5/12 done! My fifth quarter (start of second year) at UC Davis’ Bay Area Working Professional MBA Program

Posted on February 26, 2010 by Will

I’ve been neglecting this latest school update for too long!

In December I finished the two classes I was taking in the Fall 2009 quarter, Marketing Strategies and Negotiation in Organizations. Both were excellent courses I recommend.

Wordbook hack made it into production code

Posted on January 15, 2010 by Will

I don’t know if anyone cares about this, but if you’re using a self-hosted WordPress blog with Gallery2 (for image/video storage) and the WordPress WPG2 app (to cross-post image/videos to your blog), Robert Tsai’s Wordbook application for Facebook will now automatically post blog summaries onto your Facebook wall with the images intact!

I hacked Rob’s code a while ago to recognize the WPG2 tags as references to images and he eventually put my hacking into his production code. So now if you download and use the WordPress Wordbook app, images defined with WPG2 tags will be added to the Facebook wall summary of your blog post.

Three weeks ago I missed riding in Levi Leipheimer’s Gran Fondo because I had stupid class. I mean, I like class, especially Negotiations, but it sure does get in the way of having a life.

Sitch family at the Champlain Lookout in the Gatineaus

The Sitch clan returned to Ottawa for a long weekend Thanksgiving at home. Ben + Allison drove up from Toronto, Joe flew in from Calgary (H couldn’t attend, bummer), and Sara and I flew in from SF. Ottawa’s miserable summer broke for this one glorious weekend.

Amelia walks 60 miles in the San Francisco 3-day Breast Cancer Walk

Posted on October 5, 2009 by Will

After a grueling 3-day 60-mile walk, Sara’s sister Amelia is convinced that their ancestors were nomadic. No foot bandages, no shin splits, no tendonitis, Amelia powered through the walk without breaking a sweat. Okay, I made that last part up. She sweat a lot. Kinda stinky too.

Motorcycling in the Wienerwald

Posted on September 27, 2009 by Will

I had an unexpected free day during a business trip to Vienna, and rather than working (which I do enough on the weekends), I rented a motorcycle and explored the Wienerwald, the “Vienna Woods” at the top end of the Alps.

It’s a lovely rural area with all of the beautiful mountain scenery you would expect from Austria. Rolling green hills, soaring rocky peaks, stone castles, tiny towns, and small narrow twisty roads. Perfect! With road elevations below 3000ft and unseasonably warm weather, I didn’t have to worry about snow.

The Wienerwald
