Oliver Thylmann’s Thoughts

This sunday I read the June Issue of Business 2.0 and the title story is “How to Build a Bullet Proof Startup”. I am happy to report that we are doing rather well based on the list. As an example, we beat their specs for getting an office by a big margin: we are paying less than market rate, got the place renovated, don’t have any commitment on the timeframe, and have just enough room for now with over 100 square meters blocked for us on the same floor.

For now, I am not sure we are bullet proof, but things are progressing nicely.

On and by the way, the system above to read Business 2.0 online rocks. Thanks Loic for the pointer.

Jamie messages me an image recently.

Knowing that he lives in the US, it did look like a weird sight. I then learned that these kind of posters (here is another one) are all over Grand Central in New York. At least he has seen them nowhere else. With Grand Central being a major hub in New York, and New York being a very financial city, this actually does make sense, or at least if it makes sense, then in Grand Central.

So there you go. Invest in Germany. You might want to invest in Ormigo while you’re at it

Need a color picker for OS X that also gives you HEX values? First get HEXColorPicker to extend the default color picker to give out hex values. Then go here for a little script that allows you to open the color picker from anywhere as if it were its own application. Problem solved.
