About nassosdim

Driven by passion and my obsession for lateral and critical thinking I now seek a career change. I'm enthusiastic, self-motivated and ambitious geek and I always look for ways to improve my skills and my way of thinking.

I love technology, social media and working with open web standards. I like to keep my mind as open as possible.

    I hope that was just a matter of preference for me but having enough eye floaters, I find myself suffering less while working with darker backgrounds.

    A few days ago I decided to pick up a bash book from O'reilly and, truth be told, the guys in a room in Freenode knew how to help me in any question I made, no matter how silly I m…

    I agree with you and what really takes the cake away from taking their research as reliable and valid is not only that they skimmed over any kind of educational background and prog…

    This is exactly what Sal, the founder of Khan Academy, believes. What strengthens this argument is that, if you miss a few logical steps you end up even more baffled when you encou…
