Book Review Good To Great Companies – Chapter 2 Summary

I find chapter two to be of interest for those in the management area, the reason I say that because it would seem that Jim Collins is saying this is what you shouldn’t do when you are at a high level position. He talks about how some of the good-to-great leaders were humble and thought of the company and not themselves. Jim Collins talks about Level 5 Management, in short is a position that blends both personal humility with strong an professional will. Or another way to put it, those …

Week 2 & 3 @ MCGC

Week 2
Though I should have posted sometime last week about week 2, that is how busy I am.  All the reading, makes me want to get the audio versions of the books and then get voice to text software to get my notes done.  Although, it is funny that I mention that as it would cut down a few minutes of study time if I could read my notes to Microsoft Word.

First Day at Marlboro College Graduate Center

**Remembers Billy Madison waiting for the school bus and singing back to school**
Although not as glamorous or the fact the bus will fly by me, but same idea. For me though it is all about the focus, and although I finish this weeks readings from 3 out of 4 classes. It would seem that I am going to have to make sure I stay on track during this whole thing. Especially in a couple of weeks when my sister will be getting married and having all these relatives and kids …

Well I thought I send a post to those who actually visit my blog, but with personal things going on and of course school starting soon.  I just haven’t had the time or the interest to blog.  Obviously Google was nice enough to drop my PR 3 like that, even though I have a lot of stuff on here, but go figure.  Anyway, I try to post something, but right now this site isn’t on my priorities though.

Movie Review: District 9

The Lord of the Rings has return as Peter Jackson has created another cult classic with the help of Neill Blomkamp, known as District 9.  Although there is one overall story in this movie, but it is possible that there are several stories that can be found in this movie.  The general story is that aliens have landed in Africa and then twenty years later it is time for them to be move and well that is where the fun begins.

Movie Review: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra

“He never gives up.  He’ll stay til the fight’s won.  GI Joe will dare.  GI Joe- A real American hero GI Joe. “

Guess what movie I saw?  Yep the American heroes I grew up with as a kid every Saturday morning in their first live action movie that will most likely be a trilog by 2013.  Lets get to the gist of it, first off wow on the two hour mark or rather 1 hour 58 minutes.  The reason I say this is because I had peg this movie at …

The Loss of Honajivi

Today, I found out from my misses, that Honahara Uttarajivi had passed away after a valient and brave fight.  When I woke up around 3 pm and then turn my computer on, my misses informed me that Jibi was gone.  Luckily in those 3 days I got to see her, watch her move around, watch her feed, heard her meow.  Though I will never get to hold her, getting to see her do all those things is just as good and although I had finish this little sig for her, …

Honahara Jivi aka Hopeful Survivor

Around 6 am this morning the misses and I found out two more kittens passed away and while she was in shocked I was deeply sadden and angry.  Sadden from the loss and angry at their mother and I know I shouldn’t be as my misses told, but still it hurts to find out a mother has given up.
That is why I named her Honahara Jivi or short for Honahara Uttarajivi or Hopeful Survivor.   She has survived the first two days of life and through this troubling time she finally …

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

So I saw Harry Potter last night and since I never read the book I was pleasantly surprise, ok not really as knew what happen in the book thanks to a few Potter readers.  However, what I found the most interesting is that for one of the darkest books in the series it sure was cheery with a lot of comedy.  Trying to figure out why it was important for horny teens to be the main focus of this movie as I doubt the book really talk about it that …

Software Review: VIPRE Antivirus Software

I came across this software today and I thought I would try it out and see if this new slick and cool anti-virus/spyware would be fast and not a resource hog as they say they it is.  After a quick installation, reboot and definition update, and a configuration settings it was time to get down to business on this soft.  Small note I was working with Definition version 5261.  Although I have McAfee security suite running, I will mention that in the configuration of the software that it will mention …

It is still July and I have a few weeks before I register for classes and about two months before I begin a very grueling school schedule. So I thought I get it on with some Mega Man 3 which is by far one of the longest games in this franchises history and I tell you why. Not only do you go through 8 original bosses but you almost have to fight Mega Man 2 bosses as well on top of 6 stages of Dr. Wiley hell as well.
Yeah it …
