I feel bad for Chinese men. Check out this video from CNN.com: (Video: China: Too many boys?). The country is running out of girls. In fact, in the urban areas, for every 118 boys, there are only 100 girls. In rural areas, there are 130 boys for every 100 girls! By 2020, the government predicts…
Month: January 2007
Sunny Cali
A beautiful day today in Palo Alto. It really doesn’t feel like January when its 60+ degrees outside and sunny! I’m not used to wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the middle of the winter. I took advantage and went on a r un outdoors. The great weather is forecasted to persist through the weekend….
Busy Week
I got a busy week ahead – things just add up. The main thing of interest is the Law and Business Society movie night on Thursday at 6:30 pm. Hopefully the food ordering process will be smoother this time. We plan on Thai food – Pad Thai baby! I’ve also got some extra class sessions…
Weekend
The weekend has been mostly chill with lots of time doing nothing (i.e. music listening and web surfing). I need to hit the reading hard on Sunday. On Saturday night I saw Snakes On A Plane on DVD. It was decent for its entertainment and group-watching value and that was about it. It served its…
Ridiculous!
Check out this article about a parent complaining about the showing of “An Inconvenient Truth” in science class. It’s one of those reads where I just shake my head, and the fact that it’s in Seattle suburb (my hometown area) makes it even more unbelievable to me. “An Inconvenient Truth” should be shown in every…
Slow one
Nothing really new to report today. I woke up earlier than I would have liked in order to work on a group assignment and the effects of it lasted throughout the day. Tomorrow I’ve got Venture Capital bright and early at 8 am so I should probably head to bed relatively soon. Exercise: Lifted at…
Proposal
My research proposal for Venture Capital got a shaky reception today. Apparently the topic was too easy. I’ll think about modifying it to make it more “groundbreaking,” however not at the expense of the topic area itself, because I really like it. Yes, I don’t know Chinese and I don’t know the science behind the…
Research Line-up
I did quite a bit of school work last weekend. It was more of the brainstorming nature, but very important, laying the foundation for much of the semester. First, for my one class at the Business School, Environmental Entrepreneurship, my final project will be developing a business plan for The Remediators, an entrepreneurial business that…
Weekend Round-up
Well, the Superbowl is set for the Colts to face the Bears. Both the teams I favored to win today lost, but I have now morphed into a Colts fan. I’d like to see Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, and Co. win a Superbowl. The Colts have been good since I was a sophomore in High…
Top 10 Foods I Eat
I recommend buying all of the following as organic products. That way, you can be sure that chemicals and pesticides are not entering your body. Here is the list of foods I eat regularly, in no particular order: Oatmeal: most often traditional oats, but also steel cut and quick-oats. I add frozen berries or a…
