Several varied topics: first, a programming note. I don't know how many - if any - readers of browncow are readers in the 'newsreader' sense, but if you are so inclined you may now subscribe to browncow electronically at "http://browncow.tripod.com/rss.xml". Google has a free reader that takes a few moments to get setup but is competent (which, coming from Google, is something of a letdown).
Next, Mohit pointed out last evening at the conclusion of STRAT 672 Advanced Competitive Analysis that you never see 'finance guys' in strategy classes. It seems these folks are totally focused on ratios and multiples and acronyms; ironic since everyone in the strategy classes is really there to make sure they are capable of keeping the finance guys happy. Mohit pointed out the myopic death spiral this puts business into... food for thought, perhaps.
Ross's Sodexho cafe had a big pot of cafeteria style chili brewing today so I had lunch at school and reminisced about chili for lunch at school. For whatever reason I really like mediochre chili piled with cheese and onions. The whole thing just turns into a gooey mess that your plastic spoon can barely scoop out of a styrofoam bowl. I wish I were kidding, but it just really hits the spot sometimes.
This afternoon Moosejaw founder will be giving a lecture on campus to spread 'the madness' that is Moosejaw. I'm excited to hear real stories and tall tales of an entrepreneur who started his own sporting goods chain. (Not that I'd be into that in any way.) Plus, there are probably going to be goofy pictures, funny quotes, and swag.
