    I have started a journey to Portland, OR.

    My flight leaves this morning at 6:30 out of Bradley to Phoenix, AZ. I’ll stay there for an hour or two and then zip up to Portland - arriving at 12:45 West Coast time. This will be the first time I’ve been west of Kansas.

    Stay tuned for updates

    P: “how much load is on the bearings?”
    Mike D: “None! they seize up even without any load.”
    P: “that’s really strange.”
    Mike D: “What are some of our options? we really need to provide good bearings to our customers.”
    P: “I agree. I’ll have an engineer call you.”
    Mike D.: “okay. What’s the guy’s name who will be calling me?”
    P: “Rob Schnieder.”
    Mike D.: “Rob Schnieder’s going to call me?”
    P: “yes.”
    Mike D.: “THE Rob Schnieder?”
    P: “No.”
    Mike D.: “oh.”

    In honor of their 10th birthday, Google has allowed you to step back in time and use its search engine as it appeared in January 2001. MikeDiDonato.com doesn’t exist nor does any reference to September 11th or Facebook.

    It’s kind of strange.

    Whenever I’m wheeling a cart around the grocery store or the shop floor at work I am hard pressed not to kick off, jump on, and ride that cart for a few meters.

    I hope I never grow out of this desire.

    A couple weeks ago, Ben did a great job of explaining Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to us.

    This episode of This American Life does a great job of explaining the greater “credit crisis” in excellent detail.

      PROJECT = DONE (basically)

      August 1st, 2008 by mike d. in school

      currently eating: pork.

      Last night Early this morning our group finished the last bits of our presentation for this semester’s MBA class. It took a ton of work, but I think it came out pretty decently. It was a bit annoying because certain members of the group really weren’t participating that much.

      Project work can be really draining. I may have mentioned my problem with project groups before. In an academic environment, if one person doesn’t pull their weight - everyone else suffers heavily and the person who didn’t participate will probably get the same grade - worst case maybe they drop a letter. In a job environment, if one person doesn’t pull their weight - they get fired.

      It can be frustrating for sure.
