One of the best career advices I ever got was the question: Are you adding new projects to your resume on a 6 month interval basis you can call as career changing? With today’s announcement of Bitdefender‘s partnership with Scuderia Ferrari F1 team, not only a dream comes true, also the end of a long […]

While I’m watching the World Series of Baseball for the last couple of nights between the Chicago Cubs & the Cleveland Indians, I can’t help my mind to wonder off to my teenage years when I had the movie Major League on VHS tape. I watched that movie so many times, that the characters from […]
