Literal criticism.
In life we study, interpret and evaluate ourselves against the others and perhaps most importantly against our current situation. Egotistic criticism in ways is similar to literary criticism, usually informed by social theory, which in the current internet driven world is the philosophical speculative discussion about ourselves based on our social networks, number of insignificant friends, photos...

Skewed social behaviour. Space as an app.
I get excited about flying, hotels and rental cars. I meticulously track my air miles and flights, logging all the details of every flight I take in FlightMemory. I am happy to be spending hours in the air and nights in hotels around the world, and that’s where I feel most at home. It’s a strange concept for most of my friends and peers but the sense of not belonging anywhere...

Title: Growing up among worlds – globally enabled childhood.
Originally a third culture kid (TCK) is someone who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside their parents’ culture. Normally the TCK builds relationships to all the cultures, while not having full...

The Perfect Bookmark
We roam the internet like locust during the plague of Egypt, consuming countless amounts of data in any form imaginable. We get over-saturated with images, videos and text, and there simply isn’t enough time in the day to process all of it especially now with our days being shorter by 1.6 microseconds. We don’t have enough resources to process everything we would like the process, and...

Visualizing Creativity: simple approach to great...
I have finally managed to read “How I Use Visualization To Drive Creativity” by Mark Suster on TechCrunch. It’s a very long article and I was really looking for the right time to read it and process it. And I must say that it’s brilliant. I’ve been following Mark Suster on twitter (@msuster) for quite some time and always enjoyed reading his blog, Both Sides of the...

DAY 10. [30 DAY CHALLENGE]
Day 10 - Discuss your first love and first kiss
My dignity and integrity doesn’t allow me to indulge in this activity aimed at hormone buzzing 13 year old girls. So instead of discussing I am going to summarize.
First kiss - I think I was on a riding camp and she was on a scout camp nearby.
First love - It came and went just like any other firsts. Immature...

DAY 09. [30 DAY CHALLENGE]
Day 09 - How you hope your future will be like.
The way I build it. Right in the middle of that Venn diagram. I can hope for the best, but getting to the future I want is a painful and long process of hard work and long hours. I have a rough idea of what I want it to be but like everything in life, future is not for certain, there is an infinite amount of paths we can take with an infinite...

DAY 08. [30 DAY CHALLENGE]
Day 08 - A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind. There were moments where I felt satisfied with my life, but I can’t think of a moment I felt the most satisfied with my life.
We all have our own definitions of life and success, there isn’t a universal formula for what’s good, there isn’t a...

Day 07 - Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.

DAY 05. [30 DAY CHALLENGE]
Day 05 - A time you thought about ending your own life.
Don’t we all think about it from time to time?
But in all fairness, probably after I received my IB exam results. Shortly after I realised that the world is full of opportunities. I realised that openness to possibilities, failure and divergent points of view is critical to the process of self discovery and invention. Before you...

DAY 04. [30 DAY CHALLENGE]
Please excuse the delay. I was in countries where the access to the Internet is restricted. Let’s pretend the break never happened. In the meantime here is what I wrote about in the past:
Day 1. Day 2. Day 3.
Day 04 - Your views on religion.
I’ve realized I don’t need religion to have values. I know right from wrong, from the way I was brought up and from the values I was...

But I am back! Currently sitting in a business lounge at Zurich airport waiting for my flight to London.

Day 03. [30 Day Challenge]
Day 03 - Your views on drugs on alcohol. Yeahhhhh…about that. Ekhm, I enjoy an occasional drink…But social implications connected to the misuse of alcohol and drugs can be very severe. I also believe that drugs should be legalized and taxed in order to bring an extra stream of revenue to the government. Remember that scientific study David Nutt published on the most harmful drugs?...

Day 01. [30 Day Challenge]
Day 01 - Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.
OK, OK I am single.
As portrayed by many of modern pop-culture protagonists, being single is awesome. I get to do whatever I want without thinking about anyone else, there are no commitments, no lines I shouldn’t cross, no awkward moments and no emotional tie-ups. I don’t have to explain myself, watch...

Importance of data
Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.
Daniel J. Boorstin
We rely on constant data flow, various information and technology which enables us to make sense of all this. The main problem with data is that there is a lot of it, and a lot of data requires good data management. There are various companies which offer great...
