Thank you for the wonderful tatoo! What do you think, should I make it permanent?
Around the world in 240 days
Friday, July 14th, 2006“Around the world in 240 days – free.”
Ten UW students are chosen every year for an all-expenses-paid trip around the globe. They don’t have to attend classes overseas. Nor do they have to write a report or give a speech when they return. All they have to do is enjoy.
“I almost cried when I found out,” Lee said of winning the fellowship. “It’s a wonderful chance of a lifetime.”
UW alumnus and investment adviser David Bonderman established the fellowship that bears his name.
One guess who found that… yup that’s all Meagan.
In praise of Sneakers (1992)
Friday, July 7th, 2006I always like movies about business (The Secret of My Succes, anyone?), especially the business of technology. They’re fun to critique and most have a couple of very serious falsehoods.
But my favorite in the genre has to be Sneakers, with Robert Redford. First, it’s about crypto, which is cool. Second, it has espionage and intrigue and spies and all that crap. Robert Redford is the good guy. And last but not least, it’s a total liberal fantasy like West Wing. At the end, the RNC goes bankrupt and Greenpeace is flush with cash. What’s not to like about that.
If it’s not one thing it’s another
Friday, July 7th, 2006The good news: your company’s annual worldwide sales meeting is in Paris.
The bad news: the meeting is over a weekend (will need precious vacation time for anything fun), and your hotel is cultural f’ing wasteland Disneyland Paris, 45 minutes outside the city.
