Hooray - we are approaching 2009!

Hope you guys had a great Christmas. Our Christmas had been pretty uneventful. We are still here in LA, enjoying my mother-in-laws awesome Korean food and chilling out for the rest of the year. So, what has happened lately?. I have tried passing an exam in my field called the RAC (Regulatory Affairs Certification) and am still pretty nervous about the results. I hope that I either failed completely or passed. Who knows. Also I am starting to co-write an article for the RAPS society that should be published sometime in February. The focus will be on German Medical Device Regulations.

I recently received an email from my uncle asking me about my blog and how I had set it up. Well, I back then stumbled basically over a Wordpress theme that I liked and that I had tuned to fit my design. Wordpress is one of the greatest free software tools out there for bloggers. It is supported by a great community that provides quite a variety of plugins and themes. I have recently looked into buying some more domains and setting up one or two more websites. Wordpress has been cool so far but I am always intrigued by new developments. My research has let me to come across a really wonderful software that is somewhat similar to Wordpress. It is called Squarespace. Founded a few years ago by some geek called Anthony Casalena it has some really nice and very thoughtful features. I have setup a testaccount and played around a little bit. The system is very user- and google friendly and above all, it comes with some nice designs that you can use as a base to create your own designs. It is definetly something I will consider when setting up those new sites. Squarespace definetly rocks!

I can’t wait for 2009 to begin. This year has been quite a roller coaster ride for us. The wedding and then the Wall street crash that had hit us quite hard. A new year is like a new beginning. Hopefully for the better. Cheers!

Holy Cow…

it’s snowing in Vegas and I am not even there! I could not believe my eyes when I saw the pictures today in the news. The Strip is covered with snow and yet there is still more to come. I hope it will get better in a few days as we don’t have any snow chains with us. Against many peoples belief, Las Vegas does get snow from time to time. It last happened in 2005 when a snow blizzard surprised the city. It would be so awesome to have snow on Christmas eve…
