OwenBloggers: Sam - MBA 2008

Is 41 points considered a rout? A shellacking? Or just plain old gettin' schooled?

Oh.

My.
God.

I don't really know what else to say except that that was one of the best Vanderbilt basketball games that I've ever attended.  Neltner was on fire, equally effective on both sides of the court.  He was making plays underneath, he was shooting from the outside, he even got a couple steals in the first half.  Shan Foster missed only 2 shots all night, with the first one coming deep in the second half.

That's 4 in a row for the boys, 2 of which were on the road.  This gives us some much needed momentum going into the Florida game this Saturday afternoon (2pm CST).

No trees were harmed in the writing of this post.

The other day I got "looped into" an email conversation that was somewhat tangentially related to an ongoing project in one of my classes.  For me, getting CC'd on the 15th email of the chain has always felt a little like walking into a room full of laughing people - you don't exactly know what's going on but you really hope they're not laughing at you.

As I dug through the impossibly long email chain, I ran across an email signature that just made me laugh.  No, it wasn't one with a joke or a cool quote; rather, it was one of those "this email is privileged information and we will come for you in the middle of the night if you cross us" email signatures.  You know, the ones typically appended to the bottom of emails from lawyers and/or consultants.  The ones that are attached to UNencrypted emails ...

This morning as I avoided doing actual work (also known as cruising the RSS feeds), I ran across a post by Mike Arrington at TechCrunch in which he ... expresses his displeasure ... with the "Please don't print this email" signature that's all the rage these days.  And while I don't share Mike's level of distaste for those signatures, I do, from time to time, question their effectiveness.  I sometimes wonder how many people have said, "Well, since you asked nicely, I guess just the once I'll skip printing it out!!"

Now, back to avoiding doing real work ...
