My Remarks at the 2009 Babson Entrepreneurial Energy Expo

Yesterday our graduate student energy club produced its annual energy conference. I have many thoughts and good feelings about how the event went. A summary would be ‘smashing success.’ I could not communicate enough to those I spoke with how proud I was of the team of students involved in creating such a professional experience.… Continue reading My Remarks at the 2009 Babson Entrepreneurial Energy Expo

Nothing To Worry About

I just returned from an week-long trip in Norway with a handful of Babson MBA visiting students at ITNU in and looking at  renewable energy businesses.  It was a  great time, and I hope to blog about it soon.

Facebook Profile Discretion and the Guitar Tab for Britney Spears, "Out From Under"

I’ve begun work developing a guitar tab of the Britney Spears song, “Out From Under,”  but before getting to that, we have some ground to cover. Some friends on Facebook noticed that for a few days this past week Britney Spears was on my list of ‘favorite music.’  The music section of the Info Tab… Continue reading Facebook Profile Discretion and the Guitar Tab for Britney Spears, "Out From Under"

Quake Live Beta

I received an unsolicited email a few days ago from id Software requesting that I join their beta program for Quake Live.  I haven’t played Quake since since 1999, but remember playing quite a bit of Quake 3 Arena–especially capture the flag. In order to beta test, you first create an id Software user account,… Continue reading Quake Live Beta
