Many of my friends think I hate Greece. It is true I am very tough on its people, businesses and government. I openly support the famous marbles from the Parthenon taken by Lord Elgin staying in the British Museum. I fully justified austerity measures as well deserved. I even downplayed the massive recent success of… Continue reading Time travel now available in Greece
Greece using Covid19 to leapfrog ahead!
This is no conspiracy theory. The Greek government has convinced everybody that they are doing an admirable job handling the pandemic. Or to be honest, it was much easier than others. We have no economy. Sending everyone home when half the population isn’t working anyway (as civil servants) is no big decision. Taking an aggressive… Continue reading Greece using Covid19 to leapfrog ahead!
How come flight attendants don’t get the virus?
My partner works for a major airline. They have tens of thousands of people that come into contact with travellers every day. Here are some aspects of flight attendants in particular that make them worthy of being examined for possible clues about the new coronavirus: 1. It is impossible for a flight attendant (FA) to… Continue reading How come flight attendants don’t get the virus?
Major scientific breakthrough on the virus from Greece
Did you know that contact with silver kills the coronavirus? In fact, according to most Greek priests, it kills all strands of the virus, even the new ones, even the ones we don’t know much about yet. Because the spoons used in communion are silver. 1+1=101 In case you haven’t visited a Greek church, Holy… Continue reading Major scientific breakthrough on the virus from Greece
I think Greta should cut her hair
No, I am not one of those that make fun of the girl. I admire her and fully support the effort. From a communications point of view, Greta Thunberg greatly helped both bring forward important issues and the idiots that oppose global warming initiatives with no valid scientific or logical counter-arguments. In fact, I have… Continue reading I think Greta should cut her hair
The end of Apple has begun (Forbes deleted this article)
Just take whatever the article says and add “oh, and somebody thought it would be a good idea to delete this article”. I wrote about how Google got revenge on Apple for their privacy initiative through the Pixel 3a some time ago. Here is what the original article said: “ The End of Apple Has… Continue reading The end of Apple has begun (Forbes deleted this article)
Thanos Dimadis: a media phenomenon
Twitter, Instagram and a variety of blogs yet I hadn’t ever noticed him. Apparently he was a journalist for AlphaTV or something. Which isn’t saying much. And then the Guardian expose stated that “multiple email communications from 2018 and 2019 detail the entwinement of two senior executives at Bayer’s US operations with a Greek journalist… Continue reading Thanos Dimadis: a media phenomenon
If you live in the UK, switch off Facebook for a few weeks
I have a Masters degree in Media, Communication and Society. Yet I have no exact data to give you about precisely how Facebook messes up our heads. But I know it is dangerous before a snap election. And you can’t win. So take a break. Facebook is evil. Those that try and bunch it with… Continue reading If you live in the UK, switch off Facebook for a few weeks
World Health solved (it is still noon)
Nope. Not yet. I will not buy a smartwatch. Not smart enough. Sure, if you like wearing a watch anyway, there are plenty choices that also measure things. It’s not that I am waiting for more sensors. Even with what is available today on a $30 smart band we should be getting more useful information.… Continue reading World Health solved (it is still noon)
World “adopt an iPhone user” day!
We all have blind spots. In technology, we get excited about them too very often. Opinionated. Most times it doesn’t matter. People buy what they want to buy and find ways to convince themselves it was a good choice. Especially if it costs more than a thousand bucks. My partner was an iPhone user. Not… Continue reading World “adopt an iPhone user” day!
