- Memorial Weekend is but a memory as SVW swings into gear with an interview with Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO of Vivisimo, the dark horse search engine company that is fast carving out a solid business in enterprise markets. Interview coming up this week along with a white paper from Mr Perez on why behavioral marketing is barking up the wrong tree.

- I chat with John Kish, CEO and President of Wyse Technology, yet another savvy buyout from Garnett & Helfrich Capital, the Silicon Valley mid-sized VC buyout firm that's going places. Find out why thin computing is burying the desktop. It's the economics (and security.)

- I catch dinner with Dan Berg, CTO of Sun Services. It's been about six months since we last spoke and Mr Berg tells of life in Prague and the innovation bubbling up in Central Europe. "Silicon Valley is still the Mecca," he says.

- Also, exciting news on SVW Leader Sponsors, some announcements coming up! Who says bloggers don't have a business model :-)
