Shooting for the sky with the final space shuttle launch and a new budget deal top this morning’s national headlines, but here in my kitchen I have newly painted walls and a lingering smell to sip my coffee with the door open trying to get some air to move but this humid morning refuses to cooperate. Not sure I totally understood last night’s new Transformer movie. It didn’t help that I fell asleep for 15 minutes but my legs were tired from a two set singles match and a long session with my lawyers trying to finish off a new contract. Ah, the lazy days of summer.
A quick scan of the just delivered newspapers (so old fashion I know) reveals little except the end of the Spitzer era on CNN (don’t worry, they are talking to DSK about replacing him). Facebook is now playing catch up with Google+ around video chat which is kind of amazing. It looks like Google may be getting some Social traction suddenly. Not sure I understand why the President did a Twitter town hall meeting as none of his answers were close to 140 characters. I am waiting anxiously for the new iPhone 5 as my current Blackberry is kind of embarrassing, especially for someone who runs a social media company and is so young and hip. Oh, never mind. If you never saw the animation of the iPhone 4 vs. the Evo, here is the link. Very funny stuff.
Interesting article about prestigious UNC business school offering an online degree program. It still costs, get this, $89,000 for a two years, only nine grand less than the traditional one. Prediction: big things will happen with online education in the next few years, including bringing some pricing reality back to the picture, I hope. Just last week a private equity firm purchased Blackboard, a leader in educatonal software. They must see some something there too.
Well, time is up on this edition as your faithful blogger needs his exercise. But before I do pushups and squats (ok, how about just the stairmaster), a quick shout out to young John Gabianelli, a good family friend who tees it up today at the Georgia State Amateur held at my little Atlanta club. Hit them straight, John, stay cool and have fun. John is only 15 and we are very proud of him for making it this far.
