		<description><![CDATA[I probably should've written this post a while ago to kind of clarify where I am writing these days. For anyone who hasn't yet noticed, I'm not writing for TechCrunch anymore. And it has nothing to do with what's been going on with AOL in the US - although, the fact that Michael Arrington, MG Siegler, Paul Carr, Sarah Lacy and Heather Harde no longer work there perhaps makes it a little less sexy. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1403&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, I was hosted a track on creating a cool company at <a href="http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2011/" target="_blank">Gotocon</a> (a developer conference) in Aarhus, Denmark. I was rather impressed by the geeky crowd, most of who paid around €2,500 per person to attend the 3-day conference. The price tag and the size definitely made me think of <a href="http://leweb.net/" target="_blank">LeWeb</a> - although most of the topics covered were way more technical. But if there was one thing that really caught my attention more than anything else, it was one of the questions that was asked by an attendee.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1385&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can tell, it took me a while to decide whether or not to write something about Steve Jobs. At first, I thought it was perhaps a little cliché. After all, everyone is writing about Steve right now (yes, we’re on a first-name basis) – my words would simply get lost in the crowd. But then again, how could I not? Steve is one of America’s most celebrated modern visionaries – and the footprint he left will forever mark the development of technology, culture, business and much more. And on a much more personal note, he is one of the most inspirational people I have ever discovered.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1364&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's funny - one of the more popular posts that I've written on this blog was the <a href="http://techbaguette.com/2010/04/19/13-hot-french-entrepreneurs-under-30/" target="_blank">13 hot French entrepreneurs under 30</a> list. It still gets hits and it was published over a year ago. So I figure it's time to give it a little update for 2 reasons: first, because some of those people are no longer under 30 and also because there are definitely new names to add to the list! Yes, my friends, there has definitely been a dramatic increase in the number of young entrepreneurs in France. So in no particular order, here comes some names that I feel should be added to the list.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1345&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually when I tell people I'm doing a Masters degree in International Political Economy, they look at me funny and follow-up with a "Huh, I guess that doesn't really have much to do with tech." And for a long time, I felt this way too. The IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, sovereign debt, currency crises, oil shocks, etc. didn't really seem to overlap much with startups and innovation. But then again, startups and innovation are at the heart of economic development and growth. Therefore it's almost impossible not to draw connections between the two fields. And many of the reasons that we commonly use to explain the differences in startup success across the globe all rest on classic economic, political and social reasoning. So for this post, I'm kind of thrilled to be able to blog about a subject that has to do directly with my Masters dissertation (which is on institutional differences effecting venture capital success in the US and Europe).<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1311&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a topic that is not necessarily France-related but has been on my mind for a while now. It's a bit of a difficult subject - I want to be sure that I don't offend any friends or family that could be concerned by my opinion. And hopefully what I say will not come as a surprise to any of them, hopefully they will have already considered what I am about to say and the implications of the content they publish featuring their children. But for anyone that hasn't, well, it's definitely something to think about.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1306&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I contemplated for a long time whether or not I should write something about this. After all, the (most likely unemployed and sexually frustrated) man who has been amusing himself by writing dirty comments on my blog is simply seeking attention. Therefore, by writing something about him, I’m probably doing exactly what he wants.
<h1>But that’s not the point.</h1>
The point is that for whatever reason some jerk has been writing dozens of horribly inappropriate comments on my blog, using either “Dominique Strauss-Kahn” or “Michael Arrington” as his name. Most of you have probably already seen them, but if not here’s a sample of some of the comments I’ve received:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techbaguette.com&amp;blog=11027485&amp;post=1292&amp;subd=techbaguette&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, as many of you may already know, Cass Phillips and I are teaming up to launch the first European edition of the FailCon in Paris later this year. It&#8217;s a conference that Cass started in the Bay Area so that entrepreneurs could share stories of failure and how to recover/avoid it. Hot topic.
