November 30, 2005 By Al Martine

So let’s say you are your everyday Internet company selling holiday’s to English folks wanting to skiing? What would you do? Personally, I’d sell the Internet company and reinvest the money into a US baseball team in China but that’s been my default answer to every strategy case. It’s a tough moment in life when […]

Merging 2 Outlooks

November 27, 2005 By Al Martine

One of the biggest frustrations I’ve encountered since getting my second laptop is trying to sync my two Outlooks. E-mail isn’t the problem because I’ve been using IMAP for years but everything else has been a pain. I think I’ve found a good solution. Plaxo, free CRM software, now offers the ability to sync the […]

When Winning is Losing

November 22, 2005 By Al Martine

{now with new and improved formatting} My econ class is a little hit and miss. Some weeks I walk out of class thoroughly confused on the subject matter, while other times I’m really excited. The exciting times normally can be attributed to conversations and lectures on game theory and ways to think about competing against […]

No knitting in class

November 21, 2005 By Al Martine

Today, one of the girls in my stream was knitting. Yes, ball of yarn, two big sticks – probably knitting a sweater for the brisk UK winters. It was great. I approached her during our break. She said because the lecturer didn’t want her working on the computer, she’d work on this (the knitting). Having […]

A quick funny on "Oh Shit I'm behind in Finance" Weekend

November 19, 2005 By Al Martine

Who are you?

November 12, 2005 By Al Martine

The last week at school has simply flown by – each day seems to last about four hours and then vanishes into the next. Classes, assignments and club activities blur together forming collages of half memories; half ghost like images floating around my mind, which try to assemble themselves – occasionally do – and then […]

Still Standing

November 8, 2005 By Al Martine

Right now, I should be reading about Game Theory for Economics. Right now, I should be organising a reply to people who are interested in the Summer and Winter Event Committee. Right now, I should be replying to the 50+ emails concerning various projects and ‘opportunities.’ Right now, I should be contemplating my future career […]
