I’m writing this blog post from my phone. Off for a drink with a friend. Had a busy day, very, very operational. Started with an unexpected need for large amount for RMB to deal the unexpected sales volume. As the team worked exactly how much they needed i worked on how to get into onto Mainland...
I saw a car waiving through the Beijing traffic today. It reminded me the of the days when I would take my little crazy toy back in Canada and do the same thing. A few of customers in Canada would comment on my toy and the fact that I was ‘making too much money’. ...
We are fast tracking ‘SilverDevotion.com’ marketing for Xmas. My style of communication (in Nov 2009) is here. Putting it here to see if there is an evolution with time on how I reach out to the teams.

Today was a very operational and admin day (again!). No real work in terms of huge strategic value, but a lot of operational things. In fact, the big part of the day was spent on looking and approving invoices – from the organizational point of view, this is definitely a...
With only 4 hours sleep in me, it was not the most productive day. Nevertheless, I met with a friend of Charles’s – a fellow by the name of Michael that is wired into the MBA at Tsinghua University. The idea is to get back into the lecturing, teaching mode that I enjoy. As before,...
