As the buzzword „cloud“ nowadays is in everybody’s mouth, and google shutting down its Reeder (take that „cloud services closed, sold, shut down whysoever, unexpectedly“) I was thinking of all my digital stuff, and how to backup it.
Currently I have a nice server setup in my cellar, and all MacBooks and computers send time machine backups to them-which is ok.
Now, not everybody wants to maintain is own server setup, and having data only in your cloud seems not suitable for everybody as well.
So I thought of a kind of automatically backup service, which sends you DVD (make this USB sticks, SD cards or what ever).
– you give the service your Dropbox („cloud“) account
– all files are synced (one way) over there, encrypted and compressed
– they burn everything on DVD and keep an online index database which files are on which DVD
-they send you the DVD via snail mail
– if you need a file, you can find it in the online database and they tell you which version is on which DVD
I’d pay min 50 EUR/month for my 100gb backuped in that way-now: please build it!
I just came along wealthfront, which is a US asset management company – with the twist that they seem to cut out any middlemen and just take a very low mgmt. fee (0.25% of assets above 10k$).
What I find intriguing about the service is the easy of use: there are standard investment-plans you can follow, or you can answer some questions in order to find out your personal risk level you want to take with your investments – overall, the design and interface seems to be very slick and intuitive.
Besides from some nice features („automatic tax harvester“ -> balances out gains and losses to minimize tax) its the kind of service I was looking for a long time – I find a „Tagesgeldkonto“ rather boring, and gains of assets are mostly eaten up by the mgmt. fee.
Sadly, wealthfront is not available in germany yet (Only U.S. legal residents) – and because of harsh regularities in Germany, I think, it’ll take some time seeing competitors over here.

At the beginning of the year, my wife and I went to Austria, in the region of Kaernten, and had wonderful days in a small chalet.
These are the days one might start to think about things, and especially of those, which might have to change.
And as it was the beginning of the year (and yes, there are changes upcoming, oh yes…) I was starting to sort things out-first of all: restructuring my digital life on the web. When I started blogging in 2003 the platform of choice was (after movabletype) typepad.
As it was common in those days my nickname on the web was fredlog.de – just because: one had
to have nicknames…
But things have changed since then, and so I am now concentrating everything on the domain Bornholz.com (thanks to my wife, she has chosen jackibornholz.com for her site, so I may use this one-thanks darling 🙂 ).
So, be warmly welcomed to follow me here-as I feel a strong demand in myself, to start blogging on a regular basis again-to be honest: a big part of my (work) success until today has come from blogging in the early days.
