Tech Crunch Moscow 2011

A fost o aventura pe cinste, am ajuns in Moscova in ziua alegerilor. Peste tot politie, si oameni in civili, fsb-isti si alti cadri.

Dar sa incep cu inceputul: intr-o discutie cu Vitalie mi-a zis ca se duce cu Alex la #tcmoscow 2011, eu normal nu am rezistat sa nu zic “spoate si eu cu voi?” :) . L-am sunat pe Alex, mi-a dat url-ul unde se vindeau bilete la conferinta si 7500 ruble “cacind nis n-au fost”.

Biletul avia l-am luat de la o veche cunostinta care acum are agentie de turism, iar hotelul a fost rezervat de Veronica la 20 de metri de Digital October unde a avut loc conferinta, pentru asta un MULTIMESC mare.

In prima zi Alex ne-a intilnit la gara, si ne-a ajutat sa mergem la hotel.

Dupa checkin am mers putin prin oras. Totul era plin de politisti, nu prea am vrut sa-i fotografiez ca sa nu petrec noaptea inainte de conferinta prin vre-o camera de la politie.

In schimb l-am fotografiat pe Kaspersky, si am fost amenintat de gorilele lui – sa nu-i fac poze.

Seara am fost la un restaurant, 5 persoane – nota de plata 10mii de ruble – normal!

Friday

Pe 5 decembrie a inceput evenimentul, foarte multa lume buna, calitatea imaginii, sunetului si in general a evenimentului – jos palaria.

Initial multi se plingeau ca nu au auzit nimic nou la eveniment, pai ce poti sa auzi total nou pentru un auditoriu care citeste 10-20 de site-uri/bloguri tehnice ? Evenimentul a fost facut in primul rind pentru networking si pentru stabilirea de parteneriate, afaceri. Unde vei mai avea ocazia sa intilnesti face 2 face fondatorul Yandex, Ozon.ru, sau reprezentanti ai fondurilor de investitii de sute de milioane sau chiar miliarde de dolari?

Toti cei care au venit pentru stabilirea de contacte, si-au atins scopul in mare parte – twitter feed-ul era plin cu comentarii pozitive despre calitatea oamenilor de afaceri de acolo.

Mai jos vedeti intro de la eveniment:

Si video integral de la eveniment, poate fi boring, dar cei care au fost la eveniment au apreciat.

Cei care ascultau versiunea rusa, in partea 2-a a evenimentului au avut parte de o distractie pe cinste – traducatorul a fost omul zilei dupa cum puteti vedea si din feed-ul proiectat pe ecranele din sala.

La urma niste video random:

P.S. Acest post a stat in Drafts citeva zile, si l-am postat asa, fara sa-l mai revad.

Volatile History of Chemistry

In Part 1, Discovering the Elements, Al-Khalili tackles one of the greatest detective stories in the history of science, tracing the steps of the chemists who risked their lives to find and fight for the building blocks of our entire world.

Part 2, The Order of the Elements, explores the 19th century chemists who set out to make sense of the elements, from working out their exact number to plotting them in one of the most intricate and brilliant intellectual organizational systems of all time: the periodic table. All throughout, bitter disputes and explosive experiments inflict fascinating chaos on this ultimate quest for order.

Part 3, The Power of the Elements, uncovers the incredible passion and, often, heartache that went into chemists’ efforts to command the extreme forces of nature and combine elements to build the modern world. From last century’s dramatic breakthroughs to a riveting tour of modern-day alchemy across some of the world’s best chemistry labs, Al-Khalili’s story not only offers an illuminating history of this fundamental science, but also reinstills a profound awe for the complexity and whimsy of our world.
