I’m very happy to announce that after being almost five years in the works, I’m officially graduating from the University of North Dakota with my Masters of Business Administration on Friday, August 3rd. When I first started my MBA classes back in 2002, it had been just over a year since I graduated from UND […]
I’ve been able to put more time into my independent study over the last few weeks. While that’s plenty of work for me, I’ve decided to do a little experiment during the process: dump Microsoft Word and instead write it online using Google Docs. So far, I like Google Docs. A lot. I love being […]
For the last four years (holy crap, I thought it was just three), I’ve been chipping away at my MBA degree at UND. While I finished my final course last summer, I still have one thing left: my independent study. I actually started working on this final project in the spring of 2005, but delays […]
After recently listening to On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee and taking the Imagination course with Dr. Stamp here at UND, I’ve become fascinated with the human brain and how we actually think and work. Because of this, I get really excited when I come across some different way of working that takes […]
Somehow, I’ve managed to knock off a couple of books on my reading list in the last couple of months, dispite the fact that I’m always busy with homework and projects for the three classes I’m taking. Thankfully, the end is in sight: Only one test, one presentation, and two papers left until my semester […]
Casey and I are at home tonight, just relaxing. We’re watching the Fighting Sioux play the Gophers in the Frozen Four right now. So far, it’s been a great game. We have a small buffer built up on our Tivo, so we’re not quite watching live TV. A few minutes ago we heard a big […]
Although it seems that all I’ve been doing the last week is linking to Seth Godin blog entries (which may well be true), this post from today was too good not to comment on. Talking about the 119 Harvard Business School applicants rejected because they “hacked” a website to find the status of their application, […]
I just got my butt kicked this morning on my Intermediate Accounting II exam. I honestly don’t know what happened – I read the chapters, did all the assigned problems, and spent the weekend and the last two nights studying my brains out by doing and redoing both the assigned problems and the problems in […]
In case anyone was wondering, yes, I’m still alive. For some reason this week seems especially busy, so I haven’t had time to post anything yet. Needless to say, things and going great! Between work, my MBA classes, and my own reading list, I feel like I’m absorbing more knowledge now than in any other […]
I’ve been a bad blogger! I just realized that today is exactly one month since my last post here. Needless to day, I’m still alive. Looking back, November was pretty busy, although I didn’t realize it as it was happening. Here’s a quick summary of what I was up to: Developing a major web-based application […]
