A couple of days ago there was some buzz on Twitter about the truly original header of Campaign Monitor Worldview feature. It’s indeed a fresh and new approach: But 4 months ago, a Romanian designer, Claudiu Cioba, posted this on dribbble:

Vreţi o ţara ca a mea?

Încep să am speranţe despre cum va arăta România de peste 20 de ani. Dincolo de ce aseamănă generaţia mea cu cea care va contura România de peste două decenii, sunt câteva lucruri care, din fericire, ne separă. Noi am muncit pentru bani. Ei muncesc pentru ei înşişi. Nu se uită în primul rând la ce-şi pot cumpăra cu o sumă de bani, ci la ce fel de viaţă le poate oferi o sumă de bani. Nu de puţine ori … Continue reading

Încă una despre România

What if I told you of a place where there is a growing and vibrant IT entrepreneurial community, and yet it is in a country that lacks a single university in the top 500 in the world? This is exactly what I found in Romania these past few days. via: Does an Innovation Ecosystem Need an “MIT” or Will Evita Perons Do?: A Romanian Tale Asta apropo de postul anterior.

Aş mai adăuga: aici lucrurile se petrec mult mai repede decât oriunde altundeva. ardem etape la greu. simt că România are o misiune specială în “ecuaţia universală” cred că misiunea fiecăruia e în strânsă legătură cu locul în care fiecare a ales să se nască pentru argumentele din comentariile de aici pentru cele ilustrate mai jos. fotografii de: iustyn. (mai puţin cea de mai sus ;)) Mai completează cineva lista?

Off to the mountains

IMG_1698, originally uploaded by altrix. I can no longer stand the heat in Bucharest and decided to go for a breath of fresh air. I will be gone next week – in the mountains, Rodnei mountains. It’s been 11 years since my last visit there – I hope Ioji, the self-taught bodybuilder mountain rescuer is still there so I can have a drink with him and remember the old times. 600km away from Bucharest, in northern Romania – probably we … Continue reading

Metallica comes to Bucharest afterall

Metallica, originally uploaded by kirk jarvis. Although we already bought tickets for Metallica concert in Prague, Metalhead comes with some great unofficial but pretty certain news – Metallica will perform in Bucharest on 26 July 2008, probably at Romexpo. This makes a lot of sense, as they are performing one day before in Sofia, Bulgaria.   Seems that Bucharest is the place to be in 2008 if you are a fan of live concerts – we will host this summer … Continue reading
