This is The End (2013)

This is was one of the my most anticipated movie for 2013. We had great action movies, great thrillers and some good horror stories, but there weren't many comedies that could actually make you laugh. But as soon as I saw the first trailer, I knew it would be worth watching. You have some of the best young comedians all together in one film. What's not to like?



Not everyone is a fan of Seth Rogen or Jonah Hill, I get it. But this is quite different. They always play themselves in a way - people who like to get high, drink all night and have wild parties. Tell me one movie with one of those actors not about that (except Franco, he is in a different category). And here is the difference - this time they are actually playing themselves (or an alternative version). Just like Neil Patrick Harris in Harold & Kumar (there will be a new one).

How to Do Anything

The world has changed since the Internet has become part of everyday life. It used to be hard to browse around - using a dial-up connection, waiting for minutes to open a single picture of Pamela Anderson. Now you can download a movie in less than 5 minutes (*cough* legally of course). This has improved our lives significantly. But the biggest plus of the internet is the free knowledge. If you don't know how to do something, just type it in Google and you will find the answer. 

That's why I love How To videos. I've learned how to tie a tie, how to cook, how to fix my air conditioner, how to set a VCR's clock (I don't use a VCR, but I've always wanted to learn that). Recently I discovered a YouTube channel that completely changed the ways of How-To guides. It gives you answers to questions you have never even dared to ask. I have learned so much and my thirst for knowledge is becoming even more insatiable.

The Importance of OnSite Optimization.

OnSite Optimization is a very important part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Many people concentrate on link building, on link baiting and other important techniques. They are all significant for your product, but links are not the only thing you have to worry about. For a SEO to succeed in his target, he needs a good website to offer.


This is where OnSite Optimization comes. Your usual target is to put a page in the top 10 (or even on number one spot) list of sites in the search engine result page (SERP). To start doing that, you need to offer a good product to the audience. No matter how good links you are building, in the best directories possible, with the highest PageRank and the biggest Trust Flow, it just won't work until you have done your Onsite.

With the help of some reliable sources (Moz, Search Engine Journal) and personal experience, I created a useful guide on Onsite Optimization for beginners.

3D Printing is the Future of Home Décor

3D printing is a process of fabricating objects that have been digitally designed on a computer, or from a scan of an existing object. During the printing process, thin layers of material are built up to create a three-dimensional object. It is possible to create objects using various materials such as plastic, ceramic, metal, and glass.

This technology is perfect for design enthusiasts. It is now possible to design an object and go to your local digital fabrication provider to get it printed, or you could make the investment to buy your own equipment. Artists and designers have understood the possibilities of 3D printing in the creation and manufacture of home décor.

Décor on demand is often inspired by geometric and organic patterns. 3D printing allows designers to create perfect and intricate configurations that resemble leaf skeletons, snowflakes, and angular geometric shapes.

The Soundtracks You Need for Work

Working in front of a computer could be quite dull. Sitting for eight hours (or even more), staring at the monitor and trying to concentrate just to write a few words. It is specially annoying when you work in an office. You have 30 other people around you, all clicking on the keyboards, making their small irritating noises. And when you are working as a writer you just need a way to isolate yourself from the environment. Or you might just need some inspiration.

The thing that helps me most is music. But not just any type of music - soundtracks. Other music could be quite distracting.

Video Game Music

I decided to split the list in to two - movies and video games. Just for your convenience.

Euro Trip

I am back from my little vacation. Ten days around some beautiful cities and it wasn't enough. This is my way of understanding the theory of relativity - time is not a constant and it moves in different ways, depending on the situation. I've been working for two hours, but it seems like much more and on the other hand twelve hours in Vienna are like two regular hours.

It's wonderful to travel. Meeting people from other countries, learning about their history, seeing all the various architectural styles. It's amazing. Many people prefer to spend their vacations lying in bed or on some beach, doing nothing. That's not the way for me.
