I love Bucharest under the cover of snow. Gray buildings become milky white, trees no longer look desolate. And while some may be unhappy with snow-covered streets and sidewalks, I think they make Bucharest, for once, a city in which one can truly live: traffic is slow and careful, there's less noise, the fewer people on the streets are nicer. There's an air of tranquility and peace enveloping

I'm not one of those directly affected by the state cuts. I don't believe President Basescu is the mother and father of all evil (in fact, I think the opposition is worse). I am not a member of the system, nor

When we first started Heineken's Electrolab podcast, back in 2009, there was no other electronic-music podcast on the Romanian market. We set out to bring fresh electronic sounds from Romanian producers and DJs to the world. And we offered artists the exposure and boost that a brand like Heineken can offer. That's why it worked. That's why podcasts like Wax Treatment, XLR8R or RA work. All those

The one thing that somebody told me that changed my life: "Charge at your dreams and never look back!".I wish I could say all the things that need to be said when it comes to courage - from its general absence in my fellow citizens, to how dear friends of mine waste their lives doing shitty jobs or shitty relationships or shitty careers because they lack the courage to say "no", or "stop", or "I

It's quite odd what fatigue can make me think about; fact is, I've seen somewhere the movie "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" mentioned, and I couldn't contain my sadness.Sadness because I feel the last two movies, Order of the Pheonix and Half Blood Prince lack personality (well, I could say they're full of bad acting from the young actors, bad direction, etc etc, but I don't feel like a

Every so often I wonder about human nature: if it is human nature to be greedy, or selfish, or evil; if it is human nature to envy, to lack compassion or mercy; or on the contrary, if we're all good by default, but somehow the environment (our family, the way we're brought up, the society we live in and its shortcomings) makes us greedy, or evil.The fact that Madonna was booed in Bucharest after

Romanians are called upon to vote soon in a race whose stakes are Romania's seats in the European Parliament.I have tried to closely watch the election debates, but that proved a task so obnoxious that I had to give it up, eventually.

"I will stop, I will stop at nothing. / Say the right things when electioneering"Yeah, so Adrian Nastazi, former Prime Minister of Romania and possible presidential contender in this year's elections was stripped down of his immunity in front of the law. There've been some corruption accusations looming around for more than 3 years now, but the prosecutor's office couldn't go ahead and pursue

I attended a live classical music concert for the first time in high school. Kind of late in life, actually. I’d go on a Wednesday or Friday evening, after classes, and I’d feel restless, or drowsy, sometimes both at the same time. I’d have little brainpower left for concentrating on what was happening on stage, let alone listen to the music. The experience of the first concert itself was

I came across this video while researching for a story.. Truly horrific. The video comes with all sorts of warnings (may not be suitable for minors, shouldn't be seen by sensitive people).. I think you all should watch this. And then, when you're ready to throw up, do something about the things you've seen.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our web of jobs, tasks, clients, meetings, and small stuff, that we forget about life.I've been to greenhours yesterday. I arrived at 2, and the place was packed with high-school teenagers skipping classes and enjoying a nice cuppa coffee. There also were about half-dozen couples, all snogging and caressing and being very much into each other. And all I could

I'm starting 2009 with an end (it does sound a bit like a Microsoft project, doesn't it? :)) ). In mid-December my work with Brici ended. The documentary (that I've stressed so many of you with) failed miserably. Lack of insight, lack of vision, lack of funds. You name it. Some of it my fault. Still, what was saddest for me was that at one point I was the only one in the company to still fight

So yeah, the title says it all. The French Cultural Institute of Bucharest is spamming my email address. It all started with an email I received from Miki Braniste two years ago. I never submitted my email address to any French Institute mailing list, never interacted with them by email.. it was awkward for me to receive an email from them. I replied, asking her where she got my email address

10 days ago I spent an incredibly beautiful evening at the Czech Center. Basically, the Knight's Hall played host to a wonderful event: Acoustic. I witnessed acoustic music, played without mics, without synths, without subwoofers or twitters. And what a great thing this was. Amidst electric guitars, mixers and cdj's, we lose something; something that an evening like Acoustic can bring back. I

When Thievery Corporation played .38 45 in Bucharest, the world stopped. I went back in time to three years ago. I'm in a house that has a curved wall, in a dubious neighbourhood, surrounded by dubious people. I was never good at offering satisfaction. But .38 45 always worked. And it's working this time too. And we dance. And it feels good. And it's simple and nice and without complications, as

I found this couple in a studio where we went to shoot a model for a campaign we're doing over @ Brici. The two of them gave me the creeps. It made me think about plastic people, and how plastic people now seem to be the ideal for many people everywhere.More photos in this flickr set.

A long time ago, it feels like a lifetime ago, I've seen a couple of outstanding documentaries at the Czech Center's Documentary Mondays.I was especially touched by the first one, called "See you in Denver"; to cut a long story short, a family of intellectuals that grew up watching Western movies in the family's cinema is devastated by the onset of communism in the country. But the real story

I just got back from the infamous Gaia club, where DJ Krush (without a beard, this time) is probably still spinning the turntables. Good beats, great music, nice people. I've been working like crazy for the last two weeks, tomorrow is another full day, and going out all night to a club in the middle of the week isn't the smartest thing I could do.

