Lately I've been watching a lot of Boston Legal and I'm not quite certain how I got into it, think I saw it on telly once or twice then suddenly decided to simply download the remainder when I noticed our television wasn't airing it anymore. So off I went and downloaded season three and four [...]
Sex, fun and games
There are many expressions of love out there ranging from the single red rose to flamboyantly outrageous public performances to declare love in the most expensive and silliest of ways. Women love them all I believe, they care for the single rose because it's special and they love the big shebang because let's face it, [...]

Thoughts of a lonesome writer on a Thursday cocktail
Thursday night, cocktails at Zeleni zajec – I get two for the price of one and it's still expensive even when compared to whiskey. Doesn't have as much of an effect either.

The world is actually fair
A lot of people claim the world is unfair and that good things only come to the undeserving and the people trying their hardest get the worst of what life has to throw at them. This, I believe, is weakling escapism employed by those unfitting of greatness, the weak ones who say winning doesn't matter, [...]

Hug a developer
Everything the video Hug a developer says is true – there probably isn't a job more difficult than being a developer, at least no intellectual job can be much more difficult. Yes we're like gods to other less perfect beings and yes we do appear omnipotent and like we know everything, but the fact of [...]
