Halloweenie!
I guess I’m a bit behind on this, but my own two cents on the whole J.K. Rowling’s outing of Dumbledore of the Harry Potter series is… well, it’s the feeling of why bring it up (besides for publicity purposes of selling the last HP book as much as possible)? Is it actually relevant? If [...]

Seoul
Staying at the JW Marriott in Seoul. Nice city and a nice drive in from Seoul/Incheon airport. Very “american-like” infrastructure. Cold now, but a nice cold…. made me think of States. Big day long meeting tomorrow. Going to be a long one.

Last Weekend before Halloween
A spacial anomaly being the relic of Big Bang? Yes, the universe is weird. I watched this past Monday’s “How I Met Your Mother” – funny! Future Future Ted tells his kids how he dated a woman – whose name he can’t remember, so he calls her “Blah Blah”; so we watch the gang hang [...]

Miscellaneous Stuff
Disclaimer: this post was done awhile back, posted now when I’ve nothing else to bring up, and done when evidently I wasn’t interested in doing anything in particular… Find out your Harry Potter personality at LiquidGeneration! Thanks to the Test Pattern on MSNBC.com: Irritating game: The Color Test. Plus this: What American accent do you [...]

Disappointing Weekend eating, immersive weekday conferencing
Wow, what a weekend of eating strikeouts! U-choose noodle shop: new $1. Per item on soup noodles store on Mott Street replacing the long vacant Hop Kee. location. Good side: restored the historic Loonie’s Coffee Shop sign. Downside: by the time you get through the loine, you’ve picked up $9 of toppings. While they have [...]

This Week…
Barack Obama and Dick Cheney… are related. Well, geez, if we go far back enough, everyone’s related. Just scary to think about though – being related (distantly anyway) to Cheney. I’m sure Cheney’s a nice guy and all that; I just don’t agree with his politics. I did it – I signed up for National [...]

Please save the date. We’ve started down the path of booking vendors. Restaurant Run-Down Lantern on Montague Street: [...]

Weekend!
Congratulations to Al Gore (and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) on winning the Nobel Peace Prize! Now comes the (continued) hard part of somehow trying to save the world from itself. Saturday: Friend and I went to Tea and Sympathy. So worth the wait. Clotted cream and scones. Earl Grey tea. Welsh rarebit. [...]

Singapore Sling
End of week 1 in a two week company training course – leadership and strategy. Staying at the Rasa Sentosa Singapore. Not much time to look around. Full-on days from 8:30am – 6:30pm. We had a fantastic lecturer/facilitator, Bill Fischer, who happened to be a Yankee’s fan. Had fun checking the Yankee’s series during the [...]

TGIF!!!
Aww. Say it ain’t so, NBC – leaving Burbank? To me, Burbank is synonymous with NBC! You know, you got to hand it to the Vatican – being an institution with so many years under the belt, it probably has a certain… perspective, to say the least. After all, their Secret Archives is now finally [...]
