NIKOLOV: Kota 0. It's a Bulgarian rock band. I make it a point to support local artists.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: I'm sure they'll appreciate your support after viewing this weekly column.
NIKOLOV: "Interstellar." Blown away with the attention to detail put into it.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: Still can't get over Jim Carrey's spoofs of Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln commercials.
NIKOLOV: BMW X5.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: There seems to be an overwhelming amount of BMW support from cloud-focused CEOs.
NIKOLOV: "The Big Bang Theory" — because it's funny and geeky, so it fits perfectly to my interests.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: This reporter still doesn't get the hype.
NIKOLOV: "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. When I sit down to read it's usually fiction, I try to keep it as far from my field of work as possible, it helps me relax.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: Does the name Michael Crichton sound familiar? Crichton was also the creator of the television series ER.
NIKOLOV: Half Bike. It's a project by a group of Bulgarian architects that I backed on Kickstarter and then we bought a few of the half bikes for the office — people ride them around the office, it’s quirky but fun.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: This seems like it could potentially be dangerous — I'm in.
NIKOLOV: Glympse. My busy schedule is making it really hard to catch up with friends, and I usually don’t even have the time to tell them where I’m going to be and when — so I got this app to help me keep up with the people who are dear to me and hopefully have more time to actually get together.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: And here's one way technology brings friends and families together.
NIKOLOV: Mojito. I am not very much into cocktails, so it must have been during the last days of summer.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: The cocktail of summer.
NIKOLOV: "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: Ever wonder what these two looked like in their early days? Take a look.
NIKOLOV: London. I went to see the ATP World Tour tennis Finals. Sadly, Roger Federer withdrew from the final match, so I am still kind of bummed out..
TALKIN' CLOUD'S SPIN: Don't want to brag or anything, but I did see Federer play a couple of years ago at the U.S. Open.
