Há uns dias tive um óptimo aniversário.

Pareceu-me uma alegoria a algumas passagens do livro “Rio das Flores” em que o simples Eng. Angrónomo é saludado ora como “menino Diogo” ou “Sr. Engenheiro”, dependendo de quão provinciano e próximo era o locutor.

Só não provei o bolo porque parecia um pouco contaminado, e apesar de improvável, a hidrofobia também ataca primatas.

Even the techies… and I can mention the MS touch table* its Photosynth** concept.

Well, off I go, without forgetting to mention the obvious…I have brought all my blog stuff under this new roof that I hope you enjoy and send some feedback.

* I had the pleasure of playing around with one of this tables in a PHP conference in London, where a bunch of companies where exhibiting.
** I also had the pleasure of playing around with it and it is a great concept but still lacks some matureness and fastness…

But we’re starting to turn a corner in Europe as we start to leverage some of our emerging assets. We’ve always had great talent (especially in academia & research institutions), but now we also successful entrepreneurial role models, sophisticated early-stage financing and the ability to start and test businesses at low-cost as well.
