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 […]
So last week I had a bit of a panic about this whole MBA thing. Thoughts like “What am I getting myself into?” were followed up by “I’m getting in waaaay over my head!” and “You know what would be a lot easier than doing this? Not doing this.” And then I realized that I […]
Hey, remember that time I said that a government agency wants to give me bucketloads of money so that I can get an MBA and that I needed to write the GMAT and then apply to the program and then hopefully I’d actually get in so I can have the aforementioned bucketloads of money? Yeah, […]
Today, my friend Erika defended her PhD! You may remember Erika from such adventurers as getting published in Science, her 29.758904th birthday, and several 12 Bars of Christmas.

And so the blogging streak of 2011 ends, a mere 42 days into the year. I blame BC Ferries for not having wifi on the Queen of Alberni. And then I blame the fine glass of wine that was waiting for me when I got to Rachel’s place, which put all thoughts of blogging out […]
While updating my CV today, I discovered that a paper I wrote ((based on the conference presentation I did in New Brunswick, way back when)), which had been accepted for publication a gajillion years ago, is finally in print. Click on the image if you want to read all about teaching transdisciplinarity in a discipline-centred […]
So I’m teaching a new course at the Justice Institute starting today – a online statistics course! Clearly, hanging out with Dr. Dan, statistician extraordinaire, has rubbed off on me. Also, almost everyone I’ve told that I’m going to be teaching at the Justice Institute has said, “The Justice League?” I wonder if I can get […]
