My Last Organizing BASE before heading for Singapore in July

Last night we had our 6th event of BASE networking session! It went great!

We did not have speakers nor presenters last night but we were not too concerned about it. It would be fantastic if we were to have some great people talking to us. However, once in a while, we might just want to sit and talk to each other instead of listening to others talking to a group of people. (do you agree?)

We went back to the format of the very first time when we started BASE in March. Everyone introduced themselves one by one... (to break the ice) we had a small rounds of "shout-outs". Frank introduced Adam Smith from Xobni.com. He was here for holidays and he should be on the plane to Japan right now. Wish a safe and pleasant journey to Adam. Wish I knew he was in town earlier.. I got a bit of time to bring him around I guess. He told us he had hard time getting round speaking no Chinese. Glad that he made it! Next time, drop us an email. We have tons of friends who can help you in many ways!

Jennifer sent her colleagues to BASE last time to talk about their business plan competition. It's a pretty good way for a Chinese startup to get some initial funding without going through the tough Angel and VC funding hunt. Well, it takes a lot of luck to meet the right angel or VC. For you information about the business plan competition, you can visit the website here.

Erik was here and he's working on his gaming startup right now and he got accepted into Tsinghua MBA program. Congratulations to him! He's looking for a CTO right now to work with him on his startup!

Abe has finally secured his researcher position in Tsinghua Medical School! that's great! Congratulations to you!

Gina, Long time no see! Glad that you are a journalists now at Beijing Today. It is an English newspaper! maybe you can find her news articles there!

Ralf's girl friend has left her IT company and she's having her first day at a marketing consulting firm. wow, it's so exciting for her. All the best!

Ralf would take over me to run the BASE event and please give him support! He wants to do something but he needs lots of guidance. Frank, Darius, Resh, David De, please give your support to him! thanks!

My business partner, Lao Bai joined us at the networking session there too! Unfortunately, he speaks no English and I was helping him translate a little bit. Glad that he could come and see how things are like in Beijing! There is absolutely no such networking in Wenzhou.

I was really busy running around and talking to people. The very first time at BASE, I forgot to take pictures there! What a pity! it would be a group of great pictures! maybe I should organize a farewell party session at the beginning of July (not the second Thursday of the month) but rather any day then!

cool! i'll do that!

Is Facebook down?


I was trying to access Facebook just now and came across this common error page.
I tried on both Safari 3 & Firefox 2, either worked.
wonder what's wrong with it?
is it my account or what?
