It turns out that I’m in mighty fine company—GoOverseas.com has decided that I am one of Germany’s top ten blogs, presumably all written by expats.
Of the remaining 9 in the top ten, I already know six: the AmiExpat, Planet Germany, This non-American Life, No Apathy Allowed, Snooker in Berlin, and 50% of my DNA. […]
I’ve been a bad boy.
Unlike many other members of the expatriate blogging community in Germany, I haven’t promoted this year’s meet-up once! Therefore I feel like I should mention the fact that from September 10 through 12, a bunch of expatriate bloggers will hold a meet-up in Hamburg.
It is the fifth (I believe) […]
Today I updated my MacBook’s wallpaper. It’s not that I didn’t love my first self designed wallpaper, its just that it was old. Feel free to steal these–these are optimized for my 13″ MacBook and have 1280 x 800 dimensions.
Here’s the new wallpaper, which I took whilst on vacation in Antalya:

Becoming an Apple addict has not been a direct and easy path for me.
My history with Apple products is rough—after Middle School and its Apple computer lab, I didn’t voluntarily touch an Apple product until 2005 or 2006—when I bought myself an iPod.
I really liked my iPod—and the iTunes interface for my music […]
Wow, when I realized that the 2,000th blog post was getting closer, I thought that when it arrived I would have something profound to say.
Well, it’s here, and I have nothing profound to say.
I view my blog as a way to vent and as a way to record my life’s goings-on. I like […]
Here is the last of the “Out of 2000” blog series for the actual 2,000th post will arrive, barring unplanned days off, on Monday.
Today’s entry comes from Koko who I first met in January 2004 when she was a student in a class that I was teaching. She made quite the impression on me […]
One of the first friends I met after moving to Bloomington was Mateo. I met him while chatting on gay.com. What made him stand out was his profile in which he admitted to being a male Daria. Daria, for those of you’ve forgotten, was an animated series on MTV featuring a “smart, acerbic, and somewhat […]
Sometimes I feel like I’m far away from 2,000 and then there are times I suddenly realize that I should be there by the end of this month, depending upon the rate at which I keep posting.
Today, offering her thoughts, is Snooker in Berlin.
When Adam asked me to comment on one of my […]
My Pseudo Wife is a regular reader (but sadly leaves no comments) and I asked her to pick out those posts that stick out most in her mind as I approach my 2,000th blog entry.
I know my first entry must your post from May 17, 2009, Eurovision Surprise:
Eurovision 2009 was extremely memorable. This […]
My apologies for not posting this week. I have plenty of material in my head but my MacBook is sick.
I noticed a couple of weeks ago that it’s fan was loud. Initially I thought I’d wait until I was some place with an Apple Store to get it checked out. I’d even made tentative […]

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free! The username is elmadaeu on the gmail.com service.
