my name is Thomas Fruetel. I'm a professional web developer from Germany. I build websites in PHP for my employer as well as for my personal enjoyment.

I'm a Web 2.0 fanatic and a strong believer in the future of the social web. I'm also a passionate blogger, and when I'm not in front of a computer screen, I enjoy bodybuilding and powerlifting.

This site was built mainly to host my personal blog. I also have a gadget blog at Xyrox.net and a German language Webmaster Blog. Actually I run a lot more websites, but as my schedule does not permit me to keep them all up to date, I won't bore you with an exhaustive list here.

If you want to know what I think is currently hot on the net, check out my del.icio.us bookmarks you see below.
