Car bumpers are stupid

I was in a fender bender last weekend. An SUV backed up into my Accord denting the hood with its bumper. Question: what’s the point of car bumpers if they don’t meet at a standard height?

Life After Grad School

My MBA program ends in four weeks. In no particular order, a short list of my immediate plans:

  • Read a book of my own choosing
  • Help myself to a hell of a nice bottle of wine
  • Once again go to the gym, snowboard and rock climb
  • Nothing, absolutely nothing, just sit there and have no cares
  • Sell a few textbooks (thanks Bree!)
  • Play the guitar again (what did I do with it, come to think of it?)
  • Revamp this site- long overdue

If Steve Jobs Never Returns…

I know a few Apple haters. You probably do too. They dislike that Apple is “closed,” “elitist,” “think they know best,” or otherwise. I can appreciate those opinions and why they exist. I can also understand the thought that Steve’s recent departure (maybe forever?) is the beginning of the end for Apple. I understand and appreciate all of these ideas, I do. But I always come back to one conclusion, however subjective it may sound:

As an Apple customer, I’ve been the beneficiary of the best computer products ever made in their time- innovative, easy, elegant. Apple detractors, on the contrary and on principle, put up with all manner of utter crap for an entire decade.

The Big Picture

I love Boston.com’s Big Picture and want to bring it to the University of Denver. We already get a stream of student supplied photos, but we hide them behind our password protected internal system. A true shame, but hey, new year’s resolutions…
