Just came back from a special talk at the Foundling Museum that really blew my mind away.
I have always been very interested in the attachment theory, in terms of the way we bonded as children affects the way we relate to others as we grow [...]
A few years ago I walked by the underpath in Waterloo, London, surprised and delighted by a poem that silently accompanied me. What captured me was these few lines of the poem by Sue Hubbard,

Yesterday I went to a panel discussion at the Google office with some heavy-weight industry leaders on the future of the internet, with the first half focusing on the venture capital environment of the UK and Europe and the second half focusing on the future of the internet:
Reid Hoffman, Chairman & Founder, [...]

Even more ironically I’m feeling very very dreadful whenever I see all these pending ‘requests’ from my facebook. Weekdays we troll through thousands of work emails, and when we get home during weekends there’s another hundreds of stupid facebook apps out [...]

I love to spend more time enjoying the holiday – but the two essays have been bugging me – I hate writing and I am admittedly not a good writer… There is this sloppy-personality of mine that I have not come to terms with. I guess most students are like that though, you write, ponder, [...]
It’s been a while since we get to talk about Marshall McLuhan, one of the most important thinkers of the time who coined ‘medium is the message’. Talking about his theories actually reminded me of some good times of sharing ideas and ideals back then in my good-old teens… I guess time flies, and [...]
Got invited by Paul (the founder of yellowikis) to the BBC innovation labs today in Brighton – was so happy to see such a green and nice area of England! I must travel more now that I am in the centre of everything (a ten-minutes walk from the London Bridge rail station). No excuse [...]
I definitely want to go to the Battle of Ideas organized by the Institute of Ideas with RCA and other interesting parties,
The Battle of Ideas 2005 was an interdisciplinary festival at which hundreds of people had the opportunity to get to grips with and discuss the key ideas of our time. The Battle [...]
