The Biology of Politics

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Today is Sunday, and, as it is becoming my tradition, I enjoy watching at specific issues (e.g. political polls) from a different perspective.

Mirror image publishing

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

This blog, beside being a personal blog, is a commentary on technology & politics.

If you follow my blog here or on draugiem.lv, you know that since February, when I started publishing online this blog, I publish here more “business-oriented” items.

Today, a “mirror image publishing” to simplify accessing only the business-oriented posts.

If you have been following my blog for some time, you know that I am relatively old (born in 1965), and that I saw since my childhood political campaigns- before being part of my first ones as a teenager.

Instant gratification politics.
