And then there was light!

After completing the Berlin-Copenhagen bike-tour I figured it would be time to up my bike with a new light. I used to just have one of those that you could stick onto your bike and then it would run on batteries, but now I'm running the 60 Lux B&M Lumotec IQ Cyo on a shimano dynamo hub.

A standard halogen bikelight emits about 10 Lux while this one right here pumps out 60. This is really going to brighten my trips!

It retails for around 50€s here in Germany and can be had at basically any well assorted bike-store.

GALAXY SII - the switch from iOs to Android

While most of the american market is still waiting for Samsungs current flagship to arrive I snatched mine about a month ago over here in Germany on a T-Mobile contract.

So far I have been very satisfied with the phone and it proves to be an immense upgrade over my old iPhone 3Gs. After all the crap I had to put up with regarding Apple Itunes and their extremely closed iOS I am really happy to have made the switch to the world of Android.

So far I have opted to stay with standard Samsung TouchWiz 4.0 interface as you can see and have only made a few little tweeks.

Hardwarewise the S2 leaves nothing to be desired so far.

The only advantage Apple still has over Android is a high resale value. This is the amount of money I received for a over 2 year old scratched Iphone 3Gs

Hope you enjoyed my first entry into the world of blogging, theres much more to come!
