Some thought-inspiring podcasts for you, which you may or may not have heard of

There’s talk on the web about “thought leadership” (I prefer the term “thought inspiration”), so I felt like writing something about what sources, podcasts this time, inspire thinking with me. An obvious example would be TED, which I think most of us know, but today I’ll list a few that I listen to regularly, which [...]

My theory of the firm

Inspired by the Grasshopper podcast on Venture Voice. Har har, Vincent Like Unlike

Good podcast month for entrepreneurial lessons

If you want to hear some interesting perspectives on the hardware and software business and/or starting businesses in general, check out the Stanford entrepreneurial thought leader lectures held

Understanding "Free!"

I’m sitting in the train, reflecting on the concept of “Free!”, having just listened to a podcast from the London School of Economics on the diminishing role of European citizenship—a British university, a very dry topic, my thoughts naturally drifted elsewhere. I’ve also been thinking about the dwindling state of print-media and the onslaught of [...]

Business planning for success—reducing assumptions

Note: this post was written a few weeks ago, I just forgot to publish it. Credit crisis, schmedit smeisis, I decided to just not care about it. Life is hard, it may have become harder, but that doesn’t meant that we shouldn’t just get on with it (a little harder) too. One of the issues [...]

A lot of fun @ Gymglish, a Paris-based startup

Yeah, I’m late and haven’t blogged on TechEd in Barcelona & Study Trip To Silicon Valley – but I will. By the way, who said you can only have real fun working in a startup in Silicon Valley? About a year ago, I went to a lecture on entrepreneurship at Ecole Centrale Paris with, amongst others, the [...]

In Silicon Valley, enjoying

I’m exhausted and it’s only half of the study trip, but I enjoy SO MUCH going with a great bunch of cool guys to amazing companies like OQO, Netvibes, City Council of SF, l’Atelier US, eBay, Box.net, SRI, Stanford, Meetro and tomorrow Twitter, Neocase, Microsoft, Google, Plug & Play, the Churchill Club, XOBNI – & the day after [...]

How the world looked like before the Internet

Thanks to Emmanuel, also a blogger on Tech IT Easy, for pointing this video to me. Have you ever tried to recall how the world went round before we had cell phones, laser printers, wireless and unlimited bandwidth at a fixed subscription price? Well if not, then this video might prove enlightening..& funny (I had AOL, [...]

"Platform as a Service" by SalesForce

A not-so-interesting, but worth watching once, buzz marketing video for SalesForce’s AppExchange platform & Force framework. You could basically leave content as it is and replace SalesForce – AppExchange – Force by: Microsoft + CRM 4.0 ‘Titan’ + .NET; Facebook + Facebook API; Twitter + Twitter API; Google + GWT; Adobe + Flash + Flex; etc. [...]

Chit Chatting with Ziki's Anglo Saxon community manager

Hey Rupert, what’s your name? Rupert. Right. Can you tell us more about you? As part of the Ziki team I am working as community manager for the English speaking web. My main task is to make Ziki’s innovative features known by the biggest number of people possible and we think that there are still [...]

People First! – learning from Ratatouille and Pixar

This is an ironic topic to write about for me, as at uni, I’ve avoided Human Resource courses like the plague. As a matter of fact, I never got along with a single HR-manager that interviewed me. They seem focussed on placing me in a box, while I am focussed on not fitting in one. [...]

Jazz battle @ a distance

In response to Ouriel who claims he found the best jazz piano – voice extract ever, here’s Tuck & Patti (I saw them live in Paris @ Vincennes floral park in 2006, and they’re just amazing) performing a jazzy medley of bluesy Jimmy Hendrix’s Castle Made of Sand and Little Wing. This is probably the [...]

Daft Punk Dance

Gosh, that girl is serious about dancing. PS: yes, I know, another post tightly linked with technology. You know, I could have elaborated on buzz marketing or video on demand. You’re lucky. Like Unlike

10 reasons I love blogging

I have become a de facto source for information (still a modest one, but better a little something than a virtual black hole) I have become a de facto destination for information – receiving between 1 and 10 private emails every day through this blog. Half of them usually are PR product introductions for me [...]
