Life is a game of patterns and chance, and those who play well will win. Shonzilla is a pattern-seeking animal living in a peaceful neighborhood of a cemetery in Belgrade, Serbia. An über-geek for IT, music and sports. He can’t help it. Software engineering is my thing, but I fiddle here with other topics as well.

Anyway, a great moment for Serbian swimming (first Serbian medal) and even greater for the history of swimming and Olympic sport as Phelps equaled Mark Spitz’s record with 7 Olympics golds. With a 4*100 medley relay race tomorrow, he’s almost sure to break the Mark Spitz’s best ever record of 7 golds and to equal 7 world records.</p> <p>[via <a href="http://youtube.com/user/drake2919" target="_blank">drake2919</a>]</p>http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/46173044http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/46173044Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:23:00 +0200swimmingvideoYouTubeolympics2008BeijingPhelpsCavicphotofinishNote to self: never ever leave a yoghurt to sleep over outside the fridge, especially not on the...http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/45998746http://shonzilla.tumblr.com/post/45998746Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:22:14 +0200Alarm clock didn’t wake me up… 3rd time in a row.
