MY TWOTHOUSAND&TEN

by frischmilch

Where was I?

These positions were tracked by Google Latitude every 20 minutes. I travel the most time between Köln and Düsseldorf. The many lines between these two cities are the rail tracks, which I took the most time. I traveled through Germany on Nov 29th, resulting in a line around Germany, as seen on the left.

What happened in 2010?

In 26 nights, I was up all night, and after most of them, I finished a project (28 in total). I took a walk on 9 days, the same amount I rode the bus for joy. I made 6 important phone calls and slept over 12 hours on 6 days. 5 mornings were categorized as "perfect". I was on holiday twice and bathed on the sea 4 times. BBQs: three. 2 car crashes, but only one in which I had to call the police. I visited a barber twice but the doctor once.

Going out in 2010

8: Soccer games in public viewing and birthday parties.
6 sundays with breakfast in a cafe
10 movies in a cinema
I was on 4 weddings
Once: Carnival, flea market, drive-in-cinema, planetarium, ice hockey game.

Cities

I visited Köln most often: 53 days. I spent 7 days in my home town Karlsruhe. My Grandma lives in Langenhahn (6 days), where I spent Christmas. I was on vacation in Kunow for 7 days and in Can Pastilla, Spain for 5 days. Other cities are: Münster, Berlin, Bingen am Rhein, Bonn & Mannheim.

A city is counted when I stayed at least half a day in it.

working

All the other days I was working on my own bureau, as nordsueddesign.de.

Moving

In 2010 I traveled about 30.000 kilometers. Nearly half of the distance (15.669 km) I traveled by myself in different vehicles.

As a driver for a printing press:
7.313 km in a VW Caddy
2.432 km in a Mercedes Sprinter
511 km in a Renault Traffic
330 km in a BMW 5
237 km in a Seat Alhambra
in total 10.823 km.

During vacation:
1.295 km a Toyota Aygo from Köln to Kunow,
a Honda Scooter for 232 km (on Mallorca Island),
and a pedal boat for 3,6 km in Kunow.

On my bike:
75 km during "Rund um Köln" road race (finished as 2.873)
430 km on a 3-day-trip along the Rhine
and some other distances with a complete length of 1.091 km on bike.

Also, I took two airline flights, not counted in kilometers, from and to Palma de Mallorca.

Communication

My blog had it's 3rd birthday in December 2010. Since the end of 2007 I made a total number of 6241 posts. That means I made about 5 posts per day.

3219 E-Mails revieved and 2333 sent. That's around 10 mails in the inbox and more than 5 outgoing mails per day.

I called for a total of 20 hours on the phone. That's 500 total calls, with a success rate of 84 % (only 76 missed calls). The longest call took about 68 minutes.

I sent out 1177 text messages and recieved 1147 with a total character length of 266.368 characters (that's about the same length as the Wikipedia article about all the fish of Hawaii).

Media consumed

This colorful chart shows the most watched things on TV etc.

Most mentionable might be, that I watched the complete 10 seasons of friends within two months (239 episodes in total, some more than once).
