"Pouty Iverson"
Pouty Iverson shows why March Madness puts NBA to shame:
There could be no more telling juxtaposition of events than to have a petulant NBA millionaire throw a fit of ego on the very day that hundreds of college players, from mighty Kentucky to little Liberty, are preparing to throw their heart and soul into a series of games for which they will not be paid a cent. (All right, maybe a few of them are getting a buck or two under the table, but let's drop the cynicism for a moment, shall we?)
I don't have any skin in the game this year - I haven't had the time to follow college ball.

Microsoft and the EU
Europe Supports Antitrust Ruling Against Microsoft: "the European Commission is expected to demand that Microsoft sell two versions of Windows to manufacturers of personal computers — one of them with Media Player stripped out."
Why do regulators continually focus on bundling like this? It's irrelevant by now and just about the least egregious of Micro$oft's offenses. Not to mention MS is right to complain that it 'hampers innovation.'

Webvan
I have a case on Webvan due for the first day of my operations class. How ridiculous is that? It seems like more of a marketing case than an operations case to me. The company estimated the online grocery market at $3.5 billion by 2002, that was their big mistake.

Getting bored
Breean and I are both feeling a lack of motivation with our web sites. It's happened before and I usually recover after about a week. We'll see how she reacts.