This is sort of ridiculous of me... I just listened to the 30-second previews (available on iTunes) of Thievery Corporation's tracks on Radio Retaliation (I'd buy them instantly if I had a US credit card..).. which is sort of a silly thing to do, and to write a "review" after this is even more ridiculous. But the tracks sound incredibly good. It's Thievery Corporation, alright; it's that sound we

Nu-mi aduc aminte sa mai fi scris in romana pe nedefinit. Da, nu ma dau in vant dupa limba poetului nepereche. De fapt, nu e vorba neaparat de asta. Ideea e ca in fiecare zi, citesc mai multe stiri, articole, informatii de la ei, decat de la noi. Daca paradigma in care traiesti este definita de blogurile si ziarele la care esti abonat pe RSS, atunci eu traiesc in proportie de peste 70% dincolo.

I emailed Cosmin around the time of the ICR NY scandal; in that (rather pathetic message), I explained about all the abuses that the Romanian has been perpetrating in the last 20 years, and how very often wrong things happened, things that kept us as a society from prorperly developing.. and how we forget about them! If it's not on the 7 o'clock news, it didn't happen.. Or, two weeks after that,

According to this and this, Georgian servers are undergoing a continuous cyberattack from Russia. This is worrying. The Internet is a great tool for sharing information. I'm sure things would have been clearer if Georgian websites would have been up, and if we could have had information from other sources except the governments of the two countries.

Feeder has been keeping me up-to-date with the recent scandal that the Romanian Cultural Institute of New York has been going through.I want to make something clear. Romania is a huge and complex country, and a country of contrasts; it is a country where very expensive cars splatter mud on beggars; a country where healthcare is still very poor, but where shopping malls (the bigger, the better)

So I'm (sort of) back.. until I get the time to wrap things up on undefined.ro.BUT - there are things that need to be said, conversations that need to be joined. And since everyone, it seems, has comment moderation enabled, blogs are turning into monologues, instead of the wonderful environment for conversation they should be.

As I said earlier, my little noble mac has been very sick recently.. I hate it when a mac is sick, and, unfortunately, since this one in particular was so very old (a G3 PowerBook Firewire), spare parts (aka sparts) are no longer available. There are other PoowerBook's being sold out there for sparts (in the States, mostly, none in Romania), but the thought of disemboweling a Mac just to get a

It seems disaster has struck at the beginning of this week.My adorable black PowerBook G3 Firewire has passed away in a power-related incident. Until I figure out how to fix it, or get a new one, I'll be answering e-mails with a delay, and will not be available for IM. Best way to contact me is by phone (which you can find on my facebook account, or on www.brici.ro).

Last night's meeting in Greenhours with the representatives of Toyota Romania was very fun. I shared a happy table with Cabral, Razvan, Corina, Sorin Tudor, Bobby Voicu (great meeting you all, by the way!).To cut it short, hybrid cars are definitely the shit right now - not only do you do your small bit for the environment, but you also waste less fuel, you help the country be less dependent on

It's difficult to express what one feels like after attending an Interesting conference. It's a mixture of pure joy, excitement, gratitude and deep thinking.Pure joy because I've just experienced one of the most beautiful days in a while.Excitement because I got to be a part of it.Gratitude because I've spent time with some really cool, easy-going, passionate people that have willingly shared

The day at here at Interesting Amsterdam is coming closely to an end. We've had great presentations, and very interesting speakers. I could stay here on a Fatboy pillow for 2 more days.. this is really, really fascinating.

Today has been a horrible day. Truly horrible. In the morning, I've been forced to meet a person whom I utterly dislike, and that seemed to have set the tone for the whole day. I forgot how it's like to deal with arrogant, mean, despicable people.Since I started writing this post, I tried to realize what exactly made me feel so bad today. I think I am sick of masks. Sick to the bone of people

When I was young, very young, I remember having my first escapes into fantasyland with Arabela. Arabela was, for Eastern Europe, what Lord of the Rings and Fantasia where for the Western world. Now, the Czech Center of Bucharest is bringing Arabela back into our lives for four nights of continuous wonder. Can't wait to see it :D!

Interesting Amsterdam and Interesting London are looming closer and closer; I'm meeting some very cool guys from the Peasant Museum this week to get hold of some cool pictures from them; I'm also meeting one of their main researchers for a lovely little chat. I'll post more stuff as we get close.In the meantime, also, we're doing some really, really cool work for Brici. Expect to see some blood

CEC has recently gone through a rebranding process, during which it became Cec Bank. CEC used to be a sort of state bank owned by the Romanian state; all the investments were guaranteed by the state, which meant that for a very long time it was the safest bank to put your money in, albeit at very low interest rates.For a long time, CEC had been stuck in the 1960's of banking; they were the last

In preparation for my Interesting presentation, I need to know what your expectations are when visiting a museum. So, why do you visit a museum? What are your expectations? Do you visit museums in your home city, or just when you travel?I'd really appreciate it if you could just comment below or dropped me a line by email :).

Jeffre just announced the speaker list for Interesting Amsterdam. I'll be up there holding a 20 minutes presentation on the Romanian Peasant Museum, a subject I've been fascinated with for the last 5 years. This will be the Museum as you've never seen it before ;).This fits great with what I'm working on at the moment for Brici. I'll keep you posted :).
