Acum o luna, Google a-mbogatit serviciul de traducere prin adaugarea a inca 11 limbi, pentru un total de 35 de limbi. Un prilej cum nu se poate mai nimerit de a republica widgetul de traducere cu steaguri.

Daca poti adauga bucati de JavaScript la blogul tau, atunci poti permite cititorilor tai sa-si traduca ce-ai scris tu din romana in engleza plus alte 20 de limbi din Google Traduceri, apasand o singura data pe steagul corespunzator. Iata aici o-ncercare de-a-l reda succint:

In viralul lor de 1 Aprilie, Qualcomm au o idee mareata (al doilea clip din lista): combinarea unor specii de prada pentru a controla proliferarea porumbeilor. S-ar zice ca Gugal au ingemanat si ei doua produse cu rezultate nu tocmai spectaculare. Nici macar spectaculoase.

When friends ask me about immigrating to Canada, my first answer is always DON’T!. However, though I’ve already written about this in the past, I have yet do so in English, so I’ll do so here, especially since yesterday I answered another reader.

I have meant to write at length on this individual and, as expected, not only that reality caught up with me, but it left me far behind. I never expected for things to go this far, which is why I am revisiting it now.

There are many ways, these days, to celebrate April Fools Day. I'm going to share with you a James Joyce poem along with the story of having sent it. (If you’re looking for a more conventional April Fools celebration, check out 2009.)

Am aflat de pe twitter despre un videoclip cu Scrisoarea a III-a a lui Eminescu. Si-am purces sa-l privesc, ocazie cu care am mai descoperit cateva asijderea.

Despite having better things to do and write about, a recent article published by Deutsche Welle annoyed me enough to get me to write about the non-debate happening in USA and discuss abortion.

A rather popular essay these days is Don't date a girl who travels (link in Sources). Some would use the word "viral" but I'm a mysophobe (aka germaphob) when it comes to travel.

One of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Romanian bard from Moldova, Ion Creanga – famous for his “Recollections from Childhood”. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google.

Though it may be unfair to extend the failure of the Romanian National Press Agency (Agerpres) and the Romanian External Affairs Ministry to an entire nation, let us not forget that part of their job is to represent the country. The recent faux-pas, confusing the French contours with the German one in a one-print commemorative brochure is, unfortunately, indicative of the dilettantism that has taken over the Romanian government.

"Little birds" is the English mot-a-mot translation of bijboace, clampacioace, fofoloance. Just the other day, a Latvian friend visited me and brought me as a gift some candy from her native country. And as she explained laughing and blushing, the candy name had a dual meaning.

It’s been a while since we haven’t talked about poverty in Romania and solutions. A recent “debate” caused by an over-the-top article on not giving money to the poor gives us a chance to look at it again and also address our reticence with BDSM practices.

Este donatia unei operatii de chirurgie plastica un act de emancipare sau o exploatare patriarhala a unei copile naive? Sunt femeile asuprite in Occident si daca da, de catre cine? Nu pot sa nu-mi amintesc o scena cu Bamo, cand stateam “La Mama” cu el si alti chirurgi plastici colegi la o masa, si prietenele lor se laudau cu cate operatii aveau la activ.

I recently learned some interesting facts from a follow-up (by a Romanian news outfit) on the “Romanian Government attack” on the corrupt Adamescu family who is “not showing off” and it reminds me of a joke with Ivan, the American Spy.

Anumite discutii din ultima vreme, vremea de rahat de-afara, certuri cu un prieten, si-alte alea m-au cufundat intr-o stare cam proasta. Dac-as fi pictor, s-ar chema "perioada albastra".

Now that the European results are known and Euroscepticism discussed, after a short detour through Canadian visas for Romanians, we will finally take a look at the Romanian politics.

Today I met another European woman. Originally from Spain, she told me she worked in the Czech Republic for a while as a translator. Upon learning I'm Romanian, she also felt the need to share with me that there were "a lot of Romanians" in the Czech Republic who wanted to come to Canada but couldn't, because there is no visa treaty. When I told her that there were some problems here with Czech Roma getting visa through fraud and the visa had been suspended, her reaction was to remove her Czech work experience from her resume, out of fear that “Czechs now had a bad name.”

The initial motivation in starting this blog was telling a number of "origin" stories. Some I have already told, some I left for later, but for the most part, telling these stories is the main raison d'etre for this collection of characters (i.e., letters, numbers and strange people – the constituent parts of this blog). One of them is the story of my last year or so in Romania, a time when I lived on my own in my Drumul Taberei / Favorit apartment.

Incepusem sa vorbesc in primul articol despre cum vaz eu lucrurile si-n special conjectura l3st. Ici-sha trecem din planul ideatic in parcarea din spatele blocului si cercetam ce e de facut.

ATENTIE! Aceasta este versiunea veche a FAQ-ului - cea noua in pagina.
A venit momentul sa astern pe ecran gandurile pe care le am in legatura cu acest blog. Sunt haotice, asa ca vom incerca sa bagam putina ordine-n dezordine si voi prezenta totul sub forma de FAQ = lista de intrebari care au fost sau ar putea fi adresate frecvent, fervent, efervescent.
