On 1 Aug 2009, we had the 3rd session of the Cambridge University Mentorship seminar series 2009. Dominic delivered a presentation on the basics of being a management consultant, together with Karen, Herbert and Dexter, we shared with the attendants stories, tips and more about the industry.

I went to a lunch seminar at Cyberport organized by iProA, the topic was on "Cloud Computing Opportunity", the speak was Scott Houston, CEO of Intergrid, an New Zealand company. Key take away, Cloud computing is going to be big and bandwidth to support cloud is critical!

I have recently joined the Internet Professional Association (iProA) which is a well organized and well represented industry association representing the interests of the internet companies in Hong Kong. I was also invited to become an executive member, a new challenge that I gladly take on.

We had a lunch meeting with Mr. Alan Siu, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (Communications & Technology). During the lunch we talked about how the government can help the companies to protect and promote their creation and to commercialize some of the ideas generated from Universities, and how we are narrowing the gap of digital divide in Hong Kong.

We had a book club session, there were 8 of us and we shared the following books:

Business Cycles: History, Theory and Investment Reality - Lars Tvede
The four-hour workweek - Timothy Ferriss
A pale view of Hill - Kazuo Ishiguro
中國大歷史 - 黃仁宇

關於跑步，我說的其實是? - 村上春樹

Wonderful event, always fun to hear about what other people are reading and why they like the book.
