Leonard Cohen in concert

September 22nd, 2008 by Alyna

An amazing show I was truly waiting for.  Leonard Cohen has finally came to Bucharest. I’ve been to the concert last night.

He was brilliant, at 74 years old, he is really impressing. He sang for 2 and a half hours and has put a memorable show. The crowd was also very impressing, they sang Happy Birthday to him, since yesterday was also his birthday.

These are images taken from the concert. Unfortunately they are not mine. Since I couldn’t take my camera. The copyright belongs to Karina Knapek, Bogdan Iurascu and Dragos Stoica from Jurnalul National.

And here is a beautiful fragment from youtube:

500 years since the first printed book

September 20th, 2008 by Alyna

Liturghierul lui Macarie 1508Today we celebrate 500 years since the first book was printed in Romania, with a Johannes Gutenberg printing press. The book was the Missal of Macarie (or in Romanian “Liturghierul lui Macarie”). This was the first Missal printed by the Orthodox Churches.

We also celebrate 320 years since the first print of the “Bucharest Bible” and 150 years since the printing of “Sibiu Biblie” by Andrei  Saguna, the mitropolit of Transilvania.

Tom Fishburne and Brand Camp

September 18th, 2008 by Alyna

I was just browsing the other day and I have stumbled upon Tom Fishburne’s website. Tom is a cartoonist who works in marketing. He started Brand Camp in 2002, which has grown by word of mouth to reach thousands of marketers each week and appears regularly in bogs, web sites and publications such as Brandweek, Market Leader and Asian Wall Street Journal.

I really enjoyed his cartoons, which are brisk and full of passion for the marketing media.

Here are my favorite ones.

Google starts audio indexing

September 17th, 2008 by Alyna

Google has just launched a new feature: Audio Indexing. I believe it’s pretty because there are just a few videos there (not audios though) just related to politics. But it is a beginning and I cannot wait to get relevant videos and audios on my favorite content.
