I occasionally get physically active and do some training. I was figuring out what kind of physical activity that I could do when I'm sitting. This is when I thought about doing some exercises for the forearm. As I'm someone who loves to DIY, I wanted to figure out which actions I want my forearm to do, and I remember …

Climbing the Pentatonic scales Recently, I can say that I made very good progress playing across the neck of my guitar. I memorized few pentatonic shapes, but I was stuck the whole while on those specific boxes. The whole thing did not make any sense to me. Just wandering within those boxes is not pleasant music. …

Disclaimer: I'm not paid to write about this post, this is purely my ownership experience using these boots! A blog on a pair of shoes? A bit unusual for my blog that I'm writing about a pair of shoes. It is still just a shoe, but it is a Red Wing Chukka, the 3140 in the Oro-Iginal leather. There is a reason why I'm …

I have been documenting so far with Blogger. Recently I started to do some Robotics projects with ROS. As I was doing it, I was looking for ways to get all what I do be documented. I know Github offers GH Pages, but I was a bit reluctant to try it out. So for the Navo project, I decided that GH Pages will be the source …

I could not say this more than what the title says. I had a very severe blow to my already damaged left knee. First a bit of history here and here. It was on the 28th of September where I went for my first ever defensive sport training called "VingTsun". Inspired by my Physio friend who is a beginner, I …

Recently, I can say that I made very good progress playing across the neck of my guitar. I memorized few pentatonic shapes, but I was stuck the whole while on those specific boxes. The whole thing did not make any sense to me. Just wandering within those boxes is not pleasant music. Frustrated, I looked at Youtube for …

I remember my interest to play the guitar started in the year 2012 and without any hesitation, I went and purchased my first ever electric guitar, the Ibanez GSA 60 and a small Marshall amplifier. I'm not sure at that point in time if it was the right decision to start with an electric guitar but as I recollect, I …

This morning it was just a normal day as always. We always have some balloons in our hall as my younger daughter likes to play it like a volleyball with me. I also enjoy entertaining her for some time. So there were a few balloons in the hall, which I casually like to kick. As I kicked one with my right leg, my left …

So as of today, I managed to clock on record a total of 1000 Km with my Trek Remedy 8. It is obviously much higher than that as for several rides I haven't turned my Sigma odometer device. But for the record, the mileage is 1000 Km for this year so far. I have explored much of the singles trails around my area! It was …

Last Thursday, I took a day off. As the weather was good I decided to take my kids and my mom to Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. We wanted to visit the theme park and spend the day there. My mom is here with us in Germany to visit us and to take care of the kids during their summer vacation. Apeldoorn is a 2-hour drive …
