Hi there, I’m Berthold.

And I now have a professional site: www.berthold-barth.de
I run that site my buddy Harry and you can also mail me through the address posted there, as well as read my thoughts on business, design and life.

If you hit this page you’re probably wondering why the content of my site is in german. The answer is simple: Because so am I. And since I’ve only currently begun a new life, I really can’t cater to both languages as much as I’d like to for now. Easy, easy I’m neither a survivor of anything in particular nor some kind of post-op sex changer, I’ve simply closed my business after a nice sweet burnout, and have decided to relocate from the busy ruhr area into the quiet black forest to start over.

Part of this process will be featured here, some of which may be less interesting for non-germans, such as my dealings with Social Insurance. Other stuff, like me training to become a media designer might well yield some noteworthy insights though, as may my side projects in gaming, podcasting and design in general. On top of that, I used to act a lot in my spare time, and I look forward to continuing that down here. Gimme a stage and I’ll act you off your feet. Once in awhile I might even bother to recount my sports activities, cooking experiences and depart with some general wisdom on life, the universe and everything. Usually when I’m sleepy or drunk.

Everything I have to say in english I say here.

For the time being, make yourself at home at some of my favorite web places. Check back often though, and have your say in my shoutbox.

A canadian comedy troupe extraordinaire. These guys are so funny it hurts sometimes, check out some of my fav sketches: toilet humor, daylight savings

Gaygamer
My number 1 site for gaming related news. Despite the name, they are a great read for any sexual orientation, just skip the naughtier stuff.

ToyTown
Germany is indeed a weird country for outsiders, and this forum is meant to take off the edge for first time visitors or prospective residents. Really friendly, multinational crowd.
