Blogging entered my world about two or three years ago. I remember looking through a book in the student library at AUBG, titled Essential Blogging. I had no idea what the book was about, but looked at what the authors had to say and developed an interest in the topic. I started reading blogs sporadically, [...]

Mobile Charging Station
Found a picture in Guy Kawasaki’s blog from the QlikView conference. I wish we had more stations like this in public places. Could this be a viable business model, or is it worthless, having in mind the efforts put into standardizing mobile phone chargers?
Software Installation User Interface
I’m a bit of a control freak when it comes to how my computer is configured. I like to be aware of how things happen and why they do. Currently on a Windows system, the thing that irritates me the most is the Windows Registry. A nasty, unknown shared resource used by almost all applications [...]
Chrome Experiments
Are you using Google Chrome? A while ago I talked about how this browser’s introduction into the market would affect the other players. I don’t know what’s the situation today, I only know they released a final 1.0 version and are out of beta. For me, the speed and user experience that I have in [...]
Google Marking Their Own Messages as Spam
You’ve probably already heard about the new interest-based advertising Google is launching. If you haven’t, here’s a link to the ReadWriteWeb article.

For me, blogs are the primary way to stay informed about [...]
Survivorship Bias and Its Cousins in Social Networking
I was reading somewhere about survivorship bias recently. It strikes me when I think about it, how often it is out there, in the articles you read, the statistics you view and in any written material that you rely on for information. The easiest way to avoid it would be to have doubt in anything [...]
The Latest New Year Resolutions Ever
Recently I’ve been uneasy about the way I behave. I considered myself a person who loves to learn new things and has deep interest in gaining new skills. While I was still studying in AUBG, this was true and I spent the time to make sure I lived up to these principles. For some reason, [...]
What type of person writes this blog?
I Recently came across Typealyzer. Decided to try it on my own blog and here are the results: I was expecting this and don’t know if it is good or bad – you tell me
Rants About Writing and Starbucks
Reading Rob Conery’s post today, I started thinking about how often I read blogs of people having no ideas of their own, but instead writing and restating things they’ve enjoyed reading somewhere else. Now the question is – is this ok? To me it is. After all, if we waited for everyone to have his [...]
