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...

... Shenandoah River

“Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River”   John Denver: Take Me Home, Country Roads Shenandoah National Park is relatively close to NYC. It was May and we already knew that we were moving to Boston at the beginning of June. We only had a couple of weeks to visit this park by car since the distance from Boston would be too ... distant. Sure, there was a lot to pack and do but the mountains simply couldn’t wait. We hit the road early in the morning on May 22nd. The visit of West Virginia was not optional. We made a stop at Harpers Ferry.  We had dinner at a restaurant along the river and of course we made a quick stop at the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center (unfortunately it was closed due to COVID). Harpers Ferry was a beautiful quintessential small town with historical landmarks. At the end of the day we built our tent in Low-Water Bridge Campground . The Shenandoah river was flowing right next to our tent but we were so tired that we did not end...
