Problem with the .ro blogosphere

7 December 2008

I’ve been blogging since 2005, when the blogs were few and people were eager to read something outsite the crappy journalist/pr press. The door was open so me and a few others just walked in. Now that blogs are mainstream, I see a lot of the new bloggers that step up and want to be […]

I am amazed

7 December 2008

That people still live in a walled garden. That they are not informed. That they jump head-first in areas they do not know anything about. For example, everybody knows we are facing a crisis, right? Almost! Because if you ask Romanians on the street, chances are that half of them do not know about a […]

work more?

30 November 2008

Would you believed it if you heard it 10 years ago? Would you believe that we would have to work more every day just to get by? I always thought I would work less and the technology would work for me. Not me working more for technology. For notebooks, phones, cameras… This is a fail […]

Back with the noise

29 November 2008

So I was looking for “tiger attacks” on YouTube. I watched 20 videos and I did not see any tiger attack. I saw a lot of noise, a lot of pixelated video, a lot of talk and a lot of misnamed videos. But I did 20 page views and 20 video views. So I contributed […]

Do you hate the holidays?

29 November 2008

If so, buy our special…! Damn, I hate the holidays! There’s nothing holy in them, just marketing and shopping. For Christmas, try to be kinder and better, so go shop! A book and a keychain will make everything better!

Too much noise

23 November 2008

I have an account on LinkedIn. I find it useful into tracking my old colleagues and friends. Two days ago I got one on facebook, because it said I cannot access a user profile if I didn’t have an account. I signed up and…I still couldn’t see the profile, because I need to be friends […]

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

4 October 2008

I was there an hour ago when Mr. Leonard Cohen sang the verse above. And a chill came down my spine when the people of Berlin shouted the name of the city. It was a great concert, a great singer, some great songs for some great fans. O2 held about 20.000 people that witnessed the […]

drinking in Berlin

15 August 2008

In Romania, public drinking is prohibited. And in the center of the cities is strictly enforced. Is tolerated in the back of the streets, in poor neighborhoods. On football games, all the shops near the stadium stop selling alcohol. It’s a shock for a Romanian to see so many people just having a drink in […]

kind people

7 August 2008

The fun part about living in a half-immigrant neighborhood in Berlin is that you don’t have to speak German. People understand you and they treat you nice, maybe just because they remember the time they come to this country and didn’t speak the language. And the Germans are nice, they probably got used to it. […]
