Este interesant de vazut cat de repede se raspandeste o stire in blogosfera romaneasca. La ora scrierii acestui articol, Google Blogsearch listeaza 7 pagini de rezultate despre Cuil.com si pana cand citesti tu, vor sari de zece. Un prilej excelent sa ne uitam la motoarele de cautare si cum au evoluat.

The Romanian expression would be “niste carnati expirati” though in English I could’ve called them hotdogs or patsies just the same. Now, I owe a new installment in an older series, due to a debt born in comments; I know that and I’ll get to it eventually. However, this one is simpler and takes less time to write, which is why I am writing it now, quickly.

Imi place Google, chiar daca mi-au suspendat contul AdSense fara explicatie, ca apoi sa mi-l reinstaureze fara sa-si ceara scuze. Probabil ca mi-ar place si mai mult dac-as fi cumparat stock la IPO, dar mi s-a parut overpriced si am asteptat o corectie... care nu a mai venit. But it's all good.

I keep reading about Romanian Police incompetence and I can tell you that I’ve seen far worse here in Toronto. I learned about former cop and current “forensic psychologist” Butoi telling us why a living girl’s carbonized remains ended up in a barrel (cf Romanian “butoi”). And beyond all these facts, inadequacies and incompetence, the question we want to answer even though we know we can’t is why?

Adam Hirsch nu se lasa intimdat si ne trimite lista castigatorilor alegerilor popolare de tehnologii internet, pe categorii. Sigur ca le-as putea comenta, dar n-am chef, si de fapt nici timp

In completare la articolul anterior despre exemplul strainezilor de trafic, discut abonamentul prin posta din Toronto si publicitatea facuta transportului in comun.

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.

Aceasta este, desigur, turul doi de scrutin … Daca n-ai votat in alegerile reale, iata o sansa uriasa sa devii mai conectat

Ici Radio Vacance, Costinesti!
This is Radio Holiday, Costinesti!

Aici RadioVacanta, Costinesti!

Perusing the Romanian press, everything is shocking and all sources of info seem to be tabloids. Perhaps time is ripe for an overview of all the crap that’s overflowing.

Fiindca, pare-se, e nevoie de o campanie ROM pentru a afla ce spune Google. How "lice-laced" must you be to hear in a TV commercial about Google?!

In vremuri demult apuse, exista o colectie de carti colorate (numa' coperta era colorata si decorata) cu acelasi titlu. Si erau poezii din tot felu' de autori, intr-o carticica mai mica decat podul palmei, ceea ce o facea super pentru luat in autobuz, tramvai sau metrou la orele de varf. Iti lasai sufletu' sa zboare catre stele, sau iesea el singur, tu numai ii dadeai directie, ca oricum nu mai avea loc in corp de cata presiune era pe tine. Mai maraia cate unu' din cand in cand, "iete la el, e intelectual, noi murim aici si lui nici ca-i pasa! tara arde si..."
Eu: "bai capone, eu-s nebun si cartea asta ma drogheaza. daca n-o citesc, iti rup mainile si te bat cu ele. ce preferi?". E bine sa sfarsesti printr-o intrebare in situatii limita, fiindca uneori asta face oamenii sa gandeasca. Si cand gandesti, fie si in termeni simpli, disipezi prostia si / sau violenta.

I am repeatedly getting inquiries from people who are upset that this blog isn't solely about Zamolxis, as its name might suggest to them. This shouldn't be difficult.

A while back, in the “Hier spricht der FerienPunkt, Kostinesti!” article, I tried to figure out the song behind the “Radio Vacanta” generic was and I failed (nor could I find it elsewhere). If there’s one motto to my existence (or at least to my self-image), that’s never give up.

Fiind vichend, m-am gandit sa va zbun o bovezde. Poate mai multe, daca am timp. Cum ar fi ca cineva - nu spui cine, persoana (care se crede) importanta - m-a pus pe agregatorul dumisale.

This is an article I started a while back as the continuation of another, but abandoned before completion. The article no longer reflected my feelings, it seemed exaggerated and somewhat hysterical. I rediscovered it recently, as I needed a reference buried in it.

Am facut recent o boacana, in sensul ca mi-am sters din greseala un articol mai vechi. Am bajbait cautandu-l, l-am gasit, l-am pus la loc. M-am gandit sa-mpartasesc experienta, fiindca omul invata din greseli, da' parca-i mai bine sa-nveti din greshalele altuia (in speta, moi). Articolul asta va fi folositor celor care se gandesc sa-si faca blog sau au deja; daca nu te numeri printre ei, e preferabil sa-l sari.

I continue with my answer to a friend, started in asa.zamo.ca/immigrate2canada.

Though inordinate, this childhood memory was quite far from being an extraordinary event, and as such, I wasn't going to write about it. But a recent, excellent article but this quasi-famous disciple of an even more famous philosopher caused me to reconsider and share this story with you.
