Last night Sali and I watched Australian Open Finals and a very nice game between Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova.

This was a fun game to watch. I, of course, love Ana and was cheering like crazy for her to win, and Sali - being a good Russian girl she is - was cheering for her Maria

Ana lost, but it’s all right. She is getting better and better with every match she plays. She is going to be #1 this year I am sure of it! Ana, if you can hear: YOU CAN DO IT [and you know it]

Oh, also, even though I do not care much about men’s tennis, Federer “got SERBED” HAHAAHAHA - Go Djokovic! It’d be great to see him win the Australian Open!

This new year (2008), got off to a very strong start for me. I’m being quite busy with current projects. Clickapost.com is almost ready for the first public beta and ACI is requiring some upgrades to the Grants Administration system I created for them.

While all this is great, I wish I had some more time for writing on my blogs. This one in particular since for many people it’s the only source of information about me :). Sorry guys, phone and emails are swamped with work-related stuff that I cannot even make it through to read all of other emails I get

Other blogs are suffering too though; I just started the NeedToKnowBlog.com and I already do not have enough time to write the articles. I guess after some time it will live up, but for now - it’s slow.

I did have time to write a nice little review of MacBook Air. I was sincerely looking forward to a new Apple notebook and I had no idea what disappointment I was going into while watching the Keynote this year. Dammit Apple! At least the stock price is back where it belongs: $130… with this kind of product, you really do not deserve $200 - at least not know.

Hopefully next year brings us a Real MacBook Air (Take 2), with FireWire, faster drives, ExpressCard, etc… Then, maybe, I’ll buy it - for now - MacBook Pro is the Law as they would say in my country [zakon ;)]

Cheers!

The other day while I was in the shower (where I usually get crazy ideas, especially the ones that involve buying another domain name), I decided to create another blog which will provide everyone with information about the best stuff on the Internet.

Over there, you will find links and blog posts about the best of the best. From on-line shopping, to gadgets, to tutorial sites: I will cover every single aspect and provide the visitors with the tips, links and more information. No more need to search around!

Also, I will use it to explain the basic things most newcomers to the On-line world should know, from choosing an email address, to what blogs are, how to create your own blog, what RSS feeds are, and more… It should be a great source of information for all, especially the elderly who wish to learn more

Head over to NeedToKnowBlog.com and check it out…

If you are interested in a bunch of medical stuff, my lovely Sali has a blog of her own @ EasilyForgotten.info

From CES 2008 Keynote (well, before the Keynote) "Bill Gate’s last day at Microsoft":

Ah, the moment I started typing the title a little figurine of Penguin fall of the top of my iMac screen; therefore, resolutions will start with a new first item:

1. Paste the penguin figurine to the top of the iMac so it does not fall anymore
2. Go to bed earlier and wake up earlier … (this seems to work already, went to sleep at 11pm, woke up at 5:30am today, yes!)
3. Follow the work schedule so you can have time for personal projects AND social life
4. Get out of that chair from time to time
5. Take the midday breaks, walk around, do banking, go to the store, etc.
6. Workout on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and walk with Sali on Tuesdays and Thursdays
7. Sell all the junk you do not need on eBay
8. GOTO 1 = Follow the Resolutions!

Happy New Year!
