Finance 601

Happen to catch an article as it mentions Prof. Jeremy Siegel. I took Prof. Siegel's macro economics class last semester. This class is perhaps the most wanted/subscribed course at Wharton.

Found this article interesting and thought provoking, and also a nice refresher to things learnt in Finance 601 under another legendary faculty Prof. Franklin Allen.

Got milk? Now remember it...

Just discovered a personal task management site - http://www.rememberthemilk.com/

Love the way it is engineered. I found it very user friendly. For instance the keyboard shortcuts to create tasks (okay, maybe that's just geek friendly).

How being able to say 'tomorrow' or 'two weeks' for due date? Now that's definitely 'user friendly' because that is how most people think about tasks (that are not meeting) and not as due 6:00 pm on 1st of July!

The song on my mind...

Bad Day by Daniel Powter

Calling all vigilantes...

I guess this is the 'open source' twist to border security, BBC reports that State of Texas plans to enlist 'web users in its fight against illegal immigration'.

One of my favs

Been a long time since I heard "I hope you dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
Am glad it is playing right now. Lovely lyrics...

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
