Nvidia's CEO on Entrepreneurship

This is a great (audio-only) talk by Jensen Huang, Co-Founder and CEO of NVidia: Vision Matters.

He talks about the importance of having a big vision when starting a company and shares some fun anecdotes on raising money and setting price points. Some of the stuff he says ("Favoring Moore's Law over Customer Feedback") is diametrically opposed to the currently favored worldview (the Eric Ries / Steve Blank style of customer demand based iteration), which I found refreshing.

Timo's Podcasting Empire

I spent the last one-and-half weeks in Europe. "Europe? We have a perfectly good Europe at EPCOT Center. It's not good enough or something?" I forgot how modern this place looks. At least in some places. Quite a contrast to SF.

While in Munich, Germany, I visited my Timo and his fast-growing podcasting empire. Watch us talk about the iPhone in this vidcast (in German) and listen to us talking about Germany's copy-paste Web 2.0 innovation in this podcast (in German).

I also watched a great comedy about speed dating in Munich: Shoppen (German Trailer): The personalities of 16 Munich singles clash in encouters of 5 minutes each. That movie brought back many memories of dealing with German girls and their peculiarities. Highly recommended.
