About Tobias Schwarz
German, turned 30, balding slowly, hopefully with grace. A carnival junkie, who, after studies in business and politics in Mannheim, Paris, and London, is currently living in his hometown of Mainz, Germany, again, working on a phd when he's not too busy writing, composing, or supporting his home side Mainz 05.
Turned New Labourite during a research job at the House of Commons, but difficult to place in German party-political terms. Liberal in the true sense of the term. His political writings are mostly on
A Fistful of Euros these days. His personal blog
Almost A Diary was a predominantly political blog in 2002-2003 but is now usually living up to its name, even though it can also be reached through the promising URL
www.ichbindeutschland.de. Other bloglike activiy includes his musicblog
www.tapsmusic.de, his musician account at myspace.com (
myspace.com/tobischwarz), where you can listen to some of his songs..
This blog was also mentioned in the Foreign Policy Magazine as one good blog on Western European Politics.
Yep, and that in my mind is more a feather in the cap than winning a 2004 Wingnut Award. We never mentioned or bragged about it on the blog, maybe we should have.
*thumbs up for this blog*
Now, come on, what makes you think that I?m unable to appreciate you ? I think that by including good stuff [you] in the selection [I made] sometime in the future winning a Weblog Award should/could be as important as being ?mentioned in the Foreign Policy Magazine?. If you enter the game now that the opportunity is given.
Anyway, I would like to thank people who nominated you.
