Popkomm 2006, Berlin

We had a great couple of days in Berlin. Popkomm 2006, I hate these kind of events, too much talking, too much drinking and almost no sleep. Lucky we could bring our message accross to almost everybody we spoke to ;-)

Getting ready for Berlin

>> POPKOMM

?

Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places?          If people do not recognize me and it doesn't bother me, am I not a Superior Man?

For real, I agree with the first bit ;-)

>> what is the most favorite thing in the world?

Everything 2.0

Today I met with Bob Stumpel again. After a long time it was time to meet again ;-) Check his blog >> Everything 2.0

Congratulations dear Sas und Steef

Last week my little sister gave birth to her beautiful 'Mees'.

What a crazy time

At this moment in time things get busier than ever. Its hard to find the right people for our ventures since bubble 2.0 has hit mass market levels and all good people are working. (A good thing BTW)

IIP will soon launch  and we will get the chance to prove our concept, but like  anything that isn't there already you need to make everybody understand why the world will be better of with you. In a world where everything (or almost everything) already exist and small details make the difference this is hard. Not because its difficult to explain, but because its difficult for people to understand the effects small nuances have on large structures.

The proof is in the eating of the pudding they say and thats just what we will do. The challenge is huge and with a world full of greed and lack of transparrency it will be hard to make the critical mass beleive we are better of with full disclosure and honest sharing. Only those that add value should be rewarded accordingly and if they do a super good job in creating value they should get super returns. Is this just a dream or can we really make that fly? I yesterday watched an interesting piece on Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) about technology. It made me beleive even more in what we do at IIP and the track we have chosen to empower businesses doing business instead of wanting to own their piece and doing this with a group of people that beleive that two can do more than one is already a dream come true. (OK, it was very late ;-)
