Namaste,some great news here in Madrid .I'll be C.K. Prahalad's personal assistant during his stay in Madrid for ExpoManagement 2007. This congress is the biggest of its kind in Europe and features speakers like Alan Greenspan, W. Chan Kim ("Blue Ocean Strategy") and Clayton Christensen ("Seeing What's Next").Basically it's a management conference - with top-level participation. HSM claims there will be 2.500 European executives.Anyway - let's get back to the point I wanted to make.It's an incredible chance to help this great thinker to make his stay here as comfortable, successful and easy-going as possible and get him to know a little bit.I am currently reading his book "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits") and it's really good. I'll post on that shortly.Until the expo (it'll be on the 22nd and 23rd of May), I'll try to read his other books ("Competing for the Future" and "The Future of Competition: Co-Creating Unique Value with ...

BROAD CASTING FROM OFFTRACK RADIO
2007-05-09 13:11:00
What an album! On May 7th, Sonar Kollektiv's Jazzanova and Dirk Rumpf of Offtrack Radio released a bomb!The new album, a compilation and second in the series features 17 exquisite tracks.I always loved "Held him first" by Deyampert - and having the acoustic version now let's me play around with it for a remix.I just checked the prices and this really struck me:On Sonar Kollektiv's homepage, the LP sells for just € 10,99, on German Amazon.de you can only find the first part of the series and not the new one and finally, on Amazon.com it sells for a whopping $ 28,49.Really good: on the Sonar Kollektiv homepage you can listen to all the songs in full length (with a low bitrate). Just click here, and scroll down the page.Anyway. The album is great, some of the highlights are Del Fuego, Listen to the Drums and of course Held Him First.By the way:If anyone finds the lyrics to Held Him First (I tried to come up with a transcript, but I'm not really sure if it's right), let me know!

POP!TECH Richard Dawkins
2007-05-06 21:06:00
I came across a good podcast at POP!TECH. Richard Dawkins is talking about science's greatest strength: to be able to admit ignorance.He's quoting Steve Grant..."think of an experience from your childhoodsomething you remember clearly,something you can see, feel or maybe even smell as if you were really there.after all, you really were there at that time, weren't you?how else would you remember it ?but here is the bombshell:you weren't there.not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place.matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes togetherWhatever you are therefore,you are not the stuff of which you are made."UPDATE:I watched a couple of the other pop!casts and wanted to share the links to the two I liked best with you:Thomas Friedman (Tom purports that green is the new red, white and blue, and that our current energy crisis is like no other.)Reggie Watts (Writer, composer, musician and comedian extraordinaire Reggie Watts leads a mu...

BACK FROM BERLIN
2007-04-05 17:09:00
I just came back from a short trip in Berl in ,catching up with friends I hadn't seen for a while.Thanks to Sesamoel for the great view of Ost-Berlin from the 19th floor. And the one thing that strikes me, everytime I'm there is thatthe city's face changes all the time,everything is renewed and modernised,changed.And the architecture is beautiful.Paris and Rome may be impressive, but with all the space available in Berlin,the buildings' peculiarities and structure are so accentuated.Prices are incredible for a Western European capital.It probably has to be like that because with the unemployment rate at 16.3%(and even more in Mitte, the central part) it's one of the highest in Germany.Housing is really cheap, too. Imagine a 250sqm. flat in Central London for 1500 €.And finally people: they stay unpretentious, cool and really friendlyand actually drive that change. From the (admittedly superficial) impressions I hadit's a juicy cultural mix in equilibrium.

Just wanted to share some thoughts and stats about my feed-reading habits.I'm using Google Reader (switched from Feedreader when I started using a Mac)and also have it on my Google Homepage.Doesn't work too well with Firefox (2.0.0.3) though. Have some problems adding feeds.Here are the stats:Needed to catch up with a lot of unread feeds some days ago.Not the best way to read though.When I read them daily, I go into more detail (and the actual post)than when reading 300 on one day... where I'm mostly skipping from headline to headline.A list of starred items during the last days. It would actually be greatif Google could offer a "print all to .pdf" (with different criteria like e.g.tags, time starred because I maybe want to exclude the ones I starred months ago, etc.)
