To a Western European, Bucharest has the effect of an electric shock.

One of the people I met last week at reboot was Dragos, a smart Romanian who reminded me that there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on in that country. Indeed there was an uncommon (at least for me) amount of talk at reboot about Romania.

Here’s another thing (quote in the title of the post is from that story): the €5,000 automobile (the Dacia Logan).

Regular readers may recall that another Romanian product, PDFReports from Interakt was responsible for producing the official lists of electors in the 2003 Provincial General Election here (full story, with video in this talk I gave at Zap).
