Well, it turns out I was even more motivated than I thought. Yesterday (Sunday) I finished most of the draft on my paper entitled “The Wave of Chinese Solar IPO’s on U.S. Exchanges: Reasoning and Implications.” All I have left to write is the conclusion and introduction and a section providing short descriptions of the…

Long Friday
After the British troops explained themselves today, I am less troubled by their behavior. If they were indeed subject to psychological pressures and tricks in order to appear at “staged” events, then I am not in a position to judge them. I’m not sure what the Iranians were trying to accomplish here – they definitely…
British navy not so royal
I watched the British sailor hostage “crisis” come to a close on world news yesterday. It’s a stretch to call it a crisis as the whole thing looked like a big staged event by the Iranians, complete with video confessions and general media frenzy. When the soldiers left they were decked in suits and were…
Potluck Seder
Yesterday I helped organize a fantastic potluck Seder for the second night of Passover. There were around 50 attendees and it was quite a bit of work to set up, but I think everyone enjoyed it so the principle goal was accomplished. Potlucks are always fun since there is always so much variety of food…
West Tiger Mountain
Today I hiked up Tiger Mountain from the Highline Parking lot on the Tradition Plateau. It took about 40 minutes to get on top of West Tiger One. I then continued on to West Tiger 2 and looped back to West Tiger One. At the bottom, I walked around Tradition Lake to up the…
Costco Visit!
Yes, any visit to Costco Wholesale is worth mentioning in the title of an entry. It was an especially nice to visit my “home” Costco location in Issaquah, which also serves as the corporate headquarters (located about 8 minutes from my house in Sammamish). One of those in-house positions at Costco has my name written…
Business Plan
Today my group turned in our Business Plan for Environmental Entrepreneurship, the class at the Stanford Business School I took last semester. It was a great course and I think the final product is great. What is great about our plan is that it will be used in the real world by a real start-up…
Mini Weekend
It sure was nice to not have any class today – mini weekend! It’s also going to be sweet to have Wednesday through Friday afternoons off! I’ve put in so many hours into my research project for Venture Capital already, but I will use the free time to produce an excellent paper – at least…
Quarter Finale
I took two quarter classes this semester and they are now over. This leaves three classes to concentrate on for the 4 weeks (plus Spring Break week) remaining in the semester. It will be nice to have all afternoons free (except Monday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:10 pm) and no class on Tuesday at…
