RevisedFinal Presentationv8.1… and the story is still not tight enough.:

Time is running out, so you start cutting the fat. You simplify some key charts. Then you decide that an entire section is not needed so you take it out. And finally you have another look and you…

My next life by Woody Allen

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:10:40 -0400

In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead
and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people’s home
feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go
collect your pension and then, when you start work, you get a gold watch
and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you’re young
enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol and are
generally promiscuous and then you are ready for high school.

You then go to primary school, you become a kid and you play. You have no
responsibilities; you become a baby until you are born; and then you
spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with
central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and
then….. Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!

I rest my case.

Starbucks is becoming a coffee brand

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:58:00 -0400

Like most people living in NY I have been conditioned to love Starbucks and to feel that it’s more than a coffee brand. Lately, the brand increasingly feels the need to advertise and prove to us what we already knew: that they are more than just a coffee brand. And the more they are saying it, the less I believe or feel it. Sad, but true.ut true.
