In: Business
28 Apr 2010[Image source] There are only two ways to catch up a “market leader”: 1. the leader makes very bad decisions that eventually comes back to haunt him and leaves him vulnerable. or 2. you buy a startup or small company that has the innovation, but lacks the resources, giving you a better possibility of [...]
Ditch the Project Manager, Get a Mentor
In: Business
28 Feb 2010Drop the clichés, forget about what a engineer and a artist are suppose to do and don’t judge based on the university title or gender. This is the information revolution, where anybody with the will power to learn, can be anything they want. Sure the revolution hasn’t reach everybody on the planet, but is on [...]

24 Oct 2009I get a call around 6:00 pm on Friday. I’m at work and is a friend, he wanted to know if I’m interested in going with him to a Romanian Rock Concert. He had a extra ticket (so for me is for free), even if I felt tiered and had just 2 hours to get [...]
[Image Source] What are cheap alternatives? In my case is any airplane flight by Delta or Ryanair. Other examples of such products or services are: winter clothing, sport apparel, laptops, designer and architect services.

Some hours ago Gmail was down and everybody started to complain. Now is up and running and people are still complaining.
