Ahh, da, Tara zice ‘tag, you’re it’ si eu am tot uitat sa raspund.

O parere gratuita:

1. Care e cel mai prost/stupid/mîrlan/libidinos/retard om politic roman? Sunt o tinara nascuta dupa ‘89, frustrata si nu imi pasa de tara mea. Cum sa zici totul si nimic. Pastrati-va placintele!
2. Care e cel mai misto blogger roman? Sa fac o gluma-cliseu si sa zic “EU”. Nu pot sa dau un nume ca se supara altii si ce-mi place mie nu le place altora. (vezi Internetics sau trafic) Imi plac insa Victor Kapra si Marius Ghenea. Pe ultimul cand am timp sa-l citesc. Nu e tocmai blogger in adevaratul sens al cuvantului dar imi face placere sa citesc.
3. 3. Cea mai “naspa” persoana publica promovata in acest an de media romaneasca (cu institutia de media inclusa) Pe-asta n-o mai stiu, urasc atat de multe “persoane publice” incat am pierdut numarul. Cand o sa-si dea singuri doua palme si o sa-si revina atunci mai vorbim!

Leapsa e deschisa, cine simte ca vrea sa o preia se poate simti liber, ca sa nu zicem ca blogosfera e un cerc de elitisti care se cunosc intre ei si nu accepta outsideri!

Se intampla lucruri, scuzati deranjul si inconvenientele provocate pe parcursul acestui proces dureros.

Serviti un ceai intre timp. Cu dedicatie pentru mazilique.

“Ce se intampla?”

• Dupa cum ziceam, mi-am gasit parola de pe weblog.ro si de dragul nostalgiei am recuperat insemnari de acolo, le-am organizat, le-am curatat de greseli, le pun tag-uri si le aduc in WordPress ca sa fiu sigura ca nu le mai pierd. Si ca pot sa recuperez ceva din trecut.
• Adaug cunostiinte vechi in Blogroll, cu chiu cu vai.
• Au aparut insemnari precum: “Deva si Parcul National Retezat“(big), “Alex“, “Mihnea“, “Troy Uncut“, “Paradoxul Craciunului“, “Gaini Moarte“. Vorbind de Retezat, daca simtiti nevoia sa contribuiti la ceva “2.0″, indreptati-va catre 43places.com si contribuiti cu poze (Ex. Parcul National Retezat, Sibiu). Sunt in jur de 1030 oameni care locuiesc in Romania sau au vizitat Romania daca e sa ne luam dupa ei si cred ca in afara de hartile Google (inclusiv Earth) si Flickr e al treilea cel mai util loc cu destinatii turistice si nu numai.
• Am gasit si insemnarea despre Centrala Nuclear Energetica de la Cernavoda.
• A aparut si “Pe Scurt: 2005“

Citeam azi in cotidianul despre cum un avatar din Second Life a fost dat in judecata si radeam oarecum - cati oameni o sa ia in serios chestia asta intr-atat de mult incat sa zica ‘catre asta ne indreptam noi, in viitor copiii mei o sa fie dati in judecata pentru un personaj de pe internet’ in ritmul in care INCA mai exista oameni care vad ceva potential in Second Life?

Second Life’s dead, baby, Second Life’s dead!
