I don’t like judging things without knowing them, so usually I don’t rate movies or books which I haven’t seen. This time however I must make an exception. I’ve seen part of Killing Seasonrecently. Story is simple. Benjamin Ford (De Niro) is one of the executioners during the Bosnian War. One of the people who were supposed to be executed is Emil Kovac (Travolta). He survives. And yes, he wants a revenge.
Taking into account recent revelations with Edward Snowdenand government surveillance programs I’ve started to thinking that maybe I should ditch my email provider and host it on my own server. It’s definitely not good when somebody is reading your emails, even if you’re innocent. Or maybe especially?
OK, so I would host my own email server and then what. Well, nothing. All my friends and family members are using Gmail or other email services from big companies.
My story with Apple started late with first iPhone. I was visiting States for the second time and wasn’t planning to buy this phone. I’ve went to Apple Store to buy one for my colleague who wanted it badly. After I’ve seen it in action I’ve immediately bought one for me. And as there was purchase limit back then I wasn’t able to get one for my pal after all. I’m still feeling a bit sorry about that.
As new Mac user I’m reading a lot of stuff about it. And I’ve realized that apps helping you to focus on some subject are becoming more and more popular. Just to name two there are: Concentrateand Think. They have only one purpose to isolate apps you need to work with at the moment and let you concentrate on your work, so you’re not being distracted by incoming mails, IM messages and so on.
I think somebody in US government has lost his mind. The new idea to improve the security in air traffic is to give every passenger Safety Bracelet. It would have built-in GPS (and also a chip with personal information about passenger) and some kind of teaser which would shock him with electricity when he would step out the line. I think it’s crazy and somebody who invented it should be prisoned.
Today I was driving to work, I stopped before the crossway. Suddenly the car before mine started to driving backward. I’ve started hitting the horn, but the car hit mine. I’ve got out from my car and below is the conversation between me and other driver, the woman.
Me: How are you driving?!
Woman: I’m not driving, I’m standing still (I know that this is wrong in English).
M: So how you have hit my car while you’re standing?
I’m 25 years old and currently I’m in USA, for a second time. I wanted to buy a pack of beer with my friend so we went to the liquor store. I knew that USA has strict rules about selling alcohol, so I’ve informed my friend to get his passport, I didn’t get mine. So, we got to the store, I’ve chosen Sam Adams Lager, friend of mine Sam Adams Octoberfest, but that’s not important.
This year we’re celebrating 15 years of McDonalds in Poland. Because of that Mac decided to run credit card payment for Polish customers. I must explain that credit cards are in Poland for several years now. But Mac avoided this way of making payments very long. Most of other restaurants had such service years earlier, even KFC. And people in Poland used to talk that our local companies are not up to date, but you see… not only Polish:)
Today I’ve watched a movie Cujo, based on a novel of Stephen King. In this movie father told to son that there are no monsters in real world there are only in fairy tales, because he was afraid of monster in his closet. When I heard that, I got such thought that there are monsters in real world, but it’s not such easy to identify them like in fairy tale or movie.
