Observations

On the Apprentice, Donald Trump’s right-hand man and general counsel George “Determinator” Ross is a ’53 grad of my law school. What a great, but high pressure GC gig that must be? My DVR failed to record this week’s episode because it recorded the competing Enterprise. Have to say I rather watch the Apprentice this [...]

It’s almost the end of the week…

I’ve been quite busy; you’d think that with the President’s day holiday on Monday that a short week wouldn’t be so busy. NY Times’ Quotation of the Day: “We are not going away. We are staying together, unified, all of us.” – Howard Dean, M.D. Nice words, Governor; easier said than done, of course. I’ll [...]

Taiwan the end is near

Well, only a couple more days left in Taiwan. It’s been a really great trip. Very busy all around. Met a lot of people, business associates of AJ’s as well as family members I didn’t know I had until about 2 weeks ago. More or less recovered from my stomach problems and back to eating [...]

Roses Recap

He shoots, he scores! I got the roses from James Weir Florist in Brooklyn Heights instead of at Chelsea Market. Turns out that I got the roses for the same price that I would have gotten from Chelsea Market. These were no bodega flowers — these were the real thing, a dozen long stems in [...]

Picking vice presidents? and other things

Today’s NY Times’ Quotation of the Day: “If anybody tells you they wouldn’t be interested in being vice president, they’re not telling you the truth.” – SENATOR JOHN BREAUX, Democrat of Louisiana. Nice thought, Senator Breaux. Be sure to check out the fascinating corresponding article too. See, there are reasons why I try to avoid [...]

More outsourcing

Jobs Lost Abroad: Host of New Causes for an Old Problem Mr. Neustrup a Silicon Valley worker is quoted: “It’s great for these developing countries to move up and adopt this technology,” he said. “The trouble for us in the U.S. is that we’re at the top of the ladder getting squeezed. And I’m not [...]

Asian Americans and Politics 2004

Asian-Americans Note Issues Central to Them for Elections So what are they? =YC

Friday the 13th…

The day before V-Day… Some ABA E-Journal referred articles that I thought were interesting: – should the so-called professionals be exempt from consumer protection laws, because they’re self-regulated? NJ says yes, and sent the issue back to the legislature to say otherwise? – “ABA Says States Should Decide Who Can Marry” – seems like the [...]

Comments on cellphones and stereotypes

Blog referenced: http://www.triscribe.com/wp/b2trackback.php/175 Cellphone story, …. reminds me of the day in high school where 2 cars dragged down the main stretch of road at 3am in the morning. Drivers were drunk and the cars bumped each other and went careening off into the big massive oak trees lining the road. Heads were decapitated, brains [...]

This & That, Platanos & Collard Greens

Catchup blog: Saw the off-Bway play Platanos & Collard Greens yesterday. One of my friends is in it from law school, and was a lot more complex than I expected. Recommended. The teams were reshuffled into co-ed teams on the Apprentice after 4 successive losses by the boy’s team. The two companies were each given [...]
