On attending Barcamp HK 09

One of my favorite tech event for the year. Every year I would hang around and see what new stuff I would learn. This year its no different. I came to learn and take picture.

I have always like their pantry. The coffee machine that churn out cappuccino, latte and espresso.

I like their talk. Leon (www.lifehack.org) and Greg (www.anobii.com) Lesson learned on mentoring start-up.

Kin (www.lakoo.cn) talk about mobile games in China. This round…I understand a little better on the overall mobile game in China because he presented it in Cantonese.

I always thought there is money to be made in mobile games and have always wondered how to break into this market. But I don’t have the programming capability. I can only become a spectator on this one.

Aaron (www.jadetower.com) on what is google wave is all about.

Bill (www.billibala.com) share about being an entrepreneur.

Save this one for last because need to do some rambling. Alex Kong (www.akasas.com). A very successful malaysian entrepreneur who started asiatravelmart.com and afoofa.com came in to do a presentation on his latest venture.

I left after five minutes because I can’t take a Jaguh Kampung doing his self promotion. He said…’Some of you might know or have seen me in CNN, Businessweek…blah…blah. I have been awarded numerous award….blah…blah…My product are use by MAS, AirAsia…blah…blah). Can’t take this Jaguh Kampung bullshit, man….

In malaysia, I would never be able to meet this guy. He network with the ministers, datuks and tan sris. But in Hong Kong, we are in the same network circle…go figure…hehee…I probably be seeing him again this wednesday because Guy Kawasaki is coming into town.

If he has come in by saying…’My name is so and so…I have developed many internet product and have been some what successful.. in some and this is my latest product…I want to share with you and hopefully spread the word about my latest product’…wouldn’t that be nicer…shit…I would not be rambling so much.

Anyway, I had fun at Barcamp. Thanks the organizers and sponsors. Some slides below for your enjoyment.
