			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Auf Empfehlung von <a href="http://www.theofel.de/plog-archives/2011/04/nuesse-vom-krebaer-nusswerk.html">Jan</a> habe ich einige Nussmischungen des <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/">Krebaer Nusswerks</a> zum Testen bekommen, dann habe ich das Ganze ein wenig vergessen und nun möchte ich endlich mein Versprechen einlösen, über die Nüsse zu bloggen.</p>
<p>Nachdem Jan mich angesprochen hatte, ging alles ganz schnell und ich konnte mein kleines Paket von der Nachbarin in Empfang nehmen. Das Verpackungsdesign gefällt mir sehr gut: Modern, klar und übersichtlich. Die Tüten sind wiederverschließbar, so dass ich mal davon ausgehe, dass die Nüsse im Zweifel lange frisch bleiben. Diesen Härtetest haben wir aber ausgelassen ;-)</p>
<p>Nun zum Inhalt.</p>
<p>Von den fruchtigen Sorten habe ich <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/produkt_3.html">Mandel Cashew Cranberry Vanille</a> und <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/produkt_4.html">Mandel Blaubeere Honig</a> getestet. Beide Sorten waren für meinen Geschmack etwas zu süß und zugleich habe ich eine leichte Salznote herausgeschmeckt. Die Blaubeersorte roch für mich etwas unangenehm, der Geschmack war aber ok. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass man diese Sorten als Topping auf ein Müsli oder als kernige Grundlage für ein Trifle verwenden kann.</p>
<p>Weiterhin habe ich die <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/produkt_7.html">Cheddar Cashews</a> sowie die <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/produkt_8.html">Balsamico Cashews </a>getestet. Diese Sorten konnten mich wirklich überzeugen. Cheddar schmeckte erwartungsgemäß kräftig nach Käse, während Balsamico angenehm süß-säuerlich schmeckt. Eine sehr feine Knabberei für einen Fernsehabend, wenn man keine Chips mag!</p>
<p>Meine Lieblingssorte war unerwarteterweise die für mich erst etwas langweilig klingende <a href="http://www.krebaer-nusswerk.de/produkt_2.html">Pecan Cashew Mandel</a>. Die ist einfach richtig nussig, etwas süß, aber nicht zu sehr.</p>
<p>Insgesamt auch eine schöne Idee, Nüsse in kleine Würfel zu packen. Der Geschmack hat mich nicht bei allen Sorten voll überzeugt, mag aber auch daran liegen, dass ich generell nicht so für Süßes bin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Am vergangenen Wochenende war ich Teil von etwas Großem, ich habe das BarCamp Munich besucht. :) Es war mein erstes BarCamp und dementsprechend gespannt war ich, was mich dort wohl erwartet.</p>
<p><span id="more-1564"></span>Die anfängliche Nervosität (OK, ich will nicht übertreiben) verflog bereits am Freitag Abend recht schnell, als ich bei der Warm-up-Party mitbekam, dass verdammt viele n00bs dabei waren. Nachdem das klar war, ging&#8217;s entspannt in &#8220;The Social Network&#8221;. Die Karten gab&#8217;s für lau, aber der Film war so gut dass ich ihn mir sogar für Geld angeschaut hätte. Ziemlich pathetischer Kram, aber irgendwie lustig. Mein O-Ton-Fetischismus wurde zwar leider nicht befriedigt, aber die Übersetzung brachte noch ein paar Lacher in den Film. :) Hinterher ging es noch in einen Club, die ersten Kontakte wurden vertieft.</p>
<p>Der nächste Morgen begann mit einem gesponserten Frühstück, wobei der Gaul gute Zähne hatte. Überhaupt haben sich die Sponsoren elegant zurück gehalten, gerade deswegen erinnere ich mich an sie. :)</p>
<p>Los ging es mit einer Session über den <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mogdy">Munich Government Day</a>. Markus Dapp von der Stadt München stellte uns ein völlig überraschendes Konzept zur Beteiligung der Netizens an der Kommunalpolitik vor. Es ging im Grunde um nichts Geringeres als data.gov für die Stadt München, natürlich in entsprechender Dimensionen. Das Projekt startet am <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">1.11.2010</span> 1.12.2010 mit einer Webseite, ich werde dann darüber bloggen.</p>
