Time passes. Like sand grains in a hourglass. Except it's not that visible. While you are young, it doesn't matter much. It fells like there is an infinite ocean of it. Only when you get older you realise its true value. The hourglass is meant to be a metaphor, but to make it more powerful... Continue Reading →
Ever think about starting a startup?
Last night I was attending a meeting about startups. Like a cat's curiosity needs a ball of string to play, my curiosity got the best of me and I went to see what was all about. Startups are all about solving problems. And most of the startups fail. Thats it, we could end it here... Continue Reading →
Do you still read a book if you have seen the movie (or played the game)?
Usually I won't read a book if I've seen the movie. Or played the game. With few exceptions. One of the exception being getting Metro 2033 as a present. Even though I played the game, it was a long time ago. It had some uniqueness to it, so it made an impression even if I... Continue Reading →
Always watch your kid
Always watch your kid - even when surrounded with people you trust. No one will care for him as much as you do. Be weary of people who are charming, outspoken. Just as much as they are genuinely enjoying spending time with your kid, they can easily be distracted. I found this to be true... Continue Reading →
What makes a movie great?
Since I was a kid a loved movies. Back then we had a black and white TV and there was only one channel - the national channel, which had only one hour of screen time. Mostly about our beloved "ruler". This was in the late '80s, and times weren't so good in communist Romania. Luckily... Continue Reading →
The time we visited: Mexico, Cabo San Lucas
Winter has arrived. When you start to feel like you had enough of it, it's good to think of warmer times. And what better place to remember than Cabo San Lucas. It was the summer of 2016 and we had a week of sun, sand, blue sky and endless ocean. The view from our window... Continue Reading →
Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
I was reluctant to write about this. The truth is nobody likes to be called a pessimist. They have a bad reputation, as if a black aura follows them around. Or a black cloud and it always rains on them. At least that's how an optimist would see a pessimist. On the other side, the... Continue Reading →
Why is sleep so elusive?
I don't want to go to sleep. It's what my baby kid would say if he could talk already. It's the same for me. I need to be bored 300% and even more tired before I head to bed. I wonder why. Somehow, there always seems to be something to do, something to watch, something... Continue Reading →
Happy new year!
Goodbye 2019, happy to see you 2020. This year has been a great year - the year my son was born. This year I also started this blog, mostly to try it out. So far I'm liking it and will continue to write as long as I have something to share. Thanks to all the... Continue Reading →
What is Christmas all about?
Christmas is around the corner. Again. What is it all about? If you ask ten different people, you will get ten different answers. Is it about the Christmas tree and the carols you hear everywhere? Is it about family gatherings? Or is it about Santa Claus and presents? Does it still have a religious nature... Continue Reading →
