[en] Summer wish challenge
It's summer, school break, some more relaxing, it seems to me like a good time to do some planning for the next 12 months. So here's what I thought of:
[en] Business Academy’s Intro Trip
I'm writing this short post to let everyone know that the Student Council in the academy has posted information about the intro week activities we have planned for the new students and the intro trip.
The trip is going to be awesome as the council has planned all kinds of games, activities and a party. But if you're not a fresher then you're out of luck, this is a freshers only trip.
So, go to http://akademiraad.dk/introtrip/ and check it out.
[ro] Redesign pentru automatele de bilete de tramvai Arad
În recenta mea vizită în Arad am observat că în multe stații de tramvai sunt prezente automate pentru achiziționarea biletelor. Am fost foarte fericit să văd automatele și să număr rapid pe degete avantajele pe care le aduc:
[en] My trip to Romania – part 1 – Getting there
It's about time I wrote about my trip to Romania, so here it goes!
I fell asleep at about half past one, woke up at half past two, left the house at 40 past 3 and walked to the train station. The walk was nothing special and neither was getting on the InterCity Lyn for Copenhagen.

I'm leaving Romania tonight and I couldn't be happier to do so. The main reason is the heat here which I'm apparently not used to anymore. Also it seems it has paid a role in my not feeling well at all these days.
I hope I'll have a non eventful journey back to Denmark and I'll come back with a post on my journey to Romania after I've gathered my thoughts and lessons.

[en] About time
I think it's interesting how people always get nostalgic about the past. No matter how bad the times were, the human mind seems to want to always remember the good things and record them in better good light. Thinking a bit about the recent history here's how it looks in my mind:
- the 2000s were times of new technologies, new games, laptops and awe
- the 90s were a bit disoriented, simple and musical because of the walkman (yes, where I grew up the walkman was big in the 90s)
- the 80s were electronic and birth time of hip hop, they were Michael Jackson, cyberpunk and popular rebellions
- the 70s had weird glasses, weird clothing, lots of weird movies about crime, they looked simple, non technological times in a way, on the other hand space seemed just like the patch of land next door
- the 60s were confident, hippie and a continuous race to do more
- the 50s were the times of the teenager revolution, rock and roll, Beatles, Johnny Cash and Elvis
- the 40s were all about the war and ending it
- the 30s were swing, end of prohibition, end of mafia and end of jazz
- the 20s were jazz, suits, glamor of the night and prohibition
- the 1910s were the first taste of world war, disorganized and sad years
- the 1900s were the years of breakthrough discoveries: flight, restricted theory of relativity
- the 1890s seem simple, they were the times of cars
I wonder why the only people excited about the present are always marketing people. And I know that us technology people are often excited about the future, but why is it that ALL people long for the past and why is it that the past always seems simpler? Even recent times, such as last year or the year before that seem better.
How about you? How does the last century look like to you? And why do you think people tend to long for the past?

I got the chance during last week to go to Scotland and visit Ioanid while helping his friend Igor develop an iPhone app.

[en] Black
While I was cleaning the home desktop the other day I stumbled upon lots of old documents, photos and videos that I had made. Among those was this poem I wrote on 21 of September 2006 at 23 hours:
I tried to listen to music, but it was all hard rock.
I went for a walk and the bats accompanied me.
I was walking through the night and there was no light.
And I wished that I could see.
I stepped into something,
I didn’t like its smell,
It was pitch.
I went back and made myself a tea.
But all the tea I had was black and I hated it.
I took the poison from the dungeon
And I drank it to the last drop.
And suddenly, the black before my eyes seemed invisible,
The black I was hearing stopped sending chills through me,
And the black I was feeling wasn’t unsafe anymore.
I was fine, I was right,
I was dancing with the devil under the pale moon light.
Truth be told, the last line was inspired by some movie I had seen. Can't remember which.
