I write about things that happen to me and interesting stuff that happened somewhere else or that I found on the internet. My blog has no special topic, but I often see it as a geek blog also it hasn't seen as much geek content lately ... so, it's a personal blog and nothing more ;-) Halil: Which category would you choose for your blog?

Sebbi: I wanted to document my time in the civil service (Zivildienst?) in some way. At this time it wasn't really a blog, but it was the start of it. I continued the website as a blog, because of the many comments I received. From there on it was all about comments, feedback and networking. What do I want to achieve? I don't know ... world domination perhaps? Halil: What is your motivation to continue blogging? Sebbi: Comments and other feedback. Without those blogging wouldn't be interesting at all (who wants to talk to a wall?). Halil: What experience did you made with your blog (reactions from reader) and which where your acmes? Sebbi: It is always good to help someone. If I get a comment like "wow thanks, that helped me a lot" I become all warm and fuzzy. Acmes?

Sebbi: My friends and some strangers I picked up over the years regularly read my blog, but most of the readers (one-time-readers) come from search engines. Who should read it? Who am I to tell somebody to read my blog? Everybody is invited, but nobody should read my blog, because we all know: reading blogs is a giant waste of time. Halil: Where do you get your inspiration from to write? Sebbi: Newssites, the local newspaper, tv, other blogs and things that happen while I am not sitting in front of a computer.
