Jesus Encinar is the CEO and founder of the successful Spanish Real Estate website Idealista. He was at the conference which was an excellent opportunity to catch up with him. He is a charming, highly intelligent and smart guy. Marijn and I took him to our favorite thai restaurant in Berlin Mitte and we had a great evening. Hope to see and speak to him more often.

Powells' endorsement was not a huge surprise but his statement about his endorsement was excellent. I really liked this segment: "I'm also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of
the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, "Well,
you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is, he
is not a Muslim, he's a Christian.  He's always been a Christian.  But
the really right answer is, what if he is?  Is there something wrong
with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not
America.  Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old
Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president?
"
How true!
