My most favorite sport to do is karate. I'm training in a dojo in Giessen, usually twice a week.
Since 2009 I'm wearing the second brown belt. -
I try to go swimming once a week, but this is sometimes canceled because of missing off-time.

In March 2009 I took an exam for a ham radio license. My callsign is DK2MO.

I like to develop my own electronic boards with AVRs and to program them.

As private computers I like Mac's. They cost more but at least they do what they are supposed to do...
In addtion to that I like Linux. It does a great job, too, but it needs more time to be maintained.
Well, you allready can guess, I'm not a big fan of Microsoft Windows! -
Currently I’m involved as one of the leaders in a ham radio youth group.
