TEDxSMU

2009-10-11T03:51:06Z

Today I witnessed, quite possibly, the best group gathering I have ever been to in my life (unless you count my wedding as one). TEDxSMU TED is a “conference” that focuses on inspiring people with other people’s stories… sharing information and motivation that propels people to innovate and start something. “Ideas worth spreading” TEDxSMU is part of the TEDx campaign where it brings smaller scale versions of TED to other cities and countries… Why would I say that it’s quite possibly the best group...(read more)

a long way gone

I finished A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah today while at the ENT… I’m still trying to process the book, as it is one of those that you read and it moves your neurons.

It’s a fast read… only a few hundred pages and is incredibly interesting. It’s a memoir about Ishmael’s life growing up as a child soldier in Sierra Leone...(read more)

Get the pun? :: groan :: So the infamous 37 Signals has been posting up some not so interesting or useful blogposts lately. I mean, I understand how tough it is to live up to the hype that you’ve created for yourself through your blog… 37 Signals used to be THE place for cargo culters to get their cargo culting material. I fell for it a while back. I quite my cozy .Net job, got a Rails job and am now living happy… But their last few posts have been no short of whack … There was one where… and I quote...(read more)
