Usually I almost always the skip the headlines in the newspapers where it says "New study .. New survey.." because you never know who paid for the study. It's not surprising that you will get totally different results in two studies that are dealing with the same topic .. always depending on who was the "financier" of the study. It's the same with opinion polls before an election. Just recently I stumbled upon a headline that read something like "tell me what... Read Full Story

About one week ago the world's financial markets were in a deep depression (and they still are) and it seemed as if we are gonna have a lot of job hunting stockbrockers soon. Some stock exchanges lost more than after 9-11 and while some people were very/are concerned about the near future of the world econonomy others thought that a correction was long overdue.

... so what? Never before has Croatia lost a qualification game in Zagreb but on Wednesday it happened. Croatia 1 - England 4; true, it is bitter and the Croatian squad didn't look to competitive. However, the media's reaction to this defeat is a shame. Last year when Croatia beat England at Wembley stadium the newspapers and online portals were euphoric. Slaven Bilic was a god and the players were heroes. It almost seemed as if Croatia was unstoppable and that winning the Euro 2008 w... Read Full Story

Gone are the times when almost everybody was downloading music, movies, software and so on from Napster, Kazaa and all the other p2p networks.

Just recently I watched a rerun of Knight Rider and after the episode I desperately wanted to listen to the Knight ... Read Full Story

It's been almost 40 years since Apollo 11 touched ground on the moon. Well, of course I wasn't born back then but I have always been fascinated by everything that is connected to the Apollo missions. Probably this is also why I have chosen the "moon look" for this blog. Read Full Story

First it all happened in Zagreb when Croatia defeated England 2:0 and more than a year later it was this memorable night at Wembley Stadium when Croatia won 3:2.

Wow this was some exciting news this morning. Lance Armstrong wants to participate in the Tour de France 2009; officialy it's supposed to be a symbol in the fight against cancer but to be honest I think that Lance was a little bored during the last years. Don't get me wrong .. I believe that he put a lot of energy into his Lance Armstrong Foundation but I also think that nothing on this earth can give him a bigger motivation boost than to do the Tour de France again. In a co... Read Full Story
