Are You Standing Next to a Rock Star?
This week’s travels kept me busy in Berlin at Interop and the Web 2.0 Expo. I try to make it a bit of an adventure when I am travelling alone. I try starting up conversations any time I’m stuck waiting, be it on a plane, in a slow moving queue or any moments where I [...]
