Paris Basketball v JL Bourg

LNB Betclic Elite - Semi Finals, game 1

Went to this game with my cousin, who now works for PSG. Earlier this year he had invited me to attend a game at the Parc des Princes so it was only natural to get him to join me for a game in my second home, Adidas Arena.

Final Score: 100-89 — game 2 in 2 days

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

According to Dealroom’s Global Tech Ecosystem Index 2025, Paris just overtook London as the #1 startup hub in Europe — and is now fourth globally behind Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston. While London still brings in more cash, the City of Light is growing faster in unicorns, AI talent, and enterprise value.

Also: fairly surprised this wasn’t technically already the case given what I know of the French Tech ecosystem, but I guess capital/language/culture used to make it easier for London up until now.

This week, 300 French organizations - including startups, public bodies, corporates and tech heavyweights dropped a “manifesto” for European tech independence.
The goal? Break free from the grip of U.S. and Chinese tech superpowers and reclaim control over French data, infrastructure, and destiny. (…)
Think: a European small business act, sovereign AI infrastructure, a unified cloud, and better startup-corporate matchmaking platforms.

Monocle & Jony Ive

5/22/25

Since visiting the Monocle café last weekend, I’ve been re-inspired by the space, but also the magazine, its radio, and its editorial pieces. I’m seriously considering subscribing again.

So as I make up my mind, it was a joy to discover this article on Jony Ive, LoveFrom, published on the day of possibly the biggest announcement in about a decade, in the Tech Industry

Auto-generated description: The webpage features an interview article about Jony Ive, along with a cityscape image, an illustration of a man, and advertisements for Monocle Radio and a watch.
