Hackers And Founders MeetUp: Amazing
Image via CrunchBaseLast night I dropped by the Hackers And Founders MeetUp after a long gap of months, and it was just an amazing experience. It was about how I felt - very comfortable - and the people I met - fun and interesting and amazing - and some work leads I was able to generate. I might have found myself a business consulting gig. And I am constantly on a lookout for people to grab. If I can't get them in round one, I will need them in round two. That tends to be my attitude.

My Secret Desire To Become A Great Cook
Image via WikipediaI harbor secret desires to become a great cook and a great dancer. But the definition to both are very, very specific to me. I want to be able to cook super healthy. I believe that has to be the starting point. But then you also have to take into account taste.
And looks like Google has news for me.
Wired: Google Recipe Search Cooks Up Next Gen of Search: Google introduced a recipe search engine Thursday that serves up dishes based not only on the ingredients you may have on hand, but the calories you want to consume and even how much time you have to cook. .....

I Knew Google Would Deal With Content Farms
Image via CrunchBaseAbout a decade ago when blogs became popular as a platform, the blogosphere started seriously skewing the Google search results. Google took care of that.

And looks like Google just delivered. Content farms do have their place. But they don't get to skew search results.
Bloggers' Block For Fred Wilson: 10 Blocks Of Emergency

If you don't, the emergency is not going to be lifted. And you are going to be deprived of your daily staple of blog posts from Fred Wilson. Think about that.
Not Rich Yet
Image via WikipediaI am not rich yet, and it really, really bothers me. For me it is about the power. The power to run and grow a corporate organization. The power to do good. The power to go after the stated mission of curing poverty.
Unless you yourself can create serious wealth, how can you claim you are in the curing poverty business?
Democracy + Education + The Market = Wonderful Things.
Microcredit is only a small part of microfinance. Microfinance is only a small part of the many tools needed for the War On Poverty.

Wordpress For Mobile App Creation
Image via WikipediaReadWriteWeb: Like WordPress for Mobile App Creation: Cabana is a Service to Watch: Is it possible for a visual drag-and-drop mobile app creation tool to deliver a sophisticated product? ..... Drag and drop addition of features like a camera, check-ins on services like Gowalla or Foursquare, integration of the Instagram photo API and many more things are possible. ..... There is a clear demand for this kind of light app publishing technologyThis is the future people. Until the mobile web attains the same levels as the big screen web, we will need apps.
