Industrial- and Transportation Designer, innovation professional, lecturer, researcher; lived here and there and done this and that. Harmless, unless there is food involved. I appear to have what I call chronic innovation disorder; show me what you will, I will have a better idea.
My one big passion in life is to uphold the flag of high civilisation. Smaller passions include cats of all sizes, American vintage cars, obtuse movies, photography, and musing randomly on social media.
My absolute favourite is by Wilhelm Busch: “Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert.” Very freely translated as, “the upside of a ruined reputation is that life gets a lot more relaxed.”
Other favourites: “Komisch ist alles, was scheitert.” (Loriot). Perhaps best translated as “Failure is comical.”
“Wer nichts zu sagen hat, macht viele Worte.” (Heinz Erhardt). You could translate it as, “those who have nothing to say will use lots of words.”
