The Robin in our Garden

by Martin · Jun 30, 2009

One of my favourite things to do in the last couple weeks or so has been to watch the robin who hangs out in our garden all the time. He doesn’t seem to mind sharing the backyard with Lori and me, even when I make noise using the barbecue. The only time he doesn’t like being here is when orange cat shows up on her daily patrol through the neighbourhood backyards. We also had a blue jay come by a few times. But never when I had the camera within reach. Hope he comes back again too.

Surprise trip to Germany

Surprise trip to Germany

by Martin · Jun 8, 2009

Lori “conspired” with my colleagues to send me on a surprise birthday trip to Germany. In “Amazing Race” style, I followed instructions from 16 envelopes that took me to different places in Germany, where friends and family had prepared different surprises for me. It was such an awesome week, and I am so lucky to have such amazing colleagues, friends and family. Oh, and Lori is the best wife ever!

Here are some photos from my week in Germany. Click on the thumbnails for the Flickr galleries.

Guter Führungsstil

by Martin · Dec 29, 2008

WELT ONLINE: Haben Sie eine feste Strategie, nach der Sie Ihre Mitarbeiter führen?
Hopp: Die hatte ich bei der SAP. Begünstigt dadurch, dass wir sehr klein angefangen haben. Da hat sich ein Führungsstil herauskristallisiert, der – Sie mögen mich belächeln – auf Menschlichkeit basiert. Darauf, zu den Mitarbeitern Vertrauen zu haben. Und wenn sie mal Fehler machen, nicht gleich das große Theater anzuzetteln. Nur wer nichts wagt, macht keine Fehler. Das hat der Firma sehr gut getan. […]

For the upcoming StartupEmpire conference in Toronto, we shot a few short videos with Mike McDerment, CEO of FreshBooks. In the videos, he talks about his experience as a startup entrepreneur here in Canada.

The first one is about blogs and marketing: All you need is a blog to market your product? You’re so wrong. More videos next week.
