- Today’s exploration: Beauty
“In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one’s own existence.” [article, video]
- Quote: On Teams
“I enjoy a working environment where the word ‘team’ is uttered in derision, and view the process of team or community as a result of mutual respect and enlightened self interest as opposed to a management method where fuzzy feelings are elicited to get the benefits and delegate the blame.” (comment by dkite on LWN article)
- Skype wows
Calling to Greek landline phones (both in-town and country-wide) is cheaper with Skype than Forthnet. Yay for N900 handling all my local calls then.
- Greetings.
“To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free. From the Age of Big Brother, from the Age of the Thought Police, from a dead man… greetings.” (1984)
- Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard
“Scissors cuts Paper covers Rock crushes Lizard poisons Spock smashes Scissors decapitates Lizard eats Paper disproves Spock vaporizes Rock crushes Scissors.” (via @mperedim)

Quote
The most important piece of advice I can give you on the path to happiness, is not just be yourself, but be your weird self. It takes too much energy to be other than your weird self. We spend so much of our lives living up to the expectations of others.
It’s our collection of screw ups, stories and idiosyncrasies, that make us weird and interesting. Weirdness is why we adore our friends. Weirdness is what binds us to our colleagues. Weirdness is what sets us apart and gets us hired. Be your unapologetic weird selves.

Quote
I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face like some rhino hunters I know or Belmonte, who is truly brave, it is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds. Until it returns, as it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again.
— Ernest Hemingway from Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris"

Blog temporarily off
I now blog on miniblog.glezos.com and tweet regularly at @glezos.
Oh, and for those living under a rock, I now work on my startup, Transifex. I blog there too.
Apologies for not updating this for so long. See you on the above links for now!

There is no opponent. Because the word "I" does not exist.
A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.
