Overview
About Me
When you look up to the sky at night, far far away you can see shine the star. On this star I’m sitting every night and watching the world from above, just chilling and thinking about eternity. In the day I’m coming back, standing on my feet and feel the life, the move the change.
That’s me – Jan (Honza, Jenik, Ploca) Plocek – young guy, half-dreamer who loves life and people around.. and who loves sharing the experience from “common” life.
I feel most alive in the spontaneous actions like when you climb over the neighbor’s fence and risk that he will catch you just only for picking the most beautiful apple from the tree.
I came from little town of Česká Třebová, but most of the time I spend in Brno, very nice city in the South Moravian region. I’m working in IT but I love art. I’m interested in connection between technology and art to producing something unique which can make people happy and smiling.
Interests
I’m also interested in classical art (gothic, renaissance) and modern art (pop art). Other thing is architecture. I’m fascinated with the industrial cities and old manufactories which had in 1920’s the biggest boom in Czechoslovakia.
For balancing the cultural and social life with technologies is the best way moving and meditation. I love free running when you stop thinking and only feel your breath. This is a kind of meditation for me. Also love playing football with my friends, we are together and enjoy this moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think every day amazing things are happening. I'm happy if I can everyday at least one person help or make him smile. For example today I stamped the ticket in the bus old woman, she cannot did it herself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you one of the hardest czech sentence for saying (tongue twister):
"Tři sta třicet tři stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přes tři sta třicet tři stříbrných střech."
