- @huslage @pcdnetwork disagree. Entrepreneurship depends on networks - that depends on location. That's my final thought. :-)February 4, 2012 4:22
- @huslage @pcdnetwork critical mass depends on what your product/service is - it's not black/white. No, location is about networks.February 4, 2012 4:21
Caught my eye this week
Three things caught my eye this week, ending February 28:
The arrest of 49 Turkish generals for allegedly plotting a coup
Earthquakes, the disaster many cities dread
Thoughts on how aid is covered and advocated, from Aid Thoughts — an absolute must read for anyone in the field.
Quiz: Which do you think has me obsessed? (Answer will be in the next post)
What’s on my iPod?
Agaetis Bryjun, a song from a band from the island of Iceland
Since we’re talking about Islands, I like this ditty by the XXs
And speaking of XXs…. At Last by Etta James (he hasn’t, but I like the song anyway..)