<p>Bei &#8220;Future Mobile &#8211; Das Internet schafft sich ab&#8221; ging es um die Frage, ob große Communities wie Facebook für Otto-Normal-Verbraucherin nicht das Internet bzw. Web obsolet machen und welche Implikationen dies z.B. für Themen wie Netzneutralität hat. Dabei lag der Fokus auf dem gerüchteweise erscheinenden Facebook-Phone. Allerdings driftete die Diskussion schnell Richtung Datenschutz ab und am Ende haben wir festgestellt, dass Facebook in beide Richtungen (B2C) einigermaßen transparent ist, Firmen wie <a href="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Bericht-Easycash-verkauft-Bewegungsprofile-von-EC-Kartenkunden-1107760.html">EasyCash</a> oder der <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informationsfreiheitsgesetz#Ausnahmen">Staat</a> aber auf einseitige Informationsvorhaltung setzen. Sehr gefreut hat mich, dass ich mit Informationen zum <a href="http://www.optoutday.de/">kommunalen Adresshandel</a> einige Leute wachrütteln konnte.</p>
<p>Nach dem Mittag setzte ich mich in den Getting-Things-Done-Vortrag von <a href="http://twitter.com/oliverg">Oliver Gassner</a>. Oliver begann mit den Basics, konzentrierte sich dabei aber auf den praktischen Teil. Das Buch von David Allen ist ja zeitweise etwas &#8220;spirituell&#8221; geschrieben, es ist dort deutlich mehr von Visionen und Sinn die Rede als im Vortrag. Leider war die Zeit so knapp, dass Diskussionen und Fragen zu diesem interessanten Thema gar nicht mehr möglich waren. Insbesondere einigen Alt-GTDlern einschließlich mir hätte ein Erfahrungsaustausch (sicher) gefallen.</p>
<p>Weiter ging es mit <a href="http://www.twitter.com/schmutte">Manuel Schmuttes</a> Session über die Probleme von Fotos und den Creative Commons Lizenzen. Manuel erklärte erst die verschiedenen Typen von CC-Lizenzen und ging dann auf Probleme ein, die sich damit ergeben haben. An einigen Stellen handelte es sich zwar eher um Probleme mit Bildern an sich, aber es war sehr interessant mal die Meinung eines Fotografen zu Bildern im Netz zu hören. Die zwei größten Probleme im Zusammenhang mit CC-Lizenzen sind meiner Meinung nach das Verwechseln vieler Leute von CC mit PD, also dem Ignorieren der Pflichten, die sich aus CC ergeben. Ein anderer wichtiger Punkt ist wohl das &#8220;Relizenzieren&#8221; urheberrechtlich geschützten Materials unter der CC. Werden solche Bilder dann verwendet, so macht sich der Nutzer strafbar. Das Gesetz wird also analog zu Hehlerware angewendet. Witzig war, wie bei eigentlich immer bei juristischen Themen und Laien, die verzweifelte Suche einiger Anwesender nach Grauzonen.</p>
<p>Nach so viel Input brauchte ich erstmal eine Pause und machte mit <a href="http://twitter.com/heyfrau">Heyfrau</a> eine Teeparty. Dabei kam uns die Idee, dass wir doch spontan eine Achtsamkeitssitzung machen könnten, gesagt, getan, der nächste Slot gehörte Kabat-Zinn. :)</p>
<p>Der Rest des Tages war dann Party in der <a href="http://twitter.com/niederlassung">Niederlassung</a>, auch dies für mich eine Premiere, aber der Laden gefällt mir. Nur die Büchertapete hat mich etwas traurig gemacht, das hatte was von Sushi im geschlossenen Laden.</p>
<p>Der Sonntag begann dann eigentlich viel zu früh, aber es war auch Binary Day und als Nerd musste ich natürlich mein Handtuch spazieren führen. Ich war total erstaunt, wie viele Leute mit Handtüchern aufgetaucht waren, ein Teilnehmer trug sogar einen dentschen Bademantel. So wünsche ich mir das. Heyfrau und ich hatte uns mehr oder weniger gut auf eine Session zum Thema Gewaltfreie Kommunikation vorbereitet, dazu später mehr.</p>
