Hacker’s lament
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950’s technobrain ever take a look behind the eyes of the Hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a Hacker, enter my world…. Mine is a world that begins with school… I’m smarter than […]
Blindfolded nation
Recently a friend of mine pointed me to one interesting Pakistani video. To be honest, I don’t get a word what the video is about, since it is on Pakistani language, but you can kinda get the message from the fact that all the adults in the video are blindfolded. The video is called “A […]
I vote for Charlie Chaplin
Definitely, if there is a politician who would think and drive as Charlie Chaplin did in the Great Dictator, I would vote for him/her. This speech outlines the value humanity or a community should strive to. This is quite funny comedy of Hitler at that time, but the speech is everlasting and remains true. Here […]

Manchester – first impressions
I haven’t written here for couple of months. There was several reasons for that. My trip to Manchester and my PhD was preparing. There was a lot of changes going on, and there was almost no time for writing. Now there is a little time to write about first impressions. I arrived to Manchester at […]
Protest na pogrešan način
Pre nekoliko sati sam na facebook-u dobio poziv za nekakvu protestnu šetnju u organizaciji studentata mislim da ekonomskog fakulteta, zbog poslednjih presuda donešenih u Hagu. Ok, slažem se da presude treba osuditi i da protiv njih treba protestovati, jer u njima nema pravde, ali me to nateralo da se zamislim nad različitim načinima za protest. […]
