Romeo și Julieta – Teatrul Național de Operetă și Musical Ion Dacian
I’ve seen Romeo și Julieta – Teatrul Național de Operetă și Musical Ion Dacian.
Thoughts?
- Visually, quite a show! Costumes, various objects on the scene, and lights. I enjoyed it.
- The music was OK. I don’t have any songs that I liked in particular, but they were OK.
- I especially liked Father/Părintele Lorenzo – Florin Ganea.
- Most actors played well, I don’t have any complaints.
- I felt good at the event.
- Do I recommend it? Wholeheartedly.
CALLEA
It looks like a predestined name:
CALLAS
PELLEA
Just by looking at these two names, you see similarities.
I’ve seen CALLAS – OANA PELLEA | Opera Națională București.
Like in Saving Mr. Banks (2013), in the first part of the performance the main character is very rigid and strict.
In the second part, emotions arise.
I enjoyed the play.
Do I recommend it? Yes, I do. I don’t think it’s extraordinary, but it’s higher than average.
I liked the interpretation of Maria Callas: Oana Pellea – invitată.
Also, I liked Tony: Alexandru Nagy – invitat.
I enjoyed it.
Interpreți:
Maria Callas: Oana Pellea – invitată
Sophie: Ana Stamate – invitată
Tony: Alexandru Nagy – invitat
Sharon: Cătălina Sima
Manny: Alexandru Burcă – invitat
Mașinistul: Adrian Ban – invitat
Next subway
I notice that on the Bucharest subway, the timings until the arrival of the next train don’t always correspond.
That’s a bit of a shame.
Auto Shazam
I agree with this assertion:
„Just gotta say the auto-shazam is such an underrated feature.”
What does it do?
Let’s say you go to an event like a party where there is lots of music, or you go out to a cafe and there is music, or you go to a theater play (note – this might not adhere to the theater’s rules). You just hit Auto Shazam, and at the end of the event, you have a list of the songs that played during that time.
How do you use it?
- Open the Shazam app.
- Tap and hold the Shazam button on the screen.
If you have an iPhone, you can long-press the app on the main screen.
AI and human jobs
(I got this idea from a recent GPeC conference)
Regarding the topic of AI’s influence on jobs, marketing can, in simple terms, be divided into three categories:
- (takes little time and effort) The creative side (strategy and ideation);
- (takes more time and effort) Production and analysis (which support the creative side);
- Marketing technology and operational marketing.
AI will simplify the Production and Analysis part. Yes, there will be people who lose their jobs.
But what will companies do with the savings, given that every player in the market will have access to the cost reductions in category b.?
Smart companies will take those resources and invest them in a. and/or c.
That’s why you should be optimistic about the future of marketing and AI.

You can work from anywhere! Everywhere is a good working space
I think that the assertion: „You work with the Internet, therefore you can work from anywhere!” is only half-true.
Allow me to explain myself.
There are three major ways of working online:
- From a mobile phone; (a tablet is generally similar to this, although closer to a laptop)
- From a laptop;
- From a desktop computer; (it can run different operating systems – Linux/Windows/MacOS)
Generally, on a mobile phone you can do communication and basic browsing. You don’t have all the features of a desktop browser, and you are also unproductive. Working with Word documents or Excel files, while not 100% impossible, is difficult.
Procedures
I recently went to a large entity to help with software/hardware issues, although this is far from my first specialization.
Someone, at some point, bought a printer for the entity and made it work for a computer, then another.
Someone else bought another printer and made it work for a couple of computers.
Yet, I am almost certain that there have been issues with connectivity on the new computers.
The people who initially installed the printers left no written procedures.
How do you install another printer?
The computers I worked on had almost always the same issue: how do I install the printer?
No one from the original IT team left a written procedure on how to solve this.
Nicolae-Iordache Iordache has written about procedures and written documentation for doctors.
Computer doctors also need to create procedures and written documentation.
Carpooling
„Carpooling is the concept of sharing your car to accommodate more than one person at a time, eliminating the need for riders to drive themselves in separate vehicles.” – Liftango | What is Carpooling?
Self-driving cars are going to be a huge transformational disruption, and they’re probably going to happen faster than most people expect.
…
Starting in cities, starting with car-sharing, the economics and safety implications are too big to avoid:
…
* Instant and efficient carpooling, since the car knows who’s going where
I’m surprised that this hasn’t happened yet.
We have Bolt, we have Uber, we have people paying for a new form of taxis.
Yet, I see almost no one carpooling.
There are options:
Carpool & Bus Travel Deals | BlaBlaCar:
No matter where you’re going, by bus or carpool, find the perfect ride from our wide range of destinations and routes at low prices.
Yet, these seem to be much less popular than Uber/Bolt.
Hopefully, with self-driving cars, carpooling will rise (from almost zero, I dare presume).
