Well I guess afterall a bit of good/bad news mix!

The web-development meetup that sounded very promising which I was invited to speak at here in BKK on Tuesday will definitely be a go - since the New York trip just got cancelled!

Will be great to have the chance to meet and share knowledge with more of Bangkok's best entrepreneurs. Despite many people suggesting that it'd be a waste of my time to work with the Thai government in building the startup scene here (despite the Thai govt spending huge amounts to support it via new departments devoted to ICT, eg: www.mict.go.th) - I'm going to give it a shot. I mean, their devotion and success thus far in building information infrastructure has been damn impressive. Theyre doing a better job to remote locations (in order to include the entire population) than even the USA (although; I agree - hillbillies with 3G and fiber-O would be an obvious waste). First though - need to do my homework, and see what people are really up to, interested in doing, and of course where the current startup scene exists already. Looking forward to the meetup afterall!

Oh - and today. Today was a damn thundershower. Welcome to rainy season in South East Asia! Should have taken a snap from the car on the way home this morning but the view of the rain filling up our pool will have to suffice.
