Weekly posting

I have been super busy with work and school these couple of weeks. I think the Innovation and Risk class has wrung me out more than any other (that includes Accounting and Finance). The paper is done. For some stupid reason I did not ask for help on the budgets from people who are close to me and know a lot of stuff about budgeting and feasibility until almost the last moment. I think my brain was fried or something. The only thing that is left is the Disruptive innovation presentation. What my team and I decided to do is to create an online service for aspiring movie makers, basically trying to change the way that independent films are made and distributed. If it ever comes to anything remember, you heard it here first. Oh, yeah. Lots already has been written about this years Superbowl. One thing to mention is that I really really wanted to see Favre against Manning. Two super QBs. I have nothing agains Brees, he's having a season of a lifetime, and what he did for Saints is simpl...

A New Gadget?

Once a year, after my birthday I buy myself a gadget. This time around I thought it would be a laptop. But after looking around my office at home, I realized that I don't need a laptop. I still have my PC and I like it. What comes next? I've been a little jealous of my wife's Sony PRS 505, which I gave her as a present (never presented her with a gadget before).

Kid speak

This week is full of 5 Year Old zingers. - Daddy, Mama needs to learn how to knit. She'll be a grandmother. Grandmother's knit. - I ate my lunch today. I am helping everybody. I am being good. And why I am doing that? This one is Russian, so I beg pardon of my English speaking audience: - Я загадала животное. Влюблюд!

A ride on the L

Yesterday I did something I haven't done in at least 5 years. I took The L. For the office party we were having int he loop I took the blue line from Cumberland to Clark and Lake. I had a book with me, and you know something, I think I miss being able to read a book while the train takes you where you need to go.

Kid speak

As The Awesome Wife was driving over a bridge, the 5 Year Old yelled - Mommy - I am high! This is the old one, but I am putting it here for record's sake. - I wish mommy had 10 arms. Some to eat, some to work, and some to give me dessert.

Sunshine

There is no reason for this post. Today the sun came out of the clouds. It has been a month since I've seen sunshine in Chicago. At the very least none this year.
