Pondering....

You know what's interesting. Why is it that kids can laugh (not smile) before they can speak or do very little besides relective motor movements? What is the congnative process behind my 4-Months-Old laughter when I dance around her like an idiot?

She doesn't know what dance is. She doesn't know what an idiot is. Yet the combination of both brings forward an unstoppable mirth in her.

Just thinking out loud...

New class

I have started this blog initially to share my experiences as an MBA student. I have realized that the last post about school was more than two months ago. The reason for that was that the class was boring. Seriously, I thought I could learn something new about IT Management. Nothing. All of the topics were familiar to me, and I could hold up discussions without even reading the material. I will see what the grade is going to be, but it certainly will have very little to do with the material, and more with how I wrote my papers.

This new class is promising to be very interesting. The instructor is an accomplished entrepreneur and a Harvard Business School graduate, whatever that means. In a single session he completely destroyed our comprehension of business strategies, a class we have taken only a year ago. He has also put a dent in our believe that "betas" are the most important things when evaluating investment risks.

He also wrote a book:

Create Marketplace Disruption


I Have left with three thoughts on that first sessions that I liked.

Risk is ignorance management.
Companies who concentrate only on the core business will fail.
Acquisition does not perpetuate innovation.

What stars can tell

As I walked outside the house yesterday evening, I glanced up to the sky. What I saw was the Orion constellation rising up in the east. And then the realization that the Fall is upon us has settled inside my brain. Strangely enough, it's not the leaves turning or the colds that does it. It's this strange nostalgic event. I never look for it, I never expect it, it always comes very suddenly.

You see, growing up, me and my brother were quite the Astronomy buffs. We've read books and could name and recognize more than a dozen constellations. I have always wanted my own little telescope. That of course went by as I grew up and became interested in other things. But this events always brings a flow of childhood memories (more like a trickle considering the ability of my brain to concentrate and remember things).

I couldn't recognize the Big Dipper if it stared right in my face these days. One thing I could never loose is the ability to identify Orion's belt, and a memory from an anstronomy book that the constellations only comes during the fall in the Northern hemisphere.

Halloween

Not much of a post today. Lot's of things to do.

This is us doing Halloween.



The Awesome Wife and The Baby as a little flower.



The Five Year Old as a pink poodle.

Are kids really that advanced?

As I was doing some Brain Quest Grade 1 cards with a Five Year Old (the cards are designed for 6-7 year olds, but she aced the previous ones already) we came upon the following question: "What runs on batteries a desktop or a laptop?"

She of course did not know, but a question popped into my head. Would they know? Should they know? She knows what a computer is. She also is quite proficient in using the mouse and knows her way around the Webkinz world. We also have plenty of laptops and desktops in our house. To her it's only computers.


The difference between a desktop and a laptop? I am not sure about this.

Dangerous Animal Part 2

I said that I wasn't going to be satisfied with the header image. Here's an updated one. I've decided to model in 3D all the things in my interest(few for now). One of the more curious thing is the Enterprise model (it's not mine, was available for download at TurboSquid. I was always more of the TNG person. I think, time permitting, I will model NC-1701D. The blueprints are available on the internet.

I will of course add more things as I go forth.
