HOWTO: Subscribe to a Google Calendar using iCal – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
Why Yahoo Can’t Deliver Email
I wondered about that too, never cared enough to test it out myself, I am not surprised at their results…
Goog Calendar
blah, no Safari support…
with buying writey, developing gmail, hacking gtalk over jabber, and now calendar, looks like goog is slowly bringing the M$ desktop applications into their website, this is great, I hate Outlook, would be nice if Goog calendar can integrate with iCal, Outlook, Notes, MeetingMaker, Scalix, and what not, so we can finally have a public calendaring server… is numsum gonna be next? 😉
(yes, I know there are services that can already do that, but they are either not as big as goog, which means it’d be impossible to get all my friends to use them, or they are lame, like Yahoo! calendar)…
MINI Cooper S JCW GP edition
Got an email fro MINI USA about this:
MINIUSA.COM
limited run of 2000 cars, no backseats, 217 hp @ 7100, 184 ft-lb @ 4600, top speed of 150mph. If they geared this thing correctly it will be pretty damn fast. (I hope it has an LSD, but since it is available as a option on the MCS’ now, it probably has it on the JCW GP edition)
Starch
oh yeah baby, just picked up one of these during lunch:

Brad Feld on MBA (or SM/MS in management science ;)
Yes, an MBA is BS, that is for sure. I already know that. I guess if I ever go to one it’d be because I want the 2-year break… but for ~100k I can probably just live in Brazil for 2 years and have a ton more fun…
Right now I’m leaning toward doing my own startup, or to open up a cafe that only serves ristretto and french press, no sugar, milk, cocca powder, cinnamon, and other stuff that really shouldn’t be in your coffee… Or maybe a denim and sneakers bar…
But of course, working for Fred might be interesting too… 😉
Business school certainly has value and serves a useful purpose in this world. However, the essence of the question points at one of the fundamental problems (and possibly misconceptions) about business school. I?m 40. I don?t believe that the degree I have has ever had any material impact on my ?career? during the last 20 years. I can?t think of a single situation where it came up in a conversation about anything that I was considering doing. For a while, I obsessively corrected the ?MBA? and ?MS? listings that would show up on web sites and in public filings ? I finally gave up because I decided it simply wasn?t relevant. While many people wear their degrees as badges of honor on their chests, I prefer to let actions speak for themselves (and ? rather than look at the badges people have, I look for the actions.)
If you want a two year break from life, go to business school. If you want to meet a bunch of new, generally smart, and always interesting people, go to business school. If you are a techie but like the business side of things, want to get an intellectual (and functional grounding) in business stuff, want a two year break from life, and want to meet interesting people, go to business school. But please – don?t worry about whether you are getting an SM or an MS or an MBA – that?s not what you are going for.
