Re: Ha. I was just researching MBA schools

Lol, Dilbert is hilarious.

Anyways, I think MBAs are losing their luster. My girlfriends fund won't even hire anyone with an MBA because they believe they aren't creative enough.

Good to see you are using iMovie - it takes an awful lot of the complexity out of it. There is a great story about the development of iMovie (that I think I recall hearing on Macbreak) - where it was acquired from a third party by Apple. Apparently Steve Jobs sat in on the meeting where the development team showed the guys from Apple what they had, and Steve walked through the room to the white board, told them to throw their user interface away, and drew a picture of what he thought a movie application should look like, and how it should work :)

Nice one.
MBA is actually waste of time. Half of the subjects can be eliminated and we can learn the useful stuff.

Good luck in researching.

Nice comparison with the tomtom. I have not reviewed these models, but its good to get real use opinions.

It's amazing how quiet Wii can be.. after you've been hearing that terrible buzzing sound for a while.

Will enjoy reading if/when you return. I on the other hand am being cheap this year and have returned to a wordpress hosted blog...

No, I didn't. Damn it! I didn't have the time during the first day... but knew I'd have plenty the second... the simulator guy didn't show on the second day. *sigh*

Did you get a chance to try the simulator?

I just read the majority of your post out to the guys at work - cue much laughing, and re-telling of spending stories. Excellent post :)

Spammers seem to like this article... this and the one comparing the Garmin Zumo and TomTom 910 generate about 95% of the spam comments on this blog. (Which Askimet filters out)

Sorry to hear the noise returned. It is really sensitive to adjustment... I spent at least 2 hours getting my drive to be quiet AND stay quiet. It was like the beginning of Raider's of the Ark, when Indy replaces the head with the bag of sand (minus the giant rolling stone & angry natives)

Good luck.

It's a smart car for heterosexuals.

In the last 2000 miles I've averaged 42.7 mpg!

The only problem is that I now drive about 5 times more miles than I used to...

Thank You!!! My Wii was making the same buzzing noise. This stopped the vibration and it is super quiet again!!

I discovered the King of Shaves stuff last year - in particular their oil and shaving gel. It made a *huge* difference, and when I blogged about it, they sent me a ton of their products.

I was thinking the exact same thing. To balance these literary giants in their fields I think Ms Lohan needs to finally succumb to her demons.

Shew-wee...those Feather blades are sharp! I prefer Derby or Crystal blades myself: they're a little more "forgiving" of poor technique. Be sure to check Boots shave soap and shave stick, for the price they're not bad! Be sure to check out the traditional shaving sub-culture at web forums like www.shavemyface.com and www.badgerandblade.com, and my youtube "shaving" channel at www.youtube.com/shavetutor!

Man. I'm sorry to hear Greenie's gone. I know how tough it is to lose a pet you love. I always thought it was neat how she won you over, knowing as I did how you weren't predisposed to cats. She must have been special indeed.

But then, there's your 3/30/07 post. Maybe there will be another special buddy in your future?

All the best to you and Deb, and your mom.

Mark and Deb--

I'm so sorry to hear that Greenbean died. She was a beautiful kitty and seemed to have a calm presence about her, unlike our neurotic ones. I remember how she liked to get pulled around in that box in your living room. These fuzzy ones do get under your skin, and to lose yours when you were away from her really sucks. I hope she didn't suffer, and that you both don't suffer much without her.
