My Interview on MSC Grant
Who should apply for a grant? MEL: People with vision, passion & commitment to take their technology related idea from the drawing board to a successful reality- no matter what it takes. (And I would add, some business sense will be a pre-requisite) JEN: Anyone with an innovative idea, then figure out a way to make it work and grow in the real world scenario. Innovative means new and you have to find a niche where your business can serve. Niche doesn’t have to be small, it can be a market where there are needs but not yet served. You don’t have to be a tech super genius (as we are both not) and you don’t even have to be a super businessman (you don’t need this grant if you are). However, you need to have a good balance of tech and business senses. JEN: On a personal level, passion (about your idea) and perseverance (to see it from idea to execution) are very important. If you think I just decribed you, go for it! Even if you don’t think your idea is that great, go for it anyway! Never hurts to try.

If the apps work on my phone, it’ll work better on your newer, fancier...

An article I wrote for friedbeef.com. Enjoy! Have you sometimes wondered how much longer conventional TV would be useful to us? It just dawned upon me 3 days ago that was the first time I switched on the TV in 2 months! Don’t get me wrong but I do watch TV shows and movies, it’s just that not on TV. In this era of media streaming and user created content, TV pales in comparison because of: Fixed airtime. We don’t like missing any episodes or rushing somewhere where there is a TV just to watch a programme (although that can be fun but very impractical most of the time) Loads of...
