I recently participated in the Board of European Students of Technology (BEST) Summer Engineering Competition in Timisoara, Romania for a couple of weeks. BEST is a non-profit organisation by students for students. I had the time of my life and met plenty of people from all over Europe. So if you’re a student studying in Europe and eager for some action, you know courses, design, debates, parties and stuff, or up for something cool, lively, academic, cross cultural and so on, I suggest you have a look at their Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter courses.

Folks, after one fruitful year in Stockholm, it’s time to say good bye to Stockholm. I leave for Singapore on Tuesday and head to Malaysia soon after for a few days before I am off to China for a week and a half. The next couple of days will be spent catching up with some mates, settling some academic reports, and visiting my work place for presentations and such.

There is alot of talk between friends here in Berlin about the upcoming Chaos Communication Camp. It’s a five day event for hackers, nerds and all “associated life forms”.  :)  Eric and Alex will be speaking about trust (for the final time?) while Paul from YEurope will be touching on innovation in Europe. Check here for more information about the speakers.

Looks like an excellent event. Thinking of ways of sneaking in . . . ;)

In the meanwhile, enjoy the conversation with Erik Starck of GlocalReach. In summary, Erik was formerly with Sony Ericsson, started his first company in 1998 and here, will speak about his latest venture, GlocalReach.
