More About Me

I'm passionate about

Efficiency in social interactions, non-violent communication, adventure, exotic travel.

An idea worth spreading

Online tools to accelerate personal development: a tool that enables people to organize and file their thoughts and feelings, and see this data in graphic ways so they can see how well they are doing. System collects data from blogs, references from others, word clouds and photo tags. The site would encourage the writing of the truth, and even teach people how to data record factually. This enables a truth match making system, to find people of similar life paths and personalities.

Talk to me about

Social travel, collaborative consumption.

People don't know that I'm good at

writing poetry.

• A comment on Talk: James Stavridis: A Navy Admiral's thoughts on global security

  Jul 26 2012: I rather not speculate on politics, but instead just comment on body language. I loved his momentaneous pause and subsequent bowing to the crowd at the end of the video. It was a reassuring fact that he is able to stop at a moments notice and rethink his strategy of leaving the room. Comforting.

  A comment on Talk: Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food

  Feb 14 2010: Jamie oliver´s is one of the few good ideas that was able to break through corporate and political pressures and recreate the fundamentals of nutrition in our world. Because of him, britain is seeing real food again, specialy in schools. From fake fruit and processed jelly and white bread (because of course, anytime you ask a child what they want on a survey, they will pick jelly over an whole orange) to real foods like salads, fresh fruits, delicious muffins, real juice. makes me happy!

• A comment on Talk: Philippe Starck: Design and destiny

  Nov 10 2008: Fascinating talk because of his honesty and shamelessness. In order to succeed in explaining with his own words complex philosophical subjects, he just acted on his genius and creativity. It was natural, original and hard to deliver to a very accepting audience of more advanced speakers.
