Epic Bread

May 8th, 2012

After many trial and error attempts I finally did it. I created epic bread.It is made out of three kinds of flour, with 4 kinds of seeds added for extra flavor and texture. Plus a secret ingredient. Click the image to enlarge. It's best consumed like this. Wine optional. Guaranteed to make your day.If you want to see a video of me making this, add your vote in the comments.

The Valley is focusing too much on 140 characters and not enough on flying cars

Apr 23rd, 2012

Peter Thiel says that the "the Valley is focusing too much on 140 characters and not enough on flying cars" and this message resonated really well with me. There is so much money floating around and it's being invested to startups that really solve no problem. Even worse, some of them basically invent the problem and then try to convince us that we had it all along.

Take a break, you need it

Apr 3rd, 2012

Oh boy do I like to work. I often have 14 or 16 hour work sprees. I am addicted to work. Work brings me satisfaction and expands my horizons. But you know what? Best ideas that I ever had, happened during my time off work. Like when strolling down the shore line. Or driving. Almost as if my brain refuses to come up with something really creative unless it's in idle mode. When I am forcing it to come up with a great solution to a problem - nothing. Nada. Zilch.
