Are they what they look like or do the photographers have such a sense of humor?

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Looking at the photographs in the newspapers makes me thinking of what is behind that photograph.

What is this all about?

Cycling through the city of Praha is often quite adventurous. Thanks to the car drivers.

Cycling = suicide

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:00:00 GMT

OKAY, the title is not just. Sometimes I just have such a feeling.

Impossible is nothing

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:00:00 GMT

The title has nothing to do with the sports gear producer. I just like that statement and now I see it's true. Unbelievable becomes true. Primal Scream are Fascists.

Is it that funny?

One of the famous buildings in Praha, Průmyslový palác (Industrial palace), a unique secession building which is the icon of the Praha's exhibition ground, has lost its left wing due to a huge fire on October the 16th. For the mayor of Praha Pavel Bém it is a topic to coze on.

Fake stem cells made in Czech Republic

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:00:00 GMT

Embryonic stem cells are the source of all the organs in human body (not only human). This gives the doctors the power to heal almost every disease. The problem is that to get those stem cells you need to kill the embryos. The Czech scientists now have a recipe for a workaround.

Sometimes I find something I consider quite usual to be very unique.

Smokers are weird...

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:00:00 GMT

...yet they are cohesive.

Prague is lacking of tourists

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:14:07 GMT

Because of the crisis, would be an ultimate reason. I always say Prague is the most beautiful city in the world and I always will. It has a special charm. It’s a romantic place. It has a lot of green inside. This all make the tourists to come here. On the other hand they only come once.

Safe live but don’t interfere!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:00:00 GMT

One can hardly believe how far human thoughtlessness canlead. In Karlovy Vary, the rescuers must be wary. Indeed, should not interfere.

Not silly but greedy

Facebook, the phenomenon

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:49:32 GMT

Why Facebook? Someone sees it as a place for making new friendships, other use it to share media, while others consider Facebook a bubble that will soon go down.These words begin article in this year September issue of the Czech mutation of Chip magazine. Let's leave aside the fact that the article acts as a PR and let me share with you my feelings.

20 years... we're FRREEE

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:33:01 GMT

Twenty years ago, I enjoyed the blissful ignorance and carefree childhood.
Twenty years ago, however, throughout the so-called Eastern Bloc something much larger was going on.
Twenty years ago in Poland were talks at round tables.
Twenty years ago the Berlin Wall fell down.
Twenty years ago we became free.

As a man I am naturally curious of course. So out of other things I also watch the keywords you entered in the search engine bringing you to my website. For many I am happy. Now I found one that amused me.

Pyramids surrounded by mystery

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:58:49 GMT

Yesterday a new tallest building in the world was officially opened. Except surprises it raises also some controversies. It also appeared as one of the issues for comment in yesterday Czech TV’s program Udalosti, komentare.

World on its knees

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:07:53 GMT

At least events on current eruption of Eyjafjallajökull Mountain give such sense. Due to the volcanic ash cloud that spread over large parts of Europe and the Atlantic Ocean nearly 100,000 flights was abolished.

Who is to blame?

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:39:21 GMT

Probably everyone living in the world affected by the civilization knows about the Greek's economic problems. Its balancing on the brink of state bankruptcy, spiced with scenes of protesting against the treatment of the Greek's spendthrift policies, is filling all possible media for some weeks. Now we know the culprit of this unfortunate situation.

Cat crawling through the hole?

Wed, 12 May 2010 12:42:56 GMT

The most famous and most important Czech music festival Prague spring starts today. Its 65th year is traditionally initiated by six of symphonic poems known as My Country (more literally My Fatherland) composed by the composer Bedřich Smetana, this time the implementation of the Prague Philharmonia conducted by Jakub Hrůša.

That is the Charles Bridge

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 10:27:44 GMT

In our capital city is a stone bridge since 14th century, built under the auspices of the then Emperor Charles IV. Richly fabled, endured many dangers, connecting Old Town with Lesser Town. Now works almost exclusively as a tourist attraction. A recent walk through it gave me quite a hard time mentally.

Weather for sale

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:16:23 GMT

Human ingenuity knows no boundaries really, the desire for many as well. We are therefore able to sell or buy literally anything.

I so do not like the Metro…

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:03:36 GMT

... Butthanks so much for it. One of Prague's subway car can carry about 250 people. Onetrain has 5 cars. So one train brings let's say 1200 people. They often gatherat the station from both directions at once. During the rush hour a thousandpeople swarm out of the train easily (assuming the half of passengers exit inthe exposed stations). And all these will create a crowd pouring through thetunnels to the surface or on another line. That is not any comfortabletraveling. Better tram ride nicely on the surface. The people are more easilyscattered after all.

Just for fun?

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:24:05 GMT

While watching yesterday's Czech Television’s program Události, komentáře I was wondering for a while if I misunderstood the date and we have the last day of the year already or first April.

The Right Way?

Wed, 15 Dec 2010 14:15:42 GMT

Again I go back to social networks, mainly represented by Facebook in our parts of the world. A view of David Mencl just on Facebook appeared in the 47/2010 issue of the Ekonom magazine in the Sloupky manažerů section. He begins by the same look at the social networks as mine. I don’t understand people who have the need to give to public through that network all the, even the finest, details of their lives. I also don’t understand the people who have the need to inform the world on each of their farts. David Mencl, however, concluded that’s a way of communicating with his children.

Clarke hit?

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:25:12 GMT

Sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke gave in 2001 a forecast that space airplanes for commercial purposes will apply from 2012. It's right a decade from this forecast and just one year from that new form of tourism. Can we make it?

Jak se stahuje výpověď?

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 12:55:56 GMT

Ke konci loňského roku začali doktoři realizovat své hrozby podání hromadných výpovědí, aby tak vytvořili tlak na českou vládu a ta jim dala, po čem touží. Při zhlédnutí 13 důvodů na stránkách výzvy Děkujeme, odcházíme by jeden i našel důvod k porozumění. České zdravotnictví potřebuje skutečně účinnou ozdravnou kůru. Mediálně nejvděčnější je samozřejmě 5. bod hovořící o nízkých platech. Ponechám raději stranou řeči o náročnosti povolání, potřebě vzdělání a prestiži. Jsem vcelku zdravý člověk a nemusím se s lékaři, naštěstí, přít o jejich přístup ke mně jako pacientovi. Nebo lépe klientovi, kterým v českém zdravotnictví být však nemůžu.
