The Low-Coste Innovation Blog welcomes YOU


After low-cost airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet ...) comes "low-Coste"... information. Welcome to this modest blog I started in 2005. Some of my readers have recently christened this long-lasting, clumsy attempt at e-writing of mine "THE LOW-COSTE INNOVATION BLOG".

Jean-Michel Billaut, famous French @nthropologist and Net economy geek : "There are times when I think there are basically two kinds of people in my country ... A '1.0' Top-Management, frantically clinging to and stuck in the past and in (bio)conservatism... and a '2.0' startup ecosystem... building... building slowly... towards the future..."

Catherine Coste, Marketing Assistant, Writer and Story Artist (movies, musicals), a Tim Burton fan (whose films are dealing with death, like this modest Blog - and sometimes we just hate it!), a Wellywood fan (the new Hollywood?)... I come from France (hopefully from that "2.0" part thing) and travel a lot: New-Zealand, Asia (Malaysia, Singapore), UK...

A death and health geek and travel buff of some kind, I love meeting new faces. People around me say I'm all about creativity and marketing, new ideas and sustainable everything.

My favorite book for 2013, year of the water snake? "Damn Good Advice (for people with talent!)" by George Lois. My family lives in Malaysia (plenty of opportunities for me to improve my Mandarin Chinese!), in NY and in Germany (I'm a German native speaker)...

James Cameron plans to start shooting the Avatar sequels (and prequel) in 2013 in NZ! How fantastic is that??

All you need to know about me (author of this blog)...

I live in New-Zealand (Wellington and Auckland), where I work as a (Wellywood) scenarist and I do have a passion for trees and forests... and books... My family are scattered around the world, which I guess makes me a frequent traveller (thank you Emirates Airlines!): NY, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh), Monaco and Provence, Berlin (well I haven't been in Germany for a while, actually...)

I'm just another passionate story teller (plenty of us all around the world)... Love telling other people's story (mine is too ordinary)... Surrounded by geeks, I do have plenty to tell... Imagine that Indian guy from "Life of Pi" - er actually I'm only that narrator guy - living with Big Bang Theory's Leonard and Sheldon...

French-born; in love with languages... and words... My favorites languages are English and oral Mandarin Chinese... I'll need another life to learn how to write Chinese characters... well I do recognize a few, but... Ended up as a Post-Graduate in German literature just because I was fascinated by books by Thomas Mann and other German "romantic" authors...

My favorite obsessions:
- browsing bookshops all around the world, in megacities and smaller towns... taking snapshots of books with my iPhone (book covers, that is) until I'm told: "Please, no more photos..." - or, on a couple of occasions: "Thank you for loving books so much": Blackwell's in Oxford, UK and Kinokuniya Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, Mr. B's Emporium of Reading Delights in Bath, UK, or Librairie le Phénix, Paris, Whitcoulls in Auckland-Henderson...
- listening to soundtracks of "Musicals"... Like "Memphis", "The Phantom of the Opera", "Love Never Dies", "Once", "The Book of Mormon", "Monkey King", "Les Miz", "Chicago", "Wicked"... I'm fascinated by interpretes, and by TV shows on innovation, like Disney's Phineas and Ferb...

Most of all, I like sharing and positive thinking... Well, that's all folks!
