I’ve been busy over the last several months and so little has happened at the blog and website of my firm. A simple equation may provide a good explanation: Family and kids + professional responsibilities = no blogging! The first part of the equation ought to be pretty obvious. As regards the second part this is probably evident, too: Suddenly finding yourself confronted with deadlines and tenders!

So, I’ve been investigating, reporting, producing offers and writing for traditional scientific media instead of maintaining my blog. In due time, when more information on the projects can be released, I will provide details and – in particular – credit my clients, partners and editors.

At the moment my retreats are in the forests close to where I live, in the overgrown and underground, great old millstone quarries around Brugg, by Roman Vindonissa. It is from these quarries that the pictures accompanying this post have been taken.
