Sriram Krishnan™ Live

Folks, lads, chaps, some friends and I will be organising Asia’s first Facebook Developer Garage in Singapore next Wednesday. Yep! It’s the first in Asia alright. Previous garages were held to great success in San Fransisco, Toronto, Seattle and London. Apart from Singapore, there would be a couple more upcoming garages in Cape Town and Vancouver.

We’re already in touch with some really cool people and developers ( ) . Look below for more information.

Venue: Tentatively National University of Singapore Staff Club (map soon)
Date: 24th October 2007
Time: 6pm onwards
Dinner will be provided.
Bring your laptops. Please.

We’ve also created a Facebook group so if you’re in the neighbourhood do pop by and chill with us.

10.50am

Hey folks, Justin, Wilson and I just arrived at the XMediaLab 2007. We were erm, slightly, late so we kindda missed the first three lecturers. My apologies for the future grammar and spelling mistakes. I will be typing as fast as I can while capturing the essence of the content.Justin is currently all over the place taking pictures. We just walked into the presentation by Geoff Lillemon and Anita Fontain, artists and art directors specializing in new and interactive media. Their were showing a couple of cool video games they were working on.

Speaker 1: Isaac Kerlow, Dean of Art, Design and Media, NTU. Check more here
Speaker 2: Suhjung Hur, Korea’s most influential “digital media arts” power brokers. Check more here.
Speaker 3: Geoff and Anita just finished their presentation. Check more here.

I will be attending this event from tomorrow onwards at NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media. The day will be broken down into four sessions, Media Arts, R&D, New Media, New Geographies and Creative Ideas, Business Plans.

I have arranged for Johan Stael Von Holstein, who will be in Singapore during this period, to speak on the second day of this event at the labs.

Singapore is one of the five stops of this global media event. Others are Mumbai, Melbourne, London and Beijing.

I will be bringing my laptop to cover this event live and also hoping to nail a couple of online interviews. Stay tuned for the live blogging in the next couple of days. Special thanks to Bjorn for helping me hook up with the organisers.

Yujun, Beng Han and I have been extremely busy lately with this competition. It’s organised by the University of Karlsruhre and sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton and BASF.

Anyways, the business case study is extremely interesting and absorbing. Have a look at it: bm_2007_pre_case.pdf

What would be your choice of region?

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 . . .

Wow, the lineup looks fantastic so far. Their site looks awesome as well. I am talking about SIME 2007. This conference was co-founded by Beata Wickbom, one of the moderators at Hej! 2007. Be sure to check out last year’s video and be inspired. You can pre-register here.
