Adventure to make the world less boring
This must have been the most hilarious website I’ve seen recently and definitely the most disturbing to read while being confined between the 4 walls of my office: http://www.theadventurists.com
The idea of Adventurist is simple. Take the smallest and least practical vehicles available in an entire continent and throw it into a charity race at some of the most ridiculous and least hospitable terrain on our good earth. Brilliant! And incredibly dangerous. But I love it. The races come in different shapes and forms: the Mongol Rally, the Rickshaw Run, the Africa Rally and the Mototaxi Junket. Woohaa!
Corporate Fools needed to save MBA curriculum
A paragraphg in a recent article of The Economist on “how business schools should change change”, recalled a conversation I had with Dustin, on the relevance of Corporate Fools as official role descriptions in large organizations.
“Business schools need to make more room for people who are willing to bite the hands that feed them: to prick business bubbles, expose management fads and generally rough up the most feted managers. Kings once employed jesters to bring them down to earth. It’s time for business schools to do likewise.”
Now, that’s a powerful call for the creation of Corporate Fools! Dustin stumbled upon an initial job description written by certain D. Verne Morland. Fantastic stuff! Take a look at here.

Up!
Posted by andries on Jun 19, 2009 in Fun
I couldn’t miss the chance to try out a cinema experience in Bangkok, so Ratika – an MC CEED in Thailand, originally from Singapore/India – and me ended up going to one of the fanciest malls of the city and buy a ticket for “Up”, the latest 3D animation movie of Pixar. Though I didn’t expect much, I was in for a surprise!
It’s such a cute story, great entertainment, and overall very well animated. Besides it was long time since I last watched a 3D.
The story is simple. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old boy & Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.
See the trailer for more!