<p>Die erste Session des Tages war &#8220;5 x Startup aus der Finanzwelt&#8221;. Einer der Gründer des crowdgesourcten Investmentfonds <a href="http://twitter.com/investtor">INVESTTOR</a> erläuterte kurz was Banking 2.0, sustainable banking, ist und warum es die Zukunft ist. :) Anschließend slidete er durch 5 Startups, die irgendwas mit Geldanlage zu tun hatten. Ich fand es sehr interessant Sachen wie <a href="http://www.hsx.com/">Hollywood Stock Exchange</a> kennen zu lernen. Am Ende stellte er noch seine eigene Firma vor. Das Konzept von INVESTTOR ist, dass die Anleger demokratisch bestimmen, welche Papiere der Fonds zeichnet. Besonders interessant fand ich, dass jeder Anleger unabhängig vom Anteil nur 1 Stimme hat (O-Ton: Warum soll jemand mit mehr Geld mehr wissen). Auf jeden Fall beobachtenswert.</p>
<p>Im Anschluss plauderte <a href="http://www.twitter.com/marmarlade">Marie </a>etwas über Couponing. Neben den Konzepten dahinter nahm die Fragen nach Datenschutz einen großen Raum ein. Quintessenz: Wer Couponing gewinnbringend als Kunde verwendet, &#8220;schadet&#8221; dem Unternehmen, wer es nur nebenbei macht &#8220;schadet&#8221; eher sich selbst. Für die Unternehmen kann es ein Instrument zur Kundenbindung oder sogar zum Überleben sein.</p>
<p>Dann kam der große Moment. Heyfrau und ich erzählten den TeilnehmerInnen was wir beide über Gewaltfreie Kommunikation. Im Grunde geht es dabei darum die eigenen Bedürftnisse zu erkennen, für die dadurch entstandenen Gefühle Verantwortung zu übernehmen und klar und nicht wertend diese Bedürftnisse in Form von Bitten weiterzugeben. Ich werde bei Gelegenheit mal einen eigenen Post über das Thema machen, weil es den Rahmen sprengt. Ich verweise bis dahin auf den guten <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewaltfreie_Kommunikation">Wikipedia-Artikel zu Gewaltfreier Kommunikation</a>.</p>
<p>Zum Ausklang gab es dann noch eine kurze Achtsamkeitssession, die wieder sehr gut ankam. Das Thema scheint den Leuten wirklich zu gefallen.</p>
<p>Tja, dann war das BarCamp leider auch schon wieder aus. Es hat mir total viel Spaß gemacht und ich konnte mal wieder richtig networken. Auch wenn ich meine Piraten sehr gern mag, war es doch mal wieder toll außerhalb der Bewegung neue Kontakte zu finden. Beim nächsten BarCamp bin ich auf jeden Fall wieder dabei, für dieses hier danke ich den TeilnehmerInnen, OrganisatorInnen und Sponsoren.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is a really bad place. No, seriously! Alas, there is a solution to our most pressing social problems: Let&#8217;s all become Victorians. This is, crudely oversimplified of course, the advice <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Himmelfarb">Gertude Himmelfarb</a> offers in her book <em>The De-Moralization of Society &#8211; From Victorian Virtues to Modern Values.</em> As the title suggests, it aspires to be much more than just another account of Victorian England. Himmelfarb, who, besides being an eminent historian, is the wife of prominent neoconservative Irving Kristol, tackles current social issues as well which, according to her view, haven&#8217;t really changed that much since the late 19th century.</p>
<p>When Himmelfarb looks at the current state of the Western world, she sees decay everywhere. She lists crime rates along with data on poverty, illiteracy and illegitimacy as evidence of her cultural criticism which isn&#8217;t entirely void of the Spenglerian undertones commonly found in conservative writing. It is neither very original nor in any way disputable to point out that the rapid and ongoing liberalization since at least the mid-20th century has had some negative side effects. The strenght of this book therefore clearly does not lie in its diagnosis of current social challenges &#8211; Himmelfarb&#8217;s findings on these matters could be summarized with this post&#8217;s first sentence. It actually doesn&#8217;t get much subtler than that.