Had an action packed Friday this past week with lots of events going on. First up was accelerate day at TechVenture2011. I attended the full conference at TV2010 and was even at some of the VIP events but this year I was too late getting back from the states so was only able to make [...] Read more – ‘TechVenture2011, Accelerate, FoundersDrinks & Tim Draper Singing in Singapore…’.
It is monday and I spent fri,sat, and sun helping with OHD India 11. What an awesome event. Sure there were glitches, hiccups and plenty of chaos but that is also the part that makes it all that much better when the end result turns out to be so awesome. I think there were over [...] Read more – ‘#openhackindia 11 recap!’.
india politics, a set on Flickr. Staying at the lalit ashok Bangalore which is near the BGP party headquarters. Last night there was a chief minister here supposedly resigning from politics. Total mob scene. I had to get through the line and almost got trampled by a cop but was saved by the huge hotel [...] Read more – ‘Fun with Indian politics during #openhackindia’.
I have not been blogging much – I think it was mostly out of respect for the japanese tragedy. Blogging or writing anything about myself or what I was doing paled in comparison to the real world and what people in Japan were contending with. Blogging was silly. On top of that been super busy [...] Read more – ‘On the road again…’.

Lots of talk of Singapore these days. Been here over a year and the buzz keeps growing but the bark is still louder than the bite. I first wrote about Sing here – Musings on Singapore… Most of what I said there still applies I think. Sure – the economy is cooking and sing dollar [...] Read more – ‘Oh Singapore!’.
Just wrapped up another TWIA – check this video! We should have another one this week with some special guests from Indonesia! This week in Indo and then off to Bkk for Barcamp. This is one of the biggest in the region! After Barcamp back to Singers and then maybe KL, Indo and possibly China. [...] Read more – ‘Much to do!’.
After the Tech Venture conference I did an interview with a sing based newspaper – should hit soon – the interview was talking about the rise of Asia. More and more people talk about this since the US is in trouble, Europe is in the doldrums and Asia is kicking along. The question is asked [...] Read more – ‘This is how the Asian Companies are Expanding…’.
I am totally honored to be at TechVenture 2010. I was at a VIP dinner last night with some of these folks. Very good networking! Today at a panel and tomorrow have a short speaking gig. I will cover it as much as I can here – on koprol. laterz… Read more – ‘TechVenture 2010’.
Just got back from the US for work, Sunnyvale, and catching up with friends and my family. Had a fantastic trip – some photos. I need to post the rest of my photos – just been too busy. I ate too much, slept a little, road close to 1000 miles on a rented BMW and [...] Read more – ‘How to be on the grid less?’.

We had a huge Yahoo! event over the weekend in Jakarta. Yahoo!, Nokia, and Adidas sponsored a big charity event that timed with our launch of OMG and the World Cup event. We got up early to have some futsal matches, watch a live filming of Dahsyat, and then gave away some money to a [...] Read more – ‘DAHSYAT time!’.
Since I am in Singapore I figured it was time to respond to the Koprol community and facilitate a meetup (kopup). I talked to Meng Wong over at hackerspaceSG and they were happy to let us use the space. You can see the details on upcoming.org. This is non-structured and just a chance to put [...] Read more – ‘Koprol (kopup) Meetup in Singapore’.
I have been so busy I have not had a time to re-cap my experience at Echelon. First off let me say thanks to Mohan and the team at E27 – nice work – awesome event! I wrote up something for the YDN blog and our slides are also there. By any measurement the event [...] Read more – ‘Echelon!’.
Been a roving madman lately. Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, back to Singapore and now in KL. Some events and stuff to be aware of.

Dropped in from the skies, got into my Silver Bird merc and headed through the sick traffic to the Amigos Restaurant at the Bellagio Mall. It was Mobile Monday time! I have heard about this before but have never attended one in person. Must have been close to 150+ plus in attendance. The format is [...] Read more – ‘Mobile Monday Recap’.
Yes – this is a Yahoo! sponsored event but in this context I think it matters not. There – you have been disclosed. In my opinion there are not enough free form technical events for coders and people of the technical bent to get together in order to learn, share and hack. Enter Open Hack [...] Read more – ‘Looking to hack?’.
