Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2012
It’s a tradition since I’m blogging. Every year in august, I’m waiting for the new edition of the Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, edited by Gartner. Here is the 2012 one that has just been published. After all these years looking at it, I’ve come to the conclusion that we do not have to see this cycle as granted, but more as something that gives us some perspective,...

We need to fight Mediocrity!
There’s a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged  Sean Penn It can sound arrogant or pretentious to say so, but I really think we need to encourage people to fight mediocrity! It’s perhaps one of the most dangerous poisons of our current lives. But what is mediocrity? Mediocrity is this status between bad and good, when...

Following my previous post where I announced ny new plans as an entrepreneur Entrepreneur Mode On I thought I would share with you the mood I am in.

Entrepreneur Mode On!
In case my title was not clear enough: yes, I am now an entrepreneur, working on my own project (I won’t call it a start-up before it actually starts). Before giving you more details about this new project, a few comments about what happened to me to be that crazy.

It’s a full study you can buy from Gartner, but the cycle is always...
