Happy New Year!

As a result of a stupid car accident, a 17-year-old girl died in Chisinau last night. Apparently, the young driver tried to show off himself and even though there’s no official statement about it, I believe the guy was drunk…

In any man who dies there dies with him
his first snow and kiss and fight….
Not people die but worlds die in them.
~Yevgeny Yevtushenko, “People”

A person died. A family was destroyed.

Drive carefully.

Guess what, AdWords banned me. Here’s the email I received:

The reason the ads were disapproved is because the display URL isn’t the same as the destination URL . -Tried to talk to them: got a single reply basically telling “please don’t contact our support again”.
