One laptop per child!

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Children are our future. To give all children access to knowledge and foster their understanding the very didicated Nicolas Negroponte founded one laptop per child. The idea behind his non-for-profit organisation is to give each child worldwide one laptop with a learning environment and wifi. These laptops are now available and you can donate one for US$ 200, just EUR 142 at the actual exchange rate of US$ 1,41 for 1 EUR. So, donate a laptop today.

I had the pleasure to listen to Nicolas at DLD 2007 in Munich. Watch his TED talk explaning the vision behind one laptop per child.

What always stays - friendships

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Two months ago I left Ligatus. It wasn’t such an easy decision to leave our baby, especially when you have such a great team at your side. But it was time to move on.
