Million Euro Solution

The colossal project for which I currently work for in Kobenhavn encompasses several platforms for which certain milestones and payments are due. The system on the platform for which my team and I are working on, is up and running well, and is considered the model for the other platforms. Yet, for some reason, the other platforms have not had their full system working properly for now two months, thus blocking any kind of payment. Numerous experts and other competent people have attempted to fix this problem. Noticed how I used the word attempted? That's because so far no one has succeeded to solve this enigmatic problem that is causing so many headaches, stress, and sleepless nights to so many managers.

Like any good superhero in the movies, I took upon myself the challenge to do the impossible and find the million euro solution. After several days of analyzing and investigating, and learning upon other people's trials and errors, my colleagues and I finally found the million euro solution to the little bug that's been bugging everyone. After having two absolutely gorgeous Danish women smile at me this week in Kobenhavn, I knew something special would happen, especially on Friday the 13th! I can tell you one thing, the blood pressure of alot people finally dropped! Yes Thomas Edison! You are absolutely right! We should never be discouraged, for every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward to finding solutions for today's and tomorrow's problems!

Chaul Chnam Thmey

Chaul Chnam Thmey, as they say in Khmer, is the Cambodian New Year from April 13th to April 15th. It represents the end of the harvesting season for the farmers, who take the time to enjoy the fruits of their labor before the start of the raining season. Happy Cambodian New Year to all! May prosperity be with you!

Silver Surfer

When I first saw the movie trailer for the sequel of the Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer, I was at awe at the sight of seeing the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer has always been one of my favorite comic book characters growing up. With a simple designed armor, coated in silver and a surfing board to travel in space at the speed of light, the Silver Surfer puts the cool in the word coolness.

Unlike so many super heroes before him, the Silver Surfer's special abilities did not come at birth, nor through mutation or any accidental event. Rather, they come from a choice of responsibility and morality. In order to save his home planet Zenn La from Galactus, the devourer of planets, Norin Radd sacrificed himself for the good and the sake of the ones he cherish and love so much. By serving Galactus as a herald, Norin Radd became the Silver Surfer with cosmic powers, and prevented his planet from being destroyed.

Every once in a while, people in their lives must take responsibility and sacrifice for their love ones. It is almost a universal condition in mankind. Whether it be the parents working a dead-end job to make ends meet in order to support their children, alot of people can relate to the Silver Surfer's sacrifice and responsibilities one way or another. As best said in the Spiderman comic book, "With great power, comes great responsibilties." With his great powers, we come to see the Silver Surfer evolve with even greater responsibilties.

1/2 empty or 1/2 full?

Is this glass of water 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? In everything we may see, encounter, and experience in our everyday life, it is easy to criticize and see the negative aspects in any given situation or person. With so much negativy that we see on TV everyday, like Jack Johnson, I also ask myself "Where did all the good people go?" What distingishes many artists and good photographers around the world, is their talent for finding creativity and beauty in everything all around us, even in the simplest things in life. It is a talent that can be learned by just about any good soul on this heavenly planet. So like an artist or photographer, if people can learn to focus and find more positive issues or attributes in today's world, we'd see this glass of water as 1/2 full rather than 1/2 empty.
