It seems like January has barely started, and already I’m more than waist deep in work:

• A not yet announced secret project, that I honestly started with today. Something I have never done before, and something that I’m both excited and scared about. You’ll read more about it, in the months to come.
• Another secret project, that you will (if all goes well) see at Lift Conference
• regular work
• A small Lotus Notes maintenance project (my first go at Notes 7.0 – and boy does the IDE still suck)
• Another potential project coming my way with a tight deadline
• Some rails mentoring
• and all the other ideas that I’m floating constantly – there’s one that I’d really like to make happen – and I have to make it happen soon, because of the elections in switzerland this fall.

I have retreated to our flat in the mountains – thanks to my family who have let me go (and will let me go for a couple of days almost each week for the next few months). Without you I wouldn’t be able to pull this off. And I have started martial arts again: Thanks to Dannie Jost I started Aikikdo just before x-mas, and had my second lesson this week. After a long absence from the martial arts (I studied Karate for a couple of years) it’s wonderful to be doing something with my body again. And it’s absolutely fascinating to experience the smoothness and fluidity of it – in stark contrast to the movements and techniques of Karate.
