Currently reading The Lords of Finance: The Men Who Broke The World, by Liaquat Ahmed. I can hear my father's voice in the narration, oddly. I've reached the point where the market is about to crash, and it's edge-of-your-seat reading. Well, if you like history.
I was home from work sick today; migraine. More due to stress at work than anything else, as we're about to move the office back downtown. I like being downtown. I don't like moving.
Ingdom A&S over the weekend, and there were any great entries. It's odd; I can't get the cursor to go back to the beginning of this page to correct Ingdom to Kingdom. No matter where I tap on the page, it highlights the first paragraph. Next time, I'll ditch the tablet and go to the laptop.
No real plans for the week, just work, fighter practice tomorrow, continuing to pull the warp I'm working on, and going to Mom's over the weekend. Dinner with friends Wednesday night, maybe at the Smiling Elephant on Franklin Road. I dunno.
interesting discussion of corporate interests, the MBA, and Citizen's United, in the "Felony Interference With A Business Model" thread over on Making Light. They talk a lot about the late 20th century idea that someone with no experience in a business can walk in and run it, and the effects on thepublicgood of those people who do it. I particularly liked the comment about the toupee, and how MBAs are like them; go read it yourself, I'm not going to digest it for you. The MBA they discuss is the HBS, but it applies to any MBA. I'm reminded of Ahmed's discussion of the experience levels of her four lords of finance.
