Last week was one to remember for German fans and hopefully something that will be repeated again :) Here it's why:
- Thursday, May 23: Wolfsburg won the UEFA Women's Champions League beating Lyon 1-0 courtesy of a goal from Muller (yes, again it's another Muller). It was the 7th Champions League win by a German team in 12 seasons (Frankfurt 3, Potsdam 2, Duisburg 1, Wolfsburg 1) since it started.
- Saturday, May 25: The first all German Champions League final took place in London. Bayern won 2-1 against Dortmund and returned the cup in Germany after 12 years. It was the 7th cup for Germany (Bayern 5, Hamburg 1, Dortmund 1) in 15 finals contested by German teams. Bayern moved to 3rd place in the all time ranking after Real (9 cups) and Milan (7 cups).
- Sunday, May 26: Nico Rosberg won the Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 1 in a Mercedes-Benz car. It was the first win of the season for Rosberg and the first for Mercedes in Monaco since they returned to Formula 1 in 2010. Additionally Rosberg took Pole Position on Saturday, Vettel set the fastest lap of the race and Rosberg/Vettel completed the first 1-2 German podium since 2004 Japan Grand Prix (Michael and Ralf Schumacher).
So congrats and long may it continue :)
Hello again. I've tried and failed several times to regularly post on my blog. One of the reason is that it's difficult to find "free" time but after some reflection the main reason is that I hadn't decided on what to write and where to focus. As a software developer, this is a field that I'm interested, but aside from that there are several other fields that I'm interested and would like to share my thoughts. So mainly here you'll find:
- Software development posts, mostly related to software methodologies, but technical stuff also.
- Sport, mainly Formula 1 and football. I'm a "hardcore" fun of Nationalmannschaft and German clubs and also "hardcore" fun of Formula 1 currently rooting for Vettel :)
- Physics are also one of my interests and I try closely follow the latest development on fields such as Quantum Physics, String Theory, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, etc
- Social, political and philosophical topics are also on the agenda
- and last but not least occasionally I may post something about my family.
The target is to publish at least once per week and hopefully this time it will work out.
Happy reading :)
Albert
