World in my eyes
2015 turned out to be, in many ways, a repetition of 2010. At least when it comes to my experience then and now. Just as five years ago, my life consisted of two big parts – a very demanding project and an educational one, each equaling to about 6-7 months. It felt a just like meeting Sisyphus on his ways – both down and up.

Enigma turned 25 years old yesterday and launched Enigma Moments. The date marks the launch of the debut album “MCMXC a.D.” in 1990. Michael Cretu explains himself the project here.

Ello is the hype nowadays. The ad-free social network has just raised a $5.5 million venture capital funding aimed to help the company work on the backend architecture and offer less glitches when users try to login.
Am I oversimplifying it? Nope. Ello has been getting so much attention and has been growing in the tens of thousands for the past couple of weeks. People seem to be lured by the promise that their data will not be shared with anyone. It’s simply promised on the setting up account screen – “You are not a product.”
