I was playing with several photo services lately. Tabblo caught my eye and I really love how easy and intuitive it is to create photo collages :) I think one of Argos is coming soon :)

Changes long long due..

I've been meaning to update my blog for quite a while and what better time to do it than after a long day at work? And talking about work... change has not only to our government, but also to my work life. I joined the Business Development team of Synthasite, a sexy start up dedicated to empowering everyday users to create great looking websites. And with that, came many other changes, somewhat

Inspiration

Writing my business school applications has put me in an introspective mood. I've been looking for inspiration everywhere, on the weekly planes to Austin, in the cafes where I buy my steamy lattes and in the surprised expressions of the people that sometimes catch me attentively observing them.But today, as I was sitting on my wooden floor concentrated in introspection, I noticed inspiration all

In five weeks, a group of my friends and colleagues and I will complete the Waves to Wine MS Bike Ride. This is the second year we are doing this but it is the first time we are creating our own team. I grew up in Romania, in a period when disease was not something that was much talked about.

I have an addictive personality, there's no doubt about it.That's why I stay away from cigarettes, video games and ridiculously hot boys and I tend to think twice before staring to watch a new TV show or read a new author. Once I become hooked, I tend to give it my all. It happened with tea, photography, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, my start class at Deloitte, cilantro and many more of those small

So the good news is that people read my blog.How do I know? Well several interesting things happened during the past few days.1. Sri e-mailed me a great talk from the TED conference by the guy who is working on designing the $100 XO computer and talks about how the design comes to life.2. An opposite reaction came from Umung, who e-mailed me this article about how, apparently

This weekend I had brunch at Brooke's place and I got to play with the OLPC laptop. I had no idea what it was, for some reason I thought it was a laptop for little children which didn't not make much sense. The idea is cool and the laptop is not bad for $100. It's pretty slow, but very sturdy and quite fun. I also loved the local networking ability.I also hear that if you go with it and sit in a

I missed blogging.I miss it so much that I have been scribbling on napkins, in word documents and in e-mails I send to random people when I should know better. I have been writing on the glass walls of my imagination wondering why the ink vanishes by the next day.So here I am, back to writing about my weird moods and proud accomplishments, about books, crushes, entrepreneurship and food.And
