Big Apple

Everybody has a idea to have/make/gain much more money in their life. However we are lack of something to make it real. I think we are lack of resources, It might be human resources, capital resources or right time or right place to start. I think NYC is the best place to open a small restaurant (any store). However I do not have money. :) Being rich is the right combination of all these resources come together and use it proper way I think. You cannot be rich if the people around you are poor. Buying a gas station is another common idea to make money or running a laundry store. (But laundry business is really frustrating business.) I generally think the ratio of your effort and your money you are making when discussing being entrepreneur. If it is close to zero, you did it. You can be called a great and successful entrepreneur in your business. (The money you are making in the business must afford your whole living cost, otherwise you cannot) My software developmen...

It is getting small with technologies we use everyday. Image a second. I was having video chat with one of my friends in Baku I was posting photo to one of social media app named Instagram and my brother liked it in Istanbul I am living in New York City. What the heck!!! Even if ancient kings have the greatest powers on the earth at their time, They were powerless about the distance of places. A single messenger have taken miles in a very long time. What about now?  

Snowing in NYC, I really hate cold, I hate everything about it. Maybe there are benefits I could not figure it out yet. It does not change how I think about it. I have it. :)

The questions about going back is in my brain all the time once I came to USA, New York City. It was really great experience for me to live in that city. The city, I think it is the peak of west civilizations right now, is the city millions of people want to live or even make a trip to see it. However you used to live in here as you used to live in everywhere even if you came from one of the worst place on the earth. The questions about going back raised in my brain again once one of best friends offered a position with a good salary in Turkey, Istanbul. What will happen when I go back? What will I gain beside money in there? What will I lose in here if I give up the green card? What kind of occasions am I not aware of right now? What does the US citizen mean for me or what are the benefits of being USA citizen even if you do not want to live in USA whole your life? What, What, What? Lets think together not to make a wrong decision. Take your time. Why did I c...

"Welcome to board" said one of employers in my previous company located in Long Island, Lynbrook. I think he is Chinese origin. It was really hard to adapt the environment first, not place I am talking about. The way that how business works and how they behave each other. It was a very small company, 5-7 people was working over there. And I was only one who are immigrant, everybody has perfect English naturally. It was really hard to talk, explain yourself in your second language. You felt stuck in your brain and mouth. Your brain wants to tell everything, explain every phase of your project challenges However your mouth, tongue (which is controlled by your brain, I know) is stuck, the words, the sentences does not come up from your mouth, tongue. And then it is the time you screw up. Think a second, you are one of the greatest software developer on the earth however You are struggling to explain even simple things going on inside your project. So why ...

First one you can realize easily is its universities. Second one is its public libraries, they are awesome. Third one is its great different communities, coming from different cultures. Fourth one is its business power, lots of headquarters of big companies, lots of startup companies, millions fashions stores and restaurants, the biggest stock market, endless different stores of different nations and off course its famous pizza stores. And bars, entertainment places you can hook up. Fifth one is its great parks, most famous one you know is Central park. Sixth one is the culture of diversity, melting pot culture. Seventh one is the money coming from millions of tourist all over the world to here for every seasons, especially summer. Eighth one is its subway system which is really useful. Ninth one is its fame. Who does not know NYC today on the earth? Tenth one is me :) . It is really luck to have me :) The priorities of them can be varied depends on different perspe...

I got the one of greatest offer of my life from a brother. He is great person and I think the great doctor as well. I have to wait and see right now. To think beyond the offer about things what it will bring to my life. I should consult my friends, my family. Let's see and wait a little. You know what they says about quick decisions in Turkish culture. Quick decisions are participated by devil.  ;) Did you wonder what it is by the way? It is the decision that will affect to stay in USA forever  or  to go back to Turkey one day?

I am really beginning to love it while learning its new features of Mac OSX Maverick They says it is most advanced OS system ever. They might be right. It was really hard and frustating to adapt its environment. I will decide it once I used it more than one year. I think it is worth to buy, new OS, new world.

