Easter Eggs

Everybody knows (I suppose) the famous Easter Eggs, pieces of software that, especially in the 90â€™s, some witty developers placed well hidden into Office Suite best components. W95 office programs were full of them, and most of us started to understand why W95 crashed so often and why it needs too much memory to run. […]

What's in a word? The Business Card

It’s hard to define a “good” business card. It’s a matter of words, terms, they need to be right placed and right spelled in order to puzzle people about your role and personality…or not?
