What is on my computer

Tools and apps I work with - today: Frank Blome

Hello, my name is Frank Blome and I founded ProjectWizards in 2002. As the boss, my area of responsibility actually includes everything that no one else feels responsible for 😉. Additionally I lead the project management.

For my daily work I use a variety of programs, especially because I also like to try something new.

Wizards Web Week – week 12

What Particularly Caught Our Eye

The Internet, endless expanses. We are on a permanent knowledge journey and always discover new things, but also old things anew. In our focus are topics around management - especially of projects, Apple and its hardware as well as software, but also special like software development or software distribution. We choose websites very subjectively and mostly in the context of our mission.
