Thursday, August 14th, 2008The MBA shortcut
Friday, March 18th, 2005My co-worker and I were talking today about the benefits of getting into an MBA program. The main benefit seems to be the networking that is the inevitable result of being around a bunch of business minded people.
While I agree that’s important/valuable, I don’t know if it’s worth piling on more debt or getting handcuffed to your company’s education benefits program. In the meantime, I’ve been reading many of the books found on Josh Kaufman’s “Personal MBA Program” reading list.
Playing Dumb
Wednesday, December 15th, 2004Here’s a valuable negotiating technique I often forget, whether I’m in a job interview or trying to sell something. I’ll often say the positive and negative sides, thinking I’m giving additional information when in fact, less is more.
Everything Sysadmin: The right answer
The name for this technique is “playing dumb.” It is a technique that we geeks often forget. We geeks are smart. We get paid for being smart. We get paid for having all the answers.

Interesting to see who people wrote in for the recent elections. Some notable ones were Jesus Christ, Oprah, C. Montgomery Burns, and “I Don’t Like My Choices, So I’m Protesting By Not Voting For Prez.”
North versus South
Wednesday, October 6th, 2004Being a transplanted Yankee living in Atlanta, it’s funny seeing how the cultures mix. Two of my co-workers are from New York but you’d swear they were born on the bayou. Today they were talking about monster trucks and wrestling, loud enough that everyone nearby could hear, when another co-worker IMs me:
He cried when Burt Reynolds shot the country bumpkins in Deliverance

Atlanta Time Machine
Thursday, July 1st, 2004Someone’s gone and made a set of Then and Now type photos of Atlanta. It’s sad to see how quickly Atlanta has become just one giant suburb instead of a cohesive downtown area: Atlanta Time Machine
Finding cheap gas
Friday, June 18th, 2004I’m far from being an environmentalist, driving an SUV that gets ~16mpg. But I am a cheap mo-fo so finding good prices on gas is important to me! The following sites are pretty useful- I found better prices than I had been using!
