Deep blue sky - article, 2006. Top of the page
The plane flew up with a loud engine roar. While the thin metal bird was ascending towards the skies, figures of people left down on the airport ground were rapidly shrinking. I felt a bit anxious about the whole thing. "I guess this is it, there is no turning back now" – I thought and laughed... READ MORE

Cheating Google - article, 2006. Top of the page
Cheating Google. I bet that there isn't a web designer who hasn't looked for ways to "boost" his web site's page rank. In fact, there are ways you can engineer an artificially high position on Google search engine, but only for a while. When Google bots "notice" you're fooling them, your site will disappear from...

Sky giants - hot air balloons - article, 2006. Top of the page
Balloons are huge and beautiful. They can come in all sorts and shapes, ranging from an ordinary ball to a flying dinosaur.
In the beginning you have one large sack, a basket, burner and some additional equipment. It all fits in a relatively small space, like one found in a wan, which is big enough for both the balloon and the team. When you arrive... READ MORE

Tillmann Waldthaler - interview, 2005. Top of the page

Cannondale P-bone - review and modification, 2004. Top of the page
P-bone is an extraordinary product, extremely sturdy in design.

FSA Orbit Extreme Pro headset - review, 2004. Top of the page
A year had passed, since I had bought and installed this particular headset on my bike. I gathered that the time is right for me to finally write a review of what has got to be the best headset one could possibly buy.

Ticks are parasites that live on a host organism, and which can infect that host organism with a number of different diseases. A man or any other higher mammal (such as a dog, a cat or a cow) can serve as a host to a tick.
This article is somewhat of experimental nature. It is based upon my personal experience dealing with ticks (I have a rather furry dog which acts like... READ MORE

It all started very long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away...)
One day I got tired of waiting to gather the money to buy all the bike parts I needed to build a bike so I decided to buy one complete bike (an older LX model) and then mix and match the parts I needed. So there I was having... READ MORE

235 - story, 1997. Top of the page
Sitting in a corner behind glass, trapped like an animal, was Nr.235. All that was left of a once good looking girl was a deformed mass barely recognizable as human. She didn't know how or why.
