Sam's fourth b-school lesson
Despite whatever you might think about a particular situation, irony never works over email. Don't even think about it - nothing good will ever result.

Napster free to Cornell students
Now this is the kind of email I like to get:
This year, thanks to your Student Assembly, you can improve your music collection by 750,000+ songs. For free. From now till the end of May '05, Cornell is offering all registered students free -- yes, FREE -- access to Napster.Don't think it works with my iPod but I'll give it a shot. Here's the news.

Gmail invites
In case anyone's interested I have a few Gmail invites to give away. It's way better than Yahoo or Hotmail.

Last weekend before school
We saw a ton of movies this weekend.
Garden State with the guy from Scrubs and Natalie Portman. Let's face it, with those two you can hardly go wrong. Not much else going for it though.
The Bourne Supremacy. Exactly what you would expect but well done. I liked it, of course.
Before Sunset, the sequel to Before Sunrise from 1995. If you liked the first, go see this. If not, rent Sunrise then see Sunset. They're both very charming and always made me think of Breean in Paris.
My wife Breean disappeared yesterday. Someone else unlocked our front door and came into the house claiming to be her. This is what she looks like. It may not be Breean but I think she's pretty cute anyway.

The wedding was wonderful & Mexico was fabulous. I hope everybody else had such a great time. Flying home to Ithaca on the red eye tonight.

Don't know how I'm going to be able to present tomorrow
The world is a very lonely place when you're at the office working at 1 am. Music helps but it doesn't quite cut it.

Special guest post on Wal-Mart News
Oh yeah, and there's on other thing I thought you'd be interested in, but
this has to do with Canada's way of handling Walmart. I figured it would be
a good posting for you blog.
