M-a contactat recent cineva care vroia sa stea de vorba. Era cica o femeie din California si vroia sa vina sa ma vada. Investigatia care urmeaza ar putea sa-ti fie folositoare.

In ultima salva din dezbaterea "nature vs nurture", un studiu de la Harvard (1) publicat in Science baga ultimele cuie in sicriul determinismului genetic (credinta ca IQ-ul este determinat de gene si nimic altceva). Studiul demonstreaza clar ca un copil pierde puncte IQ pentru fiecare luna petrecuta in orfelinat.

The reason why I always felt “at home” with computers is my first homecomputer, a “CIP”. Which was my first, back in the late 80s.

Ce poate fi mai existential decat aceste doua subiecte? Tratarea lor in doua filme superbe, filme care mi-au marcat dezvoltarea psiho-sexuala.

ctp demisioneaza din conducerea unui ziar pe care eu l-am citit de numai 2 ori in viata, si-atunci pentru articole de ctp.

Cu multi, multi ani in urma, cand eram in faculta, luasem un curs de franceza. Am publicat deja primul eseu scris in acel curs, despre primul meu sarut. Recent, am dat peste cineva care aborda cam aceeasi problema. Si m-am gandit sa public prostioara asta.

Extreme division in the public opinion is not new and is not common only to Romania. What is special about our situation is how ludicrous and paranoid their claims are. In this article commenced long ago, we look at how “tunnel vision” and “excessive focus” ruins politics, and implicitly, electorates who fail to censor the politicians who succumb to it.

A fost o vreme cand ma consideram "feminist". Am activat chiar ca "relationship counsellor" la Sexual Education Centre. Am inceput sa ma schimb. Feminismul e oricum o religie pe cale de disparitie.

Cand generalul de securitate Ion Pacepa a cerut azil politic in US, Ceausescu a avut un microinfarct iar Andries a scris celebrul sau blues. De-atunci, ghinaralul nostru a scris cateva carti care insa nu au prea fost luate in serios. Dupa introducerea si Stronach, il luam pe Pacepa in colimator (“unde e tipografia?”)

Dupa oaresce framantari si emotii, aflam ca Festivalul Filmului Romanesc din Toronto va avea totusi loc, dar mai tarziu. Pre-Festival screening incepe maine, Sambata, 16/04/2011.

Am dat-o cu Miorita hindusa, l-am introdus pe Campbell s-ale sale multe fete in lumina reflectorului, a mai ramas sa-i prezentam pe cei ramasi in umbra, care-au lucrat intr-una pe tacute dar n-au ajuns niciodata asa proeminenti precum Campbell.

I’ve recently noticed a tweet that seems to indicate the Romanians are 3rd among EU countries least happy with free movement in Europe. That’s remarkable. Why would that be?

When discussing corruption, my view is that Romanian corruption is not much higher than elsewhere, when comparing apples to apples. It irks me to hear people who try to motivate their compatriots with calls to make “corruption” like and idyllic West, because in so doing, they prove they do not know much about the West (or they have misunderstood what they’ve learned), and are also selling short their own country.

With all the March 8th celebrations, I got this idea about writing an article about each important woman in my life, starting with early childhood or as far as my memories go. That would take a while.

It's a sad day for Ioan Pop, his family, and Romanian Christian Orthodoxy in general, but on the bright side, the abused women are finally getting some closure and Ioan Pop won’t have a chance to repeat his weird brand of sexual religiosity. As usual, I am not content with only reporting on the news; I have a few other things to say.

Cum ziceam in mit I, sunt multi cei care si-au dat cu parerea despre mit. Daca ne gandim la ei ca fiind bloggeri, Campbell e un fel de problogger in sensul ca foarte multi au auzit de el si i-au absorbit ideile. L-am descoperit urmarind faimosul “Power of Myth”, filmat cu putin inainte de moartea sa de Bill Moyers / PBS la Skywalker Ranch-ul lui George Lucas.

Tot agitandu-ma cu paralele dintre intamplari romanesti si occidental occurrences, ochiul mi-a cazut pe o reclama la o revista cu nume de ceas. E revista care face bine la cap, sunt sigur c-ai vazut-o deja. Si gandul m-a dus la alte paralele capoase.

Vorbeam despre moastele Sfantului Nectarie care-au fost recuperate. Iata ca si capetele de maori au razbit prin birocratia franceza si pornesc la lungul drum catre Noua Zeelanda.

One of the many silly “arguements” (sic!) listed in the previous article stuck with me: men are more desperate and supposedly stalk women more so than women do men. I do not recall ever stalking someone, but I do recall being stalked a few times (not killed or maimed, just a tad annoyed).

O poveste des primita prin email se refera la munca patriotica de deszapezire pe care toti cei cu casa sau business stradal trebuie s-o depuna cand ninge. Ceea ce, in Canada, se-ntampla destul de des.
