virtual office .. can it work for 2008?

so, we have an office space at Markham and Steeles. It nice and big. 2200 sf with ton of offices and boardroom etc. but unfortunately i hate driving to markham everyday. The drive sux and the drivers are even worse. So, i subleased the unit and started looking for space downtown. While looking for a space, the team went virtual. SKYPE, VOIP, GoTo Meetings .. crazy. Its been so good and comfortable AND PRODUCTIVE that i am debating the need for a big office. So, my plan is to bring the account team in house and keep the code team virtual. We will do our monday and friday conference using SKYPE and maybe video conferencing solutions but it would be a virtual team. We do this with our office in INDIA so why not try it here…

my idols – rajinikanth

so, i was thinking about all the different public figures that i consider to be my idols..i wanted to started making a list and see how big it gets..

Rajini is the classic rags to riches story. He was discovered while working as a ticket conductor on the buses of South India. He went on to become the BIGGEST icon in the South Asian market.

He is very humble and spiritual. I wonder what it must be like for an entire country to adore you.

creating momentum

momentum is a funny thing. its hard to get into a momentum a.k.a groove but when you do, things start to flow in your favor. Somehow the universe lines up opportunities for you. There is a catch in that we don’t know if these are good or bad opportunities THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT but opportunities do come ..

3 months ago i decided that we need a mobile strategy within our overall consumer strategies and started to work on a plan to see how we can incorporate this into blueband … since then,

1. i got invited to a mobile showcase event (had no clue what the event was until i showed up)

2. met 2 mobile companies through random introductions

3. a mobile project showed up in the radar

4. possible BIG account in 2008 (i can’t say anymore it)

I have always believed in the power of momentums and try to be aware of it within my life cycles. Its a wonderful thing.

So, how do you generate momentum,

1. the idea MUST have passion behind it

2. you must be able to visualize the final outcome of whatever you desire

3. be open to all possibilities

4. explore every coincidence as its never an accident

5. listen to your gut

So, happy new year..and may the gods of momentum shine on you.

A picture of what may or may not be the next-generation Blackberry 9000 popped up in an online forum. The device does not appear to have a touchscreen, but it does sport a black iPhone-like sheen. Again, this could be the real deal, a hoax, or some unrelated prototype. But one thing is for sure: iPhones and Blackberries are on a collision course. As iPhones gain more enterprise-class e-mail capabilities, Blackberries will add more consumer-friendly design to its devices.

i love this idea..baby clothes for rent..

Since newborns grow out of a clothing size every month or so in the first half year of their lives, German Lütte-Leihen came up with a solution: a layette rental service for a fixed fee per month. Parents can choose from different sets of onesies, pyjamas and outerwear. The clothes are delivered by post (or by hand to Hamburg and its suburbs). Once babies grow out of a size, the set can be exchanged for the next size up, free of charge. Like Netflix for baby clothes.

Lütte-Leihen’s 9 – 11 piece sets come in a limited range of neutral colours and patterns, and include everything from bodysuits and pyjamas to socks and hats. Pricing ranges from EUR 17 – 26 per month, depending on which set is selected. The clothing may be used, but it’s in great condition; the items are only used for a short while by each baby, and there’s not much wear and tear in the first six months. Moreover, most of the clothing provided by Lütte-Leihen is made from 100% organic cotton.

Besides saving parents the expense of clothes that are only worn briefly, Lütte-Leihen’s service spares them the hassle of shopping for new items in a period when time is at a premium. One to set up locally, or on a larger scale? For more examples of rental services and fractional ownership, check out trendwatching.com’s transumers briefing. (Related: Marketplace for P2P rental.)
