Zna li majka najbolje?
Argument kako majka najbolje zna što je dobro za njeno dijete snažan je. On, doduše, nije snažan u logici ili u faktima, ali je iznimno emocionalno snažan, i to ga čini moćnim – toliko moćnim da je u stanju ušutkati sugovornika u gotovo svakoj situaciji, pa čak i cijelom društvu nametnuti majčin stav kao...

G+ users migrating to MeWe?
I’ve just found that seemingly a large number of G+ users, facing the digital axing of the social network, are migrating to MeWe. There’s a word going around that they might even get a tool to easily migrate their exported G+ data to the new social site. Let’s see how this turns out. I’ve created... Read More
Tenerife – some industrial photography
Like the architecture, industrial photography has its own subset of rules and takes time and practice to perfect. Unlike the nature photography, industrial photography is often dominated by geometry and straight lines that demand respectful place in the frame. On the other hand, the interplay of light and shadow can be interesting. Zooming in reveals... Read More
Tenerife – Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín
I’ve grown up among the great big socialist buildings, grey and practical. No material to waste, no unnecessary decoration. In return for living in high rise grey buildings, we had big and nice parks, so it wasn’t all that bad. Yet I always felt like the art does not belong to living quarters, it was... Read More
Tenerife – let’s make the trees comfortable
I’m changing my travel posts: instead of doling out one photo at the time as it was effective on G+ (and led me to over 39.000 followers at the peak of my popularity there – sadly, I never reached 40K), I will group several photos in one post. I’ll try to keep the posts relatively... Read More
Momo izazov, ili zašto roditelji ne bi trebali djeci dozvoljavati da bez nadzora gledaju crtiće online
Da na on-line svijetu postoji zbilja svašta već odavno znamo, kao što već dugo znamo da je Internet pravi e-divlji zapad. Svašta se tamo nađe, mnoštvo pametnih i dobrih stvari, ali i boleština svakakvih. Uostalom, svatko tko je ikad čitao komentare ispod vijesti na domaćim portalima zna da to nije mjesto za osjetljive (ili normalne).... Read More
Tenerife 7
The inside of the market is full of small shops offering variety of goods. At the moment we were visiting the place, there weren’t too many people around, but it still felt busy. It isn’t that big; it is relatively small, well laid-out and colourful – and nicely clean. There are benches, a sunny middle... Read More

La Recova de Tenerife is not an ancient market. It was opened in 1943. and was thriving for several decades, when the introduction of big merchants and, later on, big retailers significantly undermined the popularity of the place. After it was nearly abandoned by the city officials, it reinvented itself as a self-managing co-operative. The... Read More
Tenerife 5
Barranco de Santos is a dry riverbed going straight through the urban centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It was dry at the time I took the picture, but you might have guessed that it is prone to flash flooding due to the hefty width of its channel. While the riverbed is usually dry, the... Read More
Podcasts I like: The History of Egypt by Dominic Perry
Listening to podcasts is a great way to make your daily commute easier. I’ve been listening to podcasts for some time now, although I am a latecomer: podcasts are “old things” now. By listening to admittedly small number of them, I can say that some are great, some are just good, and from some I’ve... Read More
