I’m a creative person. I don’t paint with paint, but IT systems are my canvas. And I find creative solutions to complex IT challenges. Today I found the very creative solution by Doug Dietz.
See his creative and beautiful solution at 6 min 20 of this nice TED talk of David Kelly.

Today I found a website from a young woman who really found her destiny. Only 23 years old and with very limited resource she setup a orphan refugee in Nepal.

Maggie is a young entrepreneur how really deserves my respect.
