Been a very good week. Second quarter of school is winding down, and I can already tell that passing these classes is already a forgone conclusion; which really takes a lot of stress off the rest of the quarter. This last weekend Anne and I went to the Tacoma Symphony to see them perform Egmont Overture (Beethoven), A Lincoln Portrait (Copland), and Symphon No. 1, "Titan" (Mahler). It was absolutely fantastic. For the Lincoln Portrait they had a monologue spoken over the last 1/3rd of the performance. Half surprisingly, it wasn't campy at all and in-fact was very moving. I'm a little ashamed I had no clue the caliper of symphony we had in Tacoma. Leave it to a board member to seduce me and take me to a show. ;-)
This Saturday we're heading (Anne & my parents) to see Doc Severinsen perform at Benaroya Hall in Seattle (performing an all new show called El Ritmo de la Vida - Rhythm of Life). Doc was the first trumpet CD I ever bought, and I'm absolutely thrilled to catch him live. I'm sure next week I'll have a couple things to say about the show.
Onto this week's random links:

Unsurprisingly its been a bit crazy. Second quarter of school is in full swing (just finished mid-terms), and we're all getting a bit loopy. Every Sunday a couple of us get together and attempted to make sense of all the incoming information. It is a very serious group, and we get a TON done:
Okay, so sometimes our best intentions are overridden by caffeine, sugar, and a necessity to laugh.
Luckily we have a couple mascots to put us back on our educational ways..

Really wish they gave sick days in the MBA program. My teacher thought I looked so bad on Tuesday (tired / sick) she stopped class to give me a piece of gum to wake me up.
Seriously.
Its been that type of week.

Pictures from Jack's 1st Birthday
I really thought this photo was intriguing. Obviously its a mainly photoshopped, but the old feel to it is a bit creepy. Its titled: "Memories from Tomorrow"
Bill Gates @ Technology Entertainment & Design (TED). Its a very interesting 20 minute presentation (You might have seen the news article about his releasing a bunch of mosquitoes):

3 Case studies, 1 marketing project primary & secondary research, 4 chapters of reading, 2 tests to study for, 2 birthday parties, 1 UFC Fight, 1 Super Bowl, 1 Case Summary & Presentation. That's my weekend... yours?
Finally getting just a couple Christmas photos up. Nothing major, just a couple cute ones of Jack.
One of these days I'm going to have enough time and effort to create my own gigapan image, but for now, enjoy the splendor of a 1,400+ GIGAPIXEL (1,400,000 megapixel) image.
For fun: Find Yo-Yo Ma taking a picture of the event with his iPhone
Return of the vote! I had fun last week putting someone up to a vote, I'm doing it again. Don't think this is a trend, because I'm bound to not get one up next week. Something a bit more obscure this week though. Two guitar virtuosos, playing Malaguena. Who do you think is better? I implore you to listen to them both all the way through, as both are EXTREMELY impressive.