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the book provides a vivid account of the ambivalent society Victorian England actually was as opposed to the stereotypical view of this particular era. Victorians, according to common conception, were stiff moralists to the point of self-righteousness bound by many social restrictions and living in an era marked by crass inequalities between classes and sexes. Himmelfarb challenges such notions by poiting out that, while Victorian society certainly would not satisfy our current high standards concerning liberty and equality, it was never as monolithic as prejudice suggests. Social reform efforts directed at the betterment of the lower classes abounded, culture, science as well as philosophy flourished and women&#8217;s rights became one of the most prominent social issues among the educated. Furthermore, many of the eminent cultural figures of Victorian England did not fit the bill of Victorian virtues at all. Himmelfarb&#8217;s biographical notes on people like H. G. Wells, George Eliot, Oscar Wilde or Beatrice Potter, none of whose private lives could live up to the strict Victorian ideal, serve as vivid illustration of the diversity of this era and are woven organically into the overarching social, cultural and economic history.</p>
<p>Still, it&#8217;s the average Victorian with his ideals of self-reliance, hard work and responsibility in all matters public and private Himmelfarb points to as a model for modernity. Approvingly she discusses the idealization of the &#8220;bourgeois&#8221; family as a key tenet of Victorianism, which she sees a the main factor for successful reduction of out of wedlock childbirth. The emphasis Himmelfarb puts on illegitimacy, which she refers to as a social pathology, might strike more liberal readers as a bit off, especially since she almost casually associates single parenthood with alcohol and drug abuse.</p>
<p>Himmelfarb, herself being an influential figure within the neoconservative movement, makes no effort to hide her political affiliation which is more than obvious in all her value judgement: In favor of democracy and liberty, firmly believing in the universal applicability of values, the latter being an aspect of Victorianism Himmelfarb seems to cherish above all else, and not calling for moral fanaticism while strongly suggesting that higher moral standards are what society desperately needs. Since she keeps her political views largely to herself until the epilogue it is entirely possible to ignore her political agenda and just read the book as a knowledgeable, well-written introduction into Victorianism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wir erinnern uns: Die Gerüchteküche um den Release-Termin von Snow Leopard brodelte. Da kam Gravis und verkündete, es sei ab sofort vorbestellbar. Horden von Nerds, mich eingeschlossen waren nur allzu bereit das zu glauben und bestellten.</p>
<p>Dann kam der 28.08.09. Snow Leopard erschien im Handel, es war im Store von Apple und Gravis Store verfügbar, leider änderte sich im Online-Tracking nichts. Vorbestellt. Ok dachte ich, wird wohl nicht aktuell sein, haben es sicherlich verschickt.</p>
<p>Am 29.08.09 schaute ich wieder ins Tracking. Vorbestellt. Also denke ich, ich kann mal anrufen und nachfragen. Dummerweise ist die Hotline bei Gravis am Samstag nicht besetzt, im Gegensatz zu den Ladengeschäften wohlgemerkt. Also schicke ich eine eMail über das Kontaktformular, dass doch bitte die Bestellung zu stornieren sei, da ich es ja im Laden kaufen könnte. Leider hatte ich aber von diesem Storno absolut keinen Nachweis, da es weder eine ordentliche Bestätigungsseite geschweige denn eine Bestätigungsmail gab.</p>
<p>Den Sonntag überspringe ich jetzt mal, im Tracking hat sich auch nichts geändert.</p>
<p>Am Montag rief ich gleich am Morgen bei der Hotline an. Diese war chronisch überlastet und nach 45 Minuten in der Warteschleife ging ich aus dem Haus. Das im Tracking nach wie vor &#8220;Vorbestellt&#8221; stand, muss ich wohl nicht erwähnen. Mir war es inzwischen egal, dass ich eventuell zur Erfüllung eines Kaufvertrags gezwungen bin, für den auch noch 5 EUR Porto fällig würden. Ich ging in den Apple Store, kaufte Snow Leopard und freute mich.</p>
