LinkFest 5-31-2007
31 May 2007I have a couple of interesting links that people may be interested in.
- My friend forwarded this transcript of a pre-commencement lecture given by Narayana Murthy (chief mentor and chairman of the board, Infosys Technologies) at the New York University (Stern School of Business) on May 9. The theme of the lecture was the great impact that chance events played in shaping his life. Quite a good lecture. It really got me thinking as to the random events that lead to long friendships, family, professional success, and perception altering moments.
- I got a note in my email today with links to 3 new TED Talks.
- Also some interesting articles in SmallTimes this month. NanoDynamics is planning an IPO.
- The rankings for the top Schools with Nano programs according to SmallTimes is out. ( or the quick view for the impatient).
- The SmallTimes mergers and acquisitions summary this month seem to have quite a few interesting tid-bits.
- Xradia with it’s minaturized microscope offerings with some new funding.
- NaturalNano Funding deal is in there (Notice the much improved website with their new money).
- SolarDiesel with a huge buyout deal on the plans to builds the worlds largest biodiesel plant.
- Arrowhead Research Corporation continues its end-run to gobble up all the SWNT patents it can find with the purchase of C Sixty Inc. and CNI
- Xradia with it’s minaturized microscope offerings with some new funding.
- This story from Seth Godin about alignment is concise and to the point.
“When there’s a gap between someone doing her job and doing the right thing, then management has failed.”
