radical candour from a deep generalist
I think this will go down as one of my favorite events ever. To this day I have never been to or helped to run a more fun event. Weeks of planning went into this and it was a hardcore multi day event.
But it was so much fun.
This was November, 2009.
Way before the Jakarta Startup scene took off.
It’s funny to go back and look at some posts and realize they captured a moment in time where I made a big decision in my life. While it was happening I probably didn’t quite grok what was going on.
What happened after this was me asking my boss to move me out of the USA. He said give me some time and he would see what was possible.
About six months later he comes back and declared to have two places I could move to and both start with an H.
Guessing Hong Kong was easy but the other one escaped me.
The other one was in Europe but I still could not figure it out.
High Wycombe – no thanks.
Hong Kong it is.
Still in Asia…
Wow, – this one is a doozy. I really loved my BB – I can’t lie. This is why I might be too excited for the Clicks iPhone keyboard.
So what really happened is the market is Android and iPhone. I wasn’t too far off. Nokia got crushed with Blackberry and there really is just Google Android, non-Google Android and iPhone.
I do think we are slowly going to witness some of this unraveling due to the way app stores operate, come on Apple, and how AI might turn into the new interface.
bring the future I say!
I am going through my old posts and grabbing some as I go and writing about them.
This one is kind of interesting at the moment because I have been thinking a lot about doing some sort of podcast/video show focused on the region to some extent.
This is Jan 2010. You could say I was involved with doing some form of this over 13 years ago.
This format was fun. Talk about current events, some global stuff, some local stuff, pontificate about tech and just have a bit of fun. I consider this format to be kind of cool and something that is missing unless there is some local podcast out there that.I am not aware of.
Soon we will be having a cool place in Singapore to do something like this and stay tuned for more updates.