From NYC to Philadelphia under heavy rain with a really old, used car.. It was raining cats and dogs all whole day from sunrise to sunset. We were three people and I was sitting at the behind. The worst thing about going to somewhere is your device of GPS. GPS device is really suck. It is not working on the time. Once you arrive the intersection of road, we were looking at the GPS to understand which route we need to follow. Guess what? It is not displaying the route at right time we have to decide. And then we were entering the wrong routes. We have been driving twelve hours and all our time was spent to our wrong routes because of our GPS device. I think it was TomTom GPS, Let me give you an advice about GPS technology. It is really a tech revolution to drive however but buy the latest GPS tech not to spend so much time on the wrong routes.

Can you image how interesting thing is being alone in one of greatest and craziest city on the entire west civilization? It really sucks :) Sometimes you really hate couples once you realize or see them in the streets of NYC when you are feeling jealous. :) Sometimes you really love to see them. Actually it is based on your mood of day. And I realized very interesting thing about being alone. You are doing stupid thing, non rational behaviours to cover or to fill up that feeling. I bought a game named Lumosity which is brain-training game. I bought different jewelleries for myself but never used them so far. I killed some money for the books which are advice books of Bill Gates, from its blog but did not finish it yet. However lets do justice to it. You are free, nobody and no one wants to change you or interrupt your talks, no obligation to be done, no responsiblity to remember special days. :) I still love and hate about being alone. Cool.

One of greatest city on the earth is I think here, NYC. It is really melting pot, thousands different cultures in a single city. The population of NYC is almost 8 or 9 million but 50 million tourists are visiting here. Every crazy entertainment you can have, image, dream or live in NYC. Sunday nights and saturday nights.. Sometimes I really forget how people can be so mad about having good time! But you cannot be a part of these entertainments. Why? Because you are Muslim. The only entertainment you can have is inside of circle of halal. Does it really matter to live in here then? Who is going to ask me why you are doing there then?

From switching Windows OS to Macbook Pro Maverick is really frustrating. You are familiar every part of Windows if you are developer guy, or you are long term user. And then everything is changed. It is like a cultural revolution. You cannot recognize yourself, your knowledge, your history. You fell like you are in the middle of desert. After one or two days, you begin to want to take Windows back, you were the king there. But machine is really slim, has a beautiful design and you fell it is a like product of artist. Maybe you might think like that because you spend a really great money as well as you can buy twice PCs with it. SO you are just trying to calm down yourself, If I gave that money, it would be better, right? It is Apple. Number one IT company on the earth. Apple says it is most advanced OS ever. I know it is advertisement but they might be right, who knows? I learned a few touchpad gestures today. It is really incredible, There is no need to use mouse an...

What kind of system do we have right now? It is like a slave system which is chosen by free humankind. Once upon time, we really were free humankind. We were planting, raising all our food ourself as well as  the amount of our needs. We were living together, sharing our stuff even if it is our work. We were cooperating together to get the life easier. But then, For the greedy souls of our, we decided to make change in our life. It is a change little by little at every decade. We did not understand at the first place where we are going to, what we will obtain and lose. And it takes too much time to understand what we lost. We lost our humanity and obtain a new system. It is new era of humankind. It is kapitalizm era. And you have to work, have to go to work every weekdays To pay you bills, rents, your food expense, from you heating, cleaning to your trip expenses. And all you can image is based on the money you have. And new generations are competing ea...

I do not know maybe it has nothing real a good benefits to my health directly but I try to drink the green tea regularly. It has a very bad taste. You should add some honey and maybe lemon a little . So it can be more drinkable beverage. I got flu or cold right now and I prepared a green tea for me today. Lets see how it going to affect my health. I heard it is not good for men, it decrease testosterone level. Maybe it is just a rumor.

One of my best friends sent a mail to me and to one of my other best friends a few days ago. He was telling a little thing about his knowledge of C programming. Basically he said that he had written C code very well years ago, he could understand it without examining it however right now, he had been examining one of C code and he had been death about it, he could not have written it without a pen. When I saw the mail at the first time, one of common proverb came up to my mind which is very very correct, not only about programming but also everything you can image. Use it or Lose it. I think it is american proverb but not sure. Whenever you practice on anything,  it is like relearning process. If you did not practice regularly, you would kill your that particle skills. Lets think them about it. From driving to swimming, speaking a foreign language to programming, reading to writing. Endless possibility we have for. Same proverb goes to your body functionality t...
