A week of awesome tech/startup/cool stuff in Cambridge

January 19th, 2010

The week of 25-29 January 2010 is going to be absolutely awesome in Cambridge. There are three great events that you need to attend.
Of these, it’s most important that you come to the Cambridge Tech Meetup. We’ll be kicking the year off with a bang and six “wicked awesome” technology demos, from people/companies [...]


I got a new job (six weeks ago)

November 30th, 2009

So the reason I haven’t posted here in a while is because I got a new job!
As of about six weeks ago I started working full time with Google as a Strategic Partner Manager, in the EMEA Reseller team. It’s been fun, exciting, and a lot of work and material to learn and (hopefully) [...]


A Marc Andreessen blog archive

October 15th, 2009

I noticed a few weeks ago that Marc Andreessen had deleted virtually everything off his blog. The only thing that’s left is the post announcing the formation of his VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz.
I’ve been such a huge fan of Marc’s writing, and hated to see so many brilliant and incredibly helpful posts lost. [...]

(With a short note to point out that both Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge, MA… named after THIS Cambridge!) [...]


OpenCoffee Cambridge & thoughts and ideas on the startup scene

February 20th, 2009

First of all, thank you to everyone that came out to the first OpenCoffee Cambridge today! I wasn’t sure what to expect, and thought the worst case would mean about 3-4 people would just chat in the coffee shop. I didn’t try to make an accurate count, but I would guess about 30 [...]


Announcing OpenCoffee Club in Cambridge

February 15th, 2009

Saul Klein started the OpenCoffee Club just about two years ago with an initial gathering in London. As I’ve mentioned before, Cambridge is one of the other hearts of entrepreneurial ventures in the UK and Europe. About 10% of venture capital across Europe is invested in Cambridge. (A city of just 80,000 [...]


A fascinating blog

February 4th, 2009

I have a slight confession to make. While I got my undergrad degree in engineering, I’ve always enjoyed reading and try to read quite a bit. By all rights, I should detest grammar, and in many ways I do. (Probably because I never really learned it properly.) But that said, I’m [...]
