After a very long absence, due to various reasons, here is a fresh new video:

Technical Problems

For the next few days (up to 3) there will be some issues with the blog. This is due to our provider who’s upgrading the services and will generate some unexpected side-effects :(

Nerd score, Nerd King

Is it good? Is it bad? Time will decide until I’ll found my kingdom (if you know of something available just drop me a line)…

“The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov

…it just become one of my favorite short stories. Together with “The Star” from A.C. Clarke… Just read it and feel it… the best used 10 minutes this week.

Light Painting

A few minutes ago I’ve tried, for the first time, light painting. And it worked! After searching for a suitable flashlight, in the lunch break (finally I’ve found one but not small enough for my taste) I expected the night and… you can see the results. They are dedicated to a very special person for me… URS!

All I need now is imagination and time…

Zenove weekend

Last weekend 10 persons started from Sibiu for a 2 days trip near Avrig, at Zenove camping. In the afternoon 2 more persons joined us and we become 12 (apostles). Saturday we went to Barcaciu (at 1550m altitude) to have the dinner there, after a 2 hours climb. Not long after that we descend back with fear of rain (it was forecast to start after noon but we were lucky, this time the forecast was wrong - only a few dark clouds on the top of the mountains).
In the afternoon we had a small party (with music not too loud, because of the neighbors :) ) and waited for the rain which arrived in the night, finally.
The second day was rainy… and I was wet in less than 5 (five) seconds (but this is another story, not for the blog).
Below you can see some of the pictures; for more you can browse the trip album here http://www.staicu.com/zenove.
I’ve made some movies as well but I need time to transfer and prepare them. They’ll be publish here, eventually.

PS. The dog you see in one of the photos cleaned the last traces of food remaining after the night party… lesson learned - put away the remaining food or the “bears” will eat it!.

PPS. Due to some problems (lack of time, mainly) the blog is not updated as often as I would like and the problems won’t be fixed in the next month…

The cat and the laptop

A cat is playing on a laptop (or with a laptop?). Worth looking :D.

Greece 2007

A new photo slide show with pictures from various Greek places in 2007 is uploaded on YouTube.

I’m waiting for a never coming feedback, as usually.

What Does the Color of Your Car Say About You?

The color car you drive actually says a lot about who you are to your friends, family, co-workers, potential dates and clients. There is some indication that the color car you drive can have as much impact on that “first impression” as the make and model.
Here is a snapshot of what your car color is broadcasting about you.
