Tuesday, February 16th, 2010MBA / M2
Saturday, December 5th, 2009For the past few months, I have been working on an Master’s in Business Administration — International Affairs, and an Master’s 2 in International Negotiations.
I’ve not mentioned this here, because there were some bureaucratic (“burro-cratic”) problems that had to be resolved. Some of these seemed like they might have been show-stoppers. However, now it seems like these things are fine, but …. you never can tell.
Xixi No Banho
Thursday, September 10th, 2009I was watching television tonight and saw this advertisment.
I dig the message. This is also about the weirdest/funniest/coolest thing I’ve ever seen on TV.
Faz xixi no banho / Pee in the shower (english subtitles)
They also have a really great site xixi no banho. It is done using Flash but it works.
Training in Summer.
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009It is not summer in Porto Alegre, far from it. But two days ago there was a mysterious heat-wave. It took everyone by surprise. During the warmup I started feeling dizzy, but kept on going, thinking, I can’t stop and say “I feel dizzy”. I would prefer to faint. Most people have some amount of practice helping someone who has lost consciousness at BJJ class.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one, though. A few people had to stop training because of “low blood pressure”. Which I think is a tougher way of putting it than, “I’m going to swoon.”
Holy crap, did I just write a blog post about the weather.
I gotta go play with the baby.
Ho ho ho hee hee hee
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006I just figured out why the English are obsessed with World War II.
It is the only time they have ever won a shoot-out.
Hats for Seats
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006I just walked past a woman putting a shower cap on her bicycle seat.
There were a bunch of bikes like this. I need to take a picture.
Wacky Weekend
Sunday, September 3rd, 2006We had a busy weekend.
On Friday we moved to Hammersmith . Which will be a much better commute for both of us.
Saturday we went to a wedding in the Midlands. Weddings in the UK are much different than weddings in the states.
Finally, today we came back to London so I could give a presentation.
Very hectic.
I think I’ll use this week to rest.
Oh, I almost forgot, it seems like some strange things are afoot at Blogger. Google must have something in the works. Maybe it is Web 3.0,
Skype
Friday, September 1st, 2006I have actually broken down and put money on a Skype account. It is a lot cheaper than calling from a landline. Also, the quality seems really good, as well. For real.

I see this building on my way to jiu-jitsu, which, lately, is almost every day.