<p>Während dann zuhause die DVD im Laufwerk rotierte, versuchte ich noch einmal mein Glück bei der Gravis-Hotline. Natürlich hatte sich im Tracking nichts geändert, aber das war ich schon gewöhnt. Als ich endlich einen Mitarbeiter an der Strippe hatte, sagte der mir, dass meine Bestellung storniert wäre. Toll. Eine eMail wäre da echt toll gewesen.</p>
<p>Bis heute habe ich übrigens nichts mehr von Gravis gehört, mein Storno wurde nicht bestätigt.</p>
<p>@Gravis: Das geht so echt nicht. Ihr könnt doch nicht den ungeduldigen Early Adopters einen Brocken hinwerfen und ein Produkt vorbestellen lassen, dass dann Tage nach dem offiziellen Marktstart immer noch nicht verschickt ist. Außerdem ist der Kundenbereich auf der Webseite alles andere als transparent und als Kunde hab ich permanent Angst mir irgendwas juristisches einzufangen. Ich jedenfalls überlege mir in Zukunft sehr genau, ob ich noch zu Gravis gehe. Der Apple Store ist ja auch nur ein paar Straßen weiter und meine Erfahrung, online wie offline, ist ungetrübt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It´s been over a year now that I applied <a title="Wikipedia on Getting Things Done" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done" target="_blank">Getting Things Done</a> (GTD) to my life. That step was largely inspired by all this very positive blog coverage within the Macintosh user communitity. All I did to start it, was getting the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280" target="_blank">book</a> and follow it.</p>
<p><span id="more-800"></span></p>
<h2>What is Getting Things Done about?</h2>
<p>GTD is a personal time management system, which aims to give you a mind like water (aka floating mind), which means to react on everything only with as much energy as it deserves. It does this by telling you about the tools you need to move everything (currently) unnessesary out of your mind into a place you absolutely trust. Trust must be absolut here, because if you are unsafe about the creditibilty of that place, things will start to wander back into your mind and disrupt you from getting things done.</p>
<p>OK. I admin it sounds a bit scary or esoteric at first, but what it means in practice is that you get a toolchain and workflows to keep you from getting confused about what to do next and prevents your desk/inbox from overflowing. It does by helping you to break down all those overwhelming projects and tasks into little, achievable pieces of work, the next actions.</p>
<p>One important thing about GTD is, that you are encouraged to implement it in either your professional and personal life, so it shouldn´t matter if you have to clean up the cellar or code software for your boss. Especially the latter might become subject to conflicts in many other time management systems, if they are too strict to let your boss to decide about your work time. BTW &#8211; GTD does not give you more time a day than the 24h you´ve got. It also might not make you to achieve more than you already do. But it will make you more relaxed while you do it.</p>
<p>The toolchain aspect talks to the geek in me. I love to optimize things using computers and software and there is a whole bunch of GTD supporting software available for the Mac. I´ve got <a title="OmniFocus product page" href="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnifocus/" target="_blank">OmniFocus</a> for this purpose, which is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it when it comes to features and convenience. Beneath to the management related features it has a very good <a title="My life´s synchronization backend explained" href="http://ninan.info/2009/03/two-macs-an-iphone-sharing-one-life/" target="_self">synchronization</a> support i totally rely on. And, best of it, it also works on the iPhone. OmniFocus has become my place to trust in.</p>
<h2>GTD at my professional work</h2>
