This is why I do it!

Yesterday got an amazing email from Bart Burg whom I met at Startup Weekend Berlin. I facilitated the event last weekend and had a blast! Here is an extract from the email:

“First of all, thank you for the most amazing weekend in my life, not exaggerating. You guys didn’t only created opportunity, but you gave my life a course. I was always doubting between developer or manager. I now know entrepreneur is what I want to be!”

In the email Bart had attached the picture above.

I can’t tell you how good this makes me feel. Think about it – to be able to help an awesome fellow like Bart into the world of entrepreneurship… Does it get any better? I’m so proud to be part of Startup Weekend!

This also goes out to the entire SW Berlin team! You guys rock!!!!!!!!!

Magic Bus San Francisco – It’s a Trip!

A few days ago I saw this amazing tour bus in San Francisco. Maybe one should try “the trip” some day?

Anchor Summer Beer

The other day I got to try the new Anchor Summer Beer. I’ll give it five glasses… It is not as good as the Anchor Steam – but on warm summer day it’s fantastic!

Brickmeme.com – Awesome LEGO memes

Last weekend i sat down with a good friend of mine to create a website – not just any website, but a website that could combine two of the things that excites me the most. LEGO and memes. We came up with www.brickmeme.com - A website that allows you to creat your own LEGO memes with some template pictures we have found. Here are some examples:

The site has been live for about 3 days – and we already see people starting to use it to create ROFLMAOTIP memes like the following:

Stormtrooper Hipster

Douchebag  girl

Darth Vader on a date

Go nuts and make your own on brickmeme.com
