Lots has happened since the last time I posted — I got married, for example. Once the professional photographer gets back to us with the pictures, I might even share some 
Today, however, I am able to introduce someone else to you, dear readers: Meet Lizzy!
Lizzy is a mixed breed, part (Miniature) Schnauzer, part unknown. The young lady is about 1 year and 3 months old, and Tara and I got her from an animal protection association, where she was dropped off by a family that suddenly decided they didn’t want a dog anymore… She is very well behaved, hardly ever barks, and after a few moments of shyness, loves just about anyone she meets.
Tara and I are very happy to have adopted her and are gladly sharing our apartment now 
Just recently, my fiancée Tara joined the blogging community with her first own blog called “Domaine de Tara”.
She started off with a nice little article on the hunt for American-style brown sugar in Germany. It also includes a yummy recipe for baking Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies which — in spite of the sugar-related difficulties — turned out more than delicious.
Her future posts are likely going to be about food (both her passion and profession) and German strangeness she’s just bound to stumble across every once in awhile…
Feel free to visit her blog, say hello, and maybe even subscribe to the RSS feed. Have fun!
The photo is from a trip we took to Provence, where a winery coincidentally carries my fiancée’s name.
Today, Mozilla Corporation moved into new headquarters, across town, in Mountain View, California. The new place, which I have only seen as a building site so far, is bound to be awesome, judging by the photos that are slowly showing up on the web.
These and more photos are available on Deb Richardson’s flickr feed (thanks, Deb!):
I can’t wait to go visit!
Update: There are more photos of the new Mozilla office on osunick’s flickr page.

Intriguingly, so far, under the emails two of these hotels sent me, I found a sentence like the following, asking you not to print out the email:
Afin de contribuer au respect de l’environnement, merci de n’imprimer ce courriel que si nécessaire – please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
I wonder if this is a “Corse thing”, or if it’s just a coincidence. Pretty cool, nonetheless.
