This is going to be a short entry, but I didn’t want to let this weekend pass without wishing all of you a happy Thanksgiving holiday. I trust that each of you had a nice observance of “Turkey Day” and, hopefully, were surrounded by family and friends. As for myself, I spent the holiday in Oklahoma with my GF’s family and had the big “Meet the Parents” event.

What’s up, folks. I’m writing this entry from a plane from SFO on my way back to the client site in the Midwest after having participated in the McKinsey Meet The Company presentation for the GSB’s first-year students. This trip to Palo Alto should have been routine since I’ve been back to recruit for MBA2′s, but it felt different this time because I was actually talking to a class of folks who had no clue who I was. I swear it made me feel SO OLD to see a new class of folks coming into the GSB right after having… Read the rest

As you guys know, I like promoting cool companies and services offered by people I know, so here’s another one. One of my GSB classmates has just launched UGenie.com, which is a search engine that scours the Internet to find the best bundled deals for a collection of items for sale.
