I’m on my way to the US for the first time in 2025. The last time I was there was in November 2024. This business trip is short and packed with work meetings back-to-back. One advantage of this packed agenda is that I’m returning home again before the weekend. While I love traveling for work nothing beats being home.

Links worth reading #007
It’s been a while since I last posted a ‘Links worth reading’ here. Below are four websites I recently bookmarked. Enjoy looking at them.
- I’m in the market for a new backpack/daypack for my 1-2 day travels within Europe. While searching for some reviews from other frequent travelers, I stumbled upon the Pack Hacker website. The guides and reviews are worth a visit if you are a bit of a travel nerd like me who is always searching for additional storage optimization.
- The Blue Ghost Mission 1: Ghost Riders in the Sky album on Flickr has some very cool moon pictures and fly-by videos.
- reMarkable Methods was introduced by reMarkable. If you own a reMarkable and use it daily for note-taking, I highly recommend the Meeting Minutes and the Daily to-dos templates. I started using both, and they have greatly increased my productivity compared to using the previous default medium grid notebooks.
- Reinier Ladan’s blog pointed me to My Life in Weeks. Please have a look and think about how short our lives are.
Do you like the links I shared above? In that case, you might also like my previous links worth reading. They are here.
thingsThisWeek #009
This past week was our annual family ski holiday week. We enjoyed ourselves in the Austrian Alps in Ehrwald for the tenth year in a row. We didn’t do much besides skiing, après-skiing, dining, and laughing with friends.
This update is a little shorter than usual because of the holiday week.
the Hochfelder Alm (2)
This is another picture from the Hochfelder Alm, taken a bit higher up on the mountain. I like it when you go up here early in the morning when the clouds are still in the valley.
the Zugspitze Massif

This is the view from Lermoos towards the Zugspitze Massif, which is on the border of Germany and Austria.
