There were a couple of scary moments during my 60 year long journey to reach this day, but I made it!
Turning 60 is a memorable benchmark, worth a new online presence, and a good time to reflect on the past 60 years and the exciting on- and offline years ahead. My online life started about 20 years ago, with a noisy modem dial-up some of you may remember. Back in September 1999 PicTraCo was the first domain I registered , its last bits and bytes are now decomposing in the WorldWideWeb graveyard, though some elements still pop up in historic Google searches.
I always tried to be a early adopter, in search of the new new thing, knowledge, functionality and collaboration. But over the years, my multiple online presences became cluttered, sometimes maybe schizophrenic. Now with 60, a new and fresh start is possible. Gradually the more anonymous nickname of Bleiglass will be phased out, under which I published over many years in many blogs and websites. The main reason for this nick was not to hide, but had the futile goal of a clear separation between my private online presence and my exposed professional career in international banking. As a semi-retired 60 year old, I am now enjoying a very different life, and this identity separation is as redundant as my previous job. Above all technology advanced, allowing me now a more simple but still structured approach to express my views. Some legacy web presences like my Road King UK blog (https://roadkinguk.wordpress.com), active since 2010, will remain online, but I will stop to update them, and the core www.bleiglass.com will be switched off in the next couple of weeks. The content is saved, and some of the more interesting pages will migrate here to IamSixZero.com. Once I find the time ...
My future contributions on life in general and its many facets, why and how best to enjoy riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, will all be published here. The personal Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bleiglass) will continue to be active under the same URL, just its name will be adjusted, away from the more obscure name of Axel Art Bleiglass, to what my mother called me 60 years ago: Axel, with my father contributing: Thill.
Thanks for sharing the post it offers a neat bit of storytelling and insight. I appreciated how the voice felt grounded and honest, which makes it resonate. If someone is looking into options like take my online MBA exam for me, glimpsing writing that’s thoughtful and transparent reminds me how critical it is to lean into authenticity and real‑support rather than quick fixes.
Such an inspiring reflection, Axel! Reinventing your online presence at 60 shows that growth never stops. I’ve been updating my own digital projects lately and even explored eCommerce product content writing through Paysomeone To it’s amazing how refreshed storytelling can redefine how we share our journeys online.
I enjoyed reading your reflection on aging and rebirth in “I am SixZero.” The mix of introspection, humor, and digital history makes for a compelling story of evolution. While preparing for an online exam on digital identity and personal narratives, I explored manuscript editing for journals to help refine how I communicated my findings and insights. That experience led me to discover exam-helper tools that enhanced my writing clarity and analytical approach rather than just handing over answers.
The blog post took a reflective tone real talk about turning a milestone and restructuring online presence felt refreshingly human. It made me think about how some students might search for do my assignment Edinburgh when they’re dealing with transitions, identity shifts, or simply too much on their plate. The author’s honest take on past work vs new directions shows how sometimes that extra help isn’t just about finishing tasks but making space for what truly matters.
