About

I am a technical communicator – and I like to do things that are related to technical matters just as much as I like dancing, writing, cooking, knitting, crocheting, thinking, watching movies, reading, listening to music, doing nothing…

I hope this little site provides some information or food for thought, entertaining insights – or just plain fun.
If you like it, leave me a comment, if you don’t – constructive criticism is also welcome!
