The core part of my MBA program involves two major projects. The first one is a business simulation using something caled Capsim, which we are partway through, and the second one is to write a business plan. But before writing a business plan, one needs to have an idea for a business! This is where […]
Without even noticing, I tweeted my 10,000th tweet today! Had I realized how close I was to this milestone, I might have made it something more significant than: In my defence, I was having a Twitter conversation with Cath, wherein I suggested that the number of grant applications she’s working on was crazily insane, and […]
As I mentioned a little while ago, last week and this week at work are jammed packed. I have so many meetings that my meetings have meetings! Happily, though, I’m in the home stretch – only two more workdays in 2011! The lion’s share of the webinars/meetings/workshops are done too – I have one meeting […]

The adventuring started when I greeted Dr. Dan, who was arriving on a flight from Toronto, in the manner most befitting his arrival: We then proceeded to acquire a coffee for Dr. Dan, who had […]
It’s Thanksgiving weekend, so I thought I’d give y’all something to be thankful for. Specifically, I’m giving you this link to the latest episode of the S&M Rants on which yours truly makes a guest appearance. You may recall the S&M Rants from such blog postings as My New Favourite Podcast. I haven’t actually listened to […]
This is my 1977th blog posting. Which is significant, of course, because I was born in 1977. In preparation for this momentous occasion, I started writing a posting with a list of interesting things that happened in 1977 – pretty much picking and choosing those things that caught my attention on the list on the Wikipedia […]
