Avertisment: articol lung, poveste personală !! AÅŸ vrea să mă întorc în timp pentru a-mi aminti cum a fost cândva, anumite trăiri, anumite sentimente. Nu mă consider un romantic, ÅŸi nu cred că pot descrie exact ceea ce s-a întâmplat, mai ales că am început să uit, dar cred că pot gÄ...

In 2007, when vertical search was hotter than Twitter, people search was the cherry to pick. Indeed, many tried.  Spock  Spokeo, Wink, Peekyou, Pipl.com and in some ways, Israel’s own Delver, to name a few. Now the people search vertical is heating up again with the recent launch of two pr...

While contests tend to give my blog a small boost, I find learning about other people more rewarding. Consider that most of the stories I received about why a loved one deserves flowers reveal a bit about what is going on in America in a way that the media fails to capture. Below are a quote or two ...

I finally got around to writing my 25 Random Things post on Facebook.  I’m sharing it here as well… 1. I’m a first generation American. My Dad is Dutch and my Mom is Swedish. 2. I spent every other summer in Sweden until I was about 13 years old. I didn’t realize how special...

Scenario: Your 13-year-old daughter comes home from school, runs crying up to her bedroom with cell phone in hand. Do you: Go up and talk to your daughter but don’t ask to see the message on the phone. Demand to see the messages on the phone. Go back to making dinner and pretend nothing happened. ...

I don’t remember what toy it was, but it had a lot of pieces. Seth was beyond excited as he pulled the wrapping paper off. He begged me to open the clamshell package. With scissors in hand, I cut open the hardened plastic. Why can’t toys be made this strong, I wondered? Then came the real work: ...

In recent months, my wife and kids have become hard-boiled egg fans. It makes sense: mild flavor, travels well and despite rising food prices, still one of the most affordable sources of protein. I, on the other hand, do not eat eggs because of past problems with high cholesterol. In fact, I credit ...

Exactly 15 years ago, I celebrated my 30th birthday with my first kidney stones. A horseback riding trip a few days earlier apparently dislodged several at once.