<p>My professional work management was changed fundamentelly. I used to write TODO lists before. I did this by copying the remaining tasks from previous day to a fresh piece of paper every morning, repriorize them and see all these planning gone by the first contact with my boss. Today I just put every task (or project which simply is a group of tasks that lead to a greater outcome) in OmniFocus as it occurs. Tasks that got a deadline are done within that deadline (almost), everything else if there is time. I also learned to delegate work, something I barely did before, if I am not the most perfect available person for the job.</p>
<p>Further I stopped to multitask. In my opinion multitasking is doing multiple things at once in a bad fashion. Multitasking from my brain´s view is nothing more than extreme expensive context switching all the time. When I work on a next action, I do that exclusively.</p>
<p>My colleagues don´t know that I am doing GTD or what it is. That shows GTD is not that invasive.</p>
<h2>GTD at my home work</h2>
<p>At home GTD got me to keep everything proper. All those papers flying around are long gone into a set of folder now holding all my legal stuff or to recycle bin.</p>
<p>But as it comes to next actions, I don´t do that much at home. My time at home is very short and filled up with fix blocks of work (mostly my distance learning stuff). So I gather new next actions all the time but never do them until it is absolutely necessary.</p>
<p>Anyways, nothing gets lost and something even gets done when I have a bit time. So its not that bad at all.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>GTD cleaned up my head a lot. I no longer wander around asking myself what to do next. And in the end I do everything at least.</p>
<p>Every morning at work I can prepare for the stand up meeting in less than 5 minutes. I just need no time to synchronize TODO lists with the reality.</p>
<p>I almost stopped to procrastinate (Only very unpleasant things are pushed) and became more honest about doing things.</p>
<p>All in all I became more productive, more relaxed and happier than before. I would say, starting GTD was one of the best decisions I made in the last year.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The <em>Alte Nordfriedhof</em> in the Schwabing neighborhood is a tiny, disused cemetery which opened in 1868. The last burial took place in 1939. After it was destroyed in WWII what was left has been carefully restored since and is now a public park. People go there to take a walk, do sports or sit on the benches and enjoy the calm atmosphere in the midst of this busy urban neighborhood. Here are a few pictures I took last week to give you an impression of this beautiful place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will be going to Washington in a few weeks for a class on the interaction of history, politics, geography and architecture and, needless to say, I&#8217;m already awfully stoked. It has not been finally decided which places we will visit, but we will probably see the Capitol, the National Building Museum, the National Archives, the Wilson Center, Brookings Institution and several memorials. If everything works out as planned, we will meet with people who either work at the respective place or have done research about it, so it&#8217;s totally different than your average dull in-classroom seminar. I still have to decide on which specific subject I want to focus my research, but since I&#8217;m more interested in politics than in architecture I will probably write a paper about the changes in Washington&#8217;s status and political culture during FDR&#8217;s presidency.</p>
<p>Since I haven&#8217;t traveled in a long time &#8211; my last trip was to Tuszla, Bosnia in 2004 &#8211; I&#8217;m already quite nervous. The unsettling remarks of our lecturers about the capital&#8217;s strict dresscode (&#8220;Just bring the best clothes you&#8217;ve got.&#8221;) didn&#8217;t help either. I hope that I will have the chance to write a few posts during my stay, but I will in any case report about everything after my return.</p>
