time to publish any news. Sorry fans, there will be better times ahead, I promise.

It was about time to update some of the work pages (as I didn’t mention BattleForge.com there although my current job is to take care of that site), so I finally did that today. I changed the title of the page about the websites I’m active on from “Websites” to “Community Management” as… well, that’s what I’m doing there and I heard that’s much better from a Search Engine’s point of view (you might ask: Who the hell cares for a Search Engine’s point of view?! – well, blame yourself as you’re also most likely one of these guys who originally got aware of this site via Google!).

After providing this site with a do-over, I had to realize that the other work pages could need some updates, too. So well, I fixed them as well (some of the tags were really buggy and even though you won’t see a change it will be less messy from… a Search Engine’s point of view – OK, enough with the fucking Search Engines already!). On a related note: Huntik-TCG.de got banished from my favorite sites and BattleForge.com took the spot.

I found 3 typos in my texts which could be considered a (sad) record, but I’m actually more shocked about the fact that no one ever made me aware of them. Dear readers, I’m a perfectionist and if I would have known that there are such silly mistakes on my web presence, I wouldn’t sleep. So in case you find any more mistakes, just let me know. I’ll be thankful, believe me!

Well, that’s pretty much it for the time being. Check out the pages again and learn some more about my new job. Ah, and I didn’t explain the term “BluePoster” so in case this doesn’t ring a bell, write a comment (yes, this is actually a cheap and diabolic trick to engage my readers in a conversation! I don’t mind making use of such measures!)!

Finally, I was able to update the Books page. I added short reviews of Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point as well as of Sir Ken Robinson’s Out of our Minds – Learning to be creative. Both books make up for a great read, so you better check them out. Especially if you liked Ken Robinson’s TED talk.

It seemed like I was following pretty much every internet trend (you can use to waste your time) despite Twitter. Well, it finally got me interested enough to try it out, so I signed up for my very own account. You may follow my tweets either on my Twitter page or you just look at the sidebar on the right that will list the most recent tweets.

I have changed the layout of the site a little. With the addition of the site about the books I read, I pretty much ruined the original layout. So now I have rearranged the various sites under work (event management, writing and websites) and hobbies (books and more to follow soon).

Have fun exploring the new part that will also go through an update pretty soon!
