Durchsage an alle

Heute sind endlich die letzte beiden HomePod minis für Kind #2 und Kind #3 gekommen, jetzt kann ich endlich nach Ihnen rufen, ohne zu schreien. 

Ich finde es ja auch ganz bezaubernd, wie Apple „Intercom“ mit „Durchsage“ übersetzt hat.

Mit Intercom kann man Nachrichten zwischen zwei HomePods oder HomePod minis oder mit iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch und CarPlay senden und empfangen.

Um Intercom zu verwenden, aktualisiere deine HomePod- oder HomePod mini-Lautsprecher auf die neueste Software. Überprüfe dann, ob jedes Gerät, mit dem du Intercom-Nachrichten senden und empfangen möchtest – also dein iPhone, iPad, iPod touch oder deine Apple Watch – auf dem neuesten Stand ist. Nach dem Update wird Intercom automatisch eingeschaltet. 

Ein großer Spaß.

Working from Home (18)

It has never felt as dark as it does this year. This is not only a sensed, „alternative“ fact. Looking out from 24th floor of one shabby skyscraper at other shining skyscrapers is nowhere near as dark as to when looking out on ground level at your desk at home. What I have mainly done this winter.

Virtual Christmas Party

Yesterday we also had the virtual Christmas party of the Innovation & Best Delivery Hub in Frankfurt. We baked Bethmännchen together, drank Christmas beer, Riesling and Glühwein, ate raw-milk cheese, baguette and roasted almonds, played and listened to handmade music. It was so wonderful, it exceeded my high expectations by far. Thanks to all.

Goodbye FBC

Yesterday was the last day at the FBC.

The move out marks the end of an era in Frankfurt. This is where Pünder, Volhard & Weber ultimately became Clifford Chance in Germany. We moved in over 36 years ago, on 1 April 1983; at that time only on the 30th floor. After the merger in 2000, we occupied almost half of the building. I was at FBC for the first time in 1996. The very first time, I had the pleasure of meeting Rüdiger Volhard. I have had offices on the 23rd, 24th, 26th, 30th, 31st, 32nd and 34th floors over the years.
