I searched all my bags but i couldn't find it...trying to check into the hotel, they wanted to have my creditcard, which - of course - was in my wallet. in the end I was lucky that I already paid for the first night, so they let me into my room for one night....&lt;br /&gt;I was pretty sure that I lost it at the conference, since I still had it shortly before I left there. Today I went there early and I was lucky!! somebody found it and brought it back :)) that saved my day!! but it gets even better ... i won a playstation 3 ;) one of the companies there had a draw for a playstation every day... so i filled out that form and then i was the lucky winner in the end. thats pretty cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...right now I'm watching spiderman 3 on my new toy ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398427715424501664-8525373500176195395?l=ashcor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/8525373500176195395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/8525373500176195395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ashcor.blogspot.com/2007/11/lost-n-found.html' title='lost n found'/><author><name>Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15175181630780350146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9bFLamB7_Q/R1evoVKYNpI/AAAAAAAAFeo/QUY0mahAehg/S220/Severin+001.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398427715424501664.post-4141471117146207683</id><published>2007-10-16T00:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T20:58:44.350-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanford'/><title type='text'>On the road</title><content type='html'>I was travelling a lot in the past few weeks. we had visitors from switzerland. first, jonas (not my brother, but noe's brother) was here. and then - one week later - my brother marius and justina arrived. now - a few thousand miles later - I have so many pictures ;) check them out &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/severin.obertuefer"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398427715424501664-4141471117146207683?l=ashcor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/4141471117146207683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/4141471117146207683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ashcor.blogspot.com/2007/10/on-road.html' title='On the road'/><author><name>Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15175181630780350146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9bFLamB7_Q/R1evoVKYNpI/AAAAAAAAFeo/QUY0mahAehg/S220/Severin+001.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398427715424501664.post-3738777657568941959</id><published>2007-09-06T18:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T20:58:44.351-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanford'/><title type='text'>lots of stuff</title><content type='html'>hey,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's more than two weeks since my last blog entry. I'm having fun here!&lt;br /&gt;Two weeks ago it was my birthday. I invited a few people from the lab and from google for bbq. After having dinner we started playing games in the pool till we got stopped by our neighbor ! apparently we were too loud and the next day was a school day. so some of us went to the 'dutch goose', a pub in walking distance. that's where we played pool for the rest of the evening....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last weekend I was invited to go to ventura with amanda &amp; noe. her parents and her brother life down there. it's a little further down than santa barbara. because it was labour day on monday it was the perfect weekend for the trip. we drove there on saturday morning and came back on monday evening.&lt;br /&gt;they have two &lt;a href="http://www.sea-doo.com/en-US/Products/Watercraft/Sport/WAKE/Photos.htm"&gt;waverunners&lt;/a&gt;. we went to the ocean with them on saturday and sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was simply amazing ;) they are reeeeaaallly fast! the most fun part is to make jumps right next to the beach, where the waves start breaking.&lt;br /&gt;on sunday morning we went to the beach. I tried surfing again, but I wasn't that successful. After trying twice I had no more power to get on the board. Surfing is so exhausting... and I didn't eat in the morning, which was not very helpful for that ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now, the next weekend is already here. tomorrow we have the triathlon party in our house. since erin, thad &amp;amp; filip are all in the triathlon team they invited the whole team for barbecue. otherwise I don't have plans yet. May be we'll walk onto a 'big' hill - I forgot it's name - north of san francisco....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;severin&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398427715424501664-3738777657568941959?l=ashcor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/3738777657568941959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/3738777657568941959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ashcor.blogspot.com/2007/09/lots-of-stuff.html' title='lots of stuff'/><author><name>Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15175181630780350146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9bFLamB7_Q/R1evoVKYNpI/AAAAAAAAFeo/QUY0mahAehg/S220/Severin+001.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398427715424501664.post-1168850684569348996</id><published>2007-08-20T20:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T20:58:44.351-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanford'/><title type='text'>Russian River winery tour</title><content type='html'>Hey,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wie gehts euch allen?

Amanda picked me up first and then we went to google campus in mountain view the pick up noe. after a 5 hour drive, and a stop at 'in &amp; out' (they make the best burgers of the world!), we arrived in Goleta, right next to Santa Barbara. I stayed with Martin and Julian for the weekend and Amande and Noe went to Ventura to see her parents.&lt;br /&gt;Julian and Martin are also studying at eth in zurich. right now, there are working in a software company in Goleta. They have been here for almost a year now. on saturday and sunday martin showed me how to do surfing. It was great, although it's not that easy to actually get the waves with the right timing and then stand up.&lt;br /&gt;On saturday night we first went to Santa Barbara, which is very nice. We just went down the 'main street' to the peer and then we headed back to get something to eat. After that we were well prepared for a long party night in Isla Vista ;) Isla Vista is the town right next to the University California of Santa Barbra (UCSB). A lot of students live in the houses right on the cliffs and there it gets very crowded  on  saturday nights...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;captions=1&amp;amp;amp;amp;RGB=0xffffff&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fseverin.obertuefer%2Falbumid%2F5090629575477157841%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="267" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398427715424501664-7096464830760459564?l=ashcor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/7096464830760459564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/7096464830760459564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ashcor.blogspot.com/2007/07/down-in-isla-vista.html' title='Weekend in Isla Vista and Santa Barbara'/><author><name>Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15175181630780350146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9bFLamB7_Q/R1evoVKYNpI/AAAAAAAAFeo/QUY0mahAehg/S220/Severin+001.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398427715424501664.post-8277578735459715410</id><published>2007-07-17T20:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T20:58:44.352-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanford'/><title type='text'>Das Wetter oder it's always nice ;)</title><content type='html'>An sich sagt der Titel schon alles ... das Wetter war bis jetzt fast immer schoen hier - zumindest da wo ich meistens bin (Stanford, Palo Alto, Menlo Park).

In the first week, a student gave me his bike. Unfortunately the breaks were not working any more. It was alright for short - on campus - rides, but definitely not for the big roads with all the traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, there is a bike store on the campus. A lot of people use bikes here, because it's the most convenient way to get somewhere. Cars are not allowed everywhere and walking around all the time can take quiet some time, because the Stanford Campus is really big. You can easily walk half an hour to get from one place to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, I went to that bike shop and rented a bike. This one here: &lt;removed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, I'm really happy with it! To go the office it takes me about 15 minutes. I tried to find a route that is off from the big roads. Here's the route I currently take.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398427715424501664-1808254721617049390?l=ashcor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/1808254721617049390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3398427715424501664/posts/default/1808254721617049390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ashcor.blogspot.com/2007/07/go-to-work-by-bike.html' title='Bike to work'/><author><name>Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15175181630780350146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9bFLamB7_Q/R1evoVKYNpI/AAAAAAAAFeo/QUY0mahAehg/S220/Severin+001.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398427715424501664.post-1330716879130920700</id><published>2007-07-11T20:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T20:58:44.353-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanford'/><title type='text'>Mountain Bike Tour</title><content type='html'>Last sunday, we - that means Amanda, Noe and I - rented mountain bikes. The plan was to explore the hills near stanford campus. The first natural park we wanted to go was not open for bikes, but the ranger at the park entrance gave us some useful hints. &lt;a href="http://amandanoe.wordpress.com/2007/07/08/first-time-mountain-biking-in-california/"&gt;Finally we biked in 2 different natural parks.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scenery out there was amazing.
