Routine

By Robert ⋅ April 23, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Routine has two qualities for me: avoiding development and providing the ground for it. I often find myself deliberately stuck in routines. Feels safe and comfortable. Moving (or not moving?) on safe ground has its qualities. On the other hand I totally freak out when I perceive this status to be longer than one hour. [...]

honest work – working honestly

By Robert ⋅ April 16, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Triggered by articles on ‘diary of a website‘ (no1, no2) and comments I began to think about my point of view towards the relationship between my clients and me (actually thinking about blogging it). Not an easy topic.It sums up to 2 words: being honest. You may think now: ‘oh no, not again another missionary’. [...]

vonnegut 1922-2007

By Robert ⋅ April 12, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Sad to hear that another fine author has deceased. He was a true humanist always critical to himself and the society – expressing his thoughts in a very sarcastic and humorous way. As a lot about him will be written the next weeks I just want to append two of my favourite Vonnegut-quotes:”The only specifically [...]

working & fun

By Robert ⋅ April 12, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I find myself working the last weeks nearly without a break. Nevertheless I’m “happyminded” and find time to roam through the css and icon gardens of the Net. A good place to find very nice icons for all occasions and projects is IconBuffet. The ones you see here are from there. Just sign up for [...]

departure

By Robert ⋅ April 8, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Two days ago my uncle died. Not that it came out of the blue but a close relative dying has a different impact on me than tsunami warnings in the south pacific… Two years ago he experienced an apoplexia from which he never really recovered. Tags: requiescat in pace, thoughts, vienna

patience & playing

By Robert ⋅ March 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Patience – that’s the word of the month! New for me but indispensibly relevant. Directly followed by: ‘lighten up dude’… Apparently I take myself way too serious, anger arises and I find myself entangled by agression, depression and other ‘ssion-words. With remembering ‘patience’ I manage to stop seeking the cause for my ‘ssion-words’ on the [...]

anxiety

By Robert ⋅ March 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

This quote keeps on wandering in my thoughts:Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom, which emerges when the spirit wants to posit the synthesis and freedom looks down into possibility, laying hold of finiteness to support itself. Freedom succumbs in this dizziness. Further than this, psychology cannot and will not go. In that very moment everything [...]

alone at home…

By Robert ⋅ March 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

My wife being occupied during the weekend I experienced the gift of letting go. Letting go all those “I have to finish up everything during the weekend” feelings. Relaxed I took David, the youngest of ‘the horde’ and visited the local viennese zoo (the picture shows jellyfish in black light). We both enjoyed it and [...]
