IDG’s WebEntrepreneurs of the Year

sriram — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:31:39 +0000

OK here’s another one for you. I would like to send my love+heart+happy filled congratulations to Daniel Ek and gang (Spotify), Sorosh and gang (VideoPlaza), EricW and gang (Soundcloud), Honour Pearson and gang (Momail) and ThereseM and gang (Brainspiration) for receiving top pops at the IDG’s 2008 WebEntrepreneur of the Year awards. Duly impressed, these guys make me wonder when I should “take the plunge” myself . .. .

In case you’re interested, here’s the link so you can check out their rankings.

Hello! and Hej Varlden! 08

sriram — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:22:21 +0000

It’s been ages since I last blogged. My apologies. Academic work has been catching up on me. As some of you might know by now, I am now in my final semester (final 1.5 w33ks actually!) in university and ready (not!) to face the real world with both fists clinched.

OK I will stop rambling about this for the moment. I want to bring Hej Varlden! 2008 to your attention. Friends at nuStart, Stockholm are organising this sometime in May. If you’re in the Stockholm area, do pop by to be with good company.

NUS Facebook class article in InsideFacebook

Justin Smith from InsideFacebook wrote about our Facebook class. Thought I could let you know. He interviewed our professor, Ben Leong, regarding his motivations behind the class and so on. Anyways, it feels good to be part of the pioneer class.

InteresThink: A Ted Talk like event this Saturday

sriram — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:29:22 +0000

InteresThink is a non-profit organisation that aims to bring people and ideas from different disciplines and of different industries together. And they’re having this TED Talk like event this Saturday at the National Library Board. If you have not heard of TED Talks, you shouldn’t be surfing the internet. Kapish.

This event brings back alot of memories you know. Their blog reminds me of what we had for our Hej! 07 conference in Stockholm last year…

Anyways, a few of us would be attending this event, might be live blogging as well..haven’t done this in a long while. Their speaker and audience lists are quite diverse; they have filmmakers, authors, gay activists etc. I can daresay that this might be the first of a kind multi-disciplinary event in Singapore.

Have to admit I haven’t had the opportunity to immerse myself into events and whatnots as much as the previous year (s). Tied down with too many things…including wrapping up my final semester in uni. Hope to find the time these days .. . So yeah, if you have nothing to do this Saturday, head on down to The Pod, National Library Board @ Bugis for some eye-opening speeches and good company.

This is getting fun…

Another video made by the satirist John Fortune, this time about the credit crunch. Enjoy.

Investment Banking, Subprime and more…

British satirist John Fortune is interviewed as “George Parr the Investment Banker” by fellow satirist John Bird to discuss and make light of the subprime mortgage scandal. Too good!

Facebook Developer Garages everywhere! There’s one coming up in Singapore, Sydney, Stockholm and Kuala Lumpur. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it all organised on the same day?
