Ľudovít Ódor: Ekonómia z nadhľadu

Najskôr som nechcel o knihách, ktoré som v blízkej minulosti čítal, nič písať, len zverejniť názvy, aby bolo vidno, že viem čítať. Časom mi to nedalo a o niektorých knihách sa oplatí napísať zopár riadkov. Táto je jedna z nich.

Ekonómia je pre mňa záhadou a vôbec jej nerozumiem. Ľudia v tieto časy častokrát používajú také termíny z ekonómie a financií, ktorým možno ani sami nerozumejú. Ja im teda vo väčšine nerozumiem a čomu nerozumiem to ma obvykle priťahuje.

Túto knižku mi kúpila sestra na narodeniny a na moje želanie. Reklamu na ňu som videl na etrend.sk. Tam sa dá priamo objednať, ale mne sa nechcelo čakať a tak som si ju kúpil v Artfóre (10 % študentská zľava na ISIC, btw).

Písaná je veľmi pútavo a vtipne. Je poskladaná z veľa krátkych vačšinou jednostranných textov. Na druhej strane sú skvelé Shooty-ho ilustrácie. Texty sú dosť dobové (nie staré), teda sú tam časti o prechode na euro a viaceré vtedajšie či súčasné ekonomické problémy. Veľmi sa mi páčil štýl písania a druh humoru. Okrem autorových textov sa na knihe podieľajú aj ďalší "podkutí" autori.
Knihu som prečítal asi za 2 dni. Pravdupovediac mi to nestačilo, niektoré veci si musím ešte ujasniť a tak si ju chcem prečítať ešte raz. Na konci knihy sú veľmi dobré citáty od známych ľudí súvisiace s ekonómiou a odporúčaná literatúra pre ďalšie štúdium od autora + ekonomický slovník, ktorý je dobré si prečítať asi najkôr (môj prípad).

Zapamätal som si z knihy túto modelovú situáciu: traja podnikatelia začnú predávať vo svojich obchodoch topánky. Prvý si dá na obchod nápis: Najkvalitnejšie topánky. Druhý: Najlacnejšie topánky. Čo by mal urobiť tretí? Jedno z riešení nájdete v knihe a stojí za to, rovnako ako celá kniha za prečítanie.
4.5/5

iMac G3: Mac OS X 10.4.11

So my goal to install Mac OS X Tiger has come true. Firstly I needed Tiger on CD's and that was a big problem because you can buy Tiger mostly on DVD although there are also some CD versions but very expensive. But I was lucky because friend of my friend, Neuromanc, lent me this very rare 4-CD version. So thanks again :-). My iMac is not officially supported because it has no FireWire. But you can override this with software XPostFacto . I downloaded and installed the latest version so I could use it with Mac OS X 10.3 (the previous versions worked only with OS 9). I erased HDD entirely before the installation just to be sure. After first restart the installation continued from other CD's. The installation process took approximately one hour and ran without problem. After registration the update process started-up and took another hour or more. It was repeated several times ma inly due to Java updates. Then finally I could download software and this time the latest versions. I ...

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning w...

Thanksgiving in Auburn, upstate NY

Mia and I had hoped to spend our Thanksgiving with our families and friends, but this is 2020. First we were thinking about traveling South (e.g. Virginia), but the driving would be just too long for us. Then we thought about going North and we both agreed that the Finger Lakes region beckoned to be discovered by us. For this trip, Mia suggested bringing our road bikes and I just could not say no. We found a very affordable Airbnb in Auburn, upstate NY. Driving there was not that long (~4.5 hours) but because we were not in a hurry, we came to town in the evening - Thanksgiving evening. We naively thought that we could get dinner in town, so after we checked in our Airbnb, we drove downtown. Surprise, surprise - everything was closed. Luckily, Mia packed frozen gluten-free pizza, avocados, apples and other food so our Thanksgiving was saved! Our apartment had a stove, oven and microwave oven and we could prepare meals for the evening and for our whole stay in Auburn. Next day we chose ...
