Homo Viator

Here the funny highlights of the joint interview of Gates and Jobs. Steve Jobs speaks out of my heart when he says at : "I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or Beatles song."
Since the day I moved to my flat in Berlin, I have listened to either the White Album or the Beatles Anthology II (great rare, alternative cuts) every day in the morning when in the shower and to Bob Dylan on the iPod when on my way to work. Could not think of a better soundtrack of my life.

The video below is a must-see. Kara Swisher is such a talented journalist. Jobs makes funny refernces to the PC vs. MAC ads. I really ask myself: Why is it that American CEO's are so much funnier, more relaxed and easy-going than their European counterparts? I guess that Americans generally tend to be much more self-ironical than us Europeans.



Here some examples of the fanatastic line of MAC vs. PC ads for those of you, who have never cared to watch all of them on Youtube.

Wanna test your geography lesson and play against other players online? My friend Mark told me about this game. He is a political and economic analyst for a competitor of the Economist Intelligence unit and told me that he plays this game against other colleagues online. And since it teaches you about geography he may as well consider it work.
It is funny how he tells me about this just a couple of days after I considered making myself a list of all the world's countries and capitals that i wanted to study on my train ride to work. Just to keep the brain muscle working out a bit. I will now be able to put that newly gained geographical knowledge to a test: Geosense.

MyMüsli, custom-mixed, all organic cereals.
Great product: one where the customization power of the internet really adds value to the product. Even ofline shopping aficionados must see the benefit of being able to choose all the ingredients of your preferred Müsli.
Great Market: Germans love Müsli and with more and more people turning to LOHAS, this is going to be a continously growing market.
Great Revenue Model: Hey, I mean there is a clear revenue model here from day one of operations. Most Web 2.0 start ups in the Valley don't even have one after years of operations.
