It’s that time of the year again. Instead of writing my goals for the next year (which I seriously think to ditch altogether) I thought to publish 100 things I made in 2009. Some of them are firsts, some of them are somehow exotic, while some of them are just personal things I did in [...]

Every now and then I try to relax and look at see things from a different perspective. A few months ago, I imagined a world formed by social networks, each network being a country (if you think a little, the total population of those social networks could easily be higher than the population of an [...]

I saw Fight Club years after it was launched. I did the same with Matrix and another few blockbusters. I’m not into hype. I like to see a popular movie after it loses the “fashionable” thing. I don’t know why I do this, it’s just a fact. Anyway, Fight Club was a fantastic experience. Few [...]

Last year I traveled more than I traveled in my entire life. I’ve been on 4 continents and circled the Earth 2 times by plane. It was an exciting time, knowing my propensity for travel as a personal development tool, but it was also pretty draining. Never having long distance trips until that was definitely [...]

As you may already know, I recently attended to Steve Pavlina’s Conscious Growth Workshop in Las Vegas. The workshop in itself was a fantastic event and if you want to know more on this, you should check out the series about it. Because in today’s post I’m not going to talk about the workshop. Instead, [...]

The second day of the workshop gave us a better Steve (and a lot less jetlagged Dragos, for what matters ). There was a visible difference from the first day when Steve had a rather rigid timeline and just a few interaction oasis. It seemed like the first day acted as a trigger [...]

For the last 48 hours I was in Las Vegas where I attend to Steve Pavlina’s Conscious Growth Workshop at Harrah’s hotel, which will start in a few hours. I decided to come earlier because jetlag is not amongst my closest friends, if you know what I mean. And staying on planes for more than [...]

When I was a teenager I spent a lot of time by myself. I don’t think I was the only one, by the way, being socially impaired is common stuff among teenagers these days. And I’m sure it was like this for centuries.
During those lonely moments my mind started to invented games. Maybe to avoid [...]

Trip To Europe – Prague

We left Vienna around 3PM, after visiting a little bit of Schonbrunn and eating. Czech Republic is only 30 kilometers away from Vienna and so we got there pretty fast. The Czech border welcome us with a fine selection of night clubs and obvious signs about “new girls every night”. Other than that the cities [...]

After a well-deserved sleep in our hotel room, we decided to leave Vienna. First we had breakfast, and then we got up to our room, starting to pack. In about 35 minutes we were all packed, luggage in the car, and check-out completed.
But we couldn’t resist to attend to one more of Vienna’s attractions: Schonbrunn. [...]

The trip to Europe started pretty well, without any problems other than the usual routine of keeping a 3 year old busy in a car, while driving more than 2-3 hours in a row. We entered Hungary around 3 PM and reached Budapest around 6;30 PM. Luckily, Diana searched for some hotels in advance so [...]
