Glenn Hubbard, Dean of the Columbia Business School, was recently considered as a potential replacement for Alan Greenspan as head of the US Federal Reserve. Watch this, and think of how much more entertaining the Humphrey-Hawkins reports could be if Hubbard had gotten the job.
You might also be amused by “Dean, Dean, Baby!”
(not Vanilla Ice)
More productions from the Columbia Business School follies
These clearly demonstrate that B-school students have too much spare time on their hands.
Postscript: I see from this post that it’s actually a close look-alike (student), not actually Glenn Hubbard.
Update 04-28-2006 9:49 PDT - This clip has been making the rounds pretty quickly. They just showed it on CNBC, where they’ve also got the Columbia Business School students who made the video. 15 minutes of fame…
The nice visualization of my del.icio.us tags reminds me:
If you normally reading my blog using a browser, you might want to take a look at the “Recent Links” section.
That category is automatically generated from del.icio.us. I got tired of seeing post after post titled “Links for xxxx-xx-xx” on the home page, so they don’t show up there, and they don’t show up on the recent posts listing either.
I normally try to add a descriptive comment and tags, so the links section is somewhat readable. At the moment, del.icio.us has a maximum of something like 255 characters for the comment, which can lead to terse and/or truncated prose, though.
If you normally read this site through a feedreader such as Bloglines or Rojo, the link posts are included in the full feed, but excluded from the index-page-only feed.
Here is a visualization of my del.icio.us tags, by Kunal Anand, who’s been collecting del.icio.us tags and turning them into interesting pictures. Here’s the short explanation he sent along:
1. Each dot represents a tag (aka a node)
2. Each line represents an intersection between tags
3. The center of the visualization (denoted by a colored gradient), represents the heavy set of intersections
It appears that I have a fairly consistent set of regularly used tags, and a fairly even distribution of less used tags that intersect with the most common ones.
For comparison, see visualizations of tags from Brad Feld, Tom Coates, Pete Freitag
In catching up on e-mail and feed reading, I see that Chris and Tara are heading out to Bangalore for Barcamp Bangalore. Looks like there are several scheduled in India, I see Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai on the calendar.
A number of the regular readers here are from India. If you’re reading this, chances are you’d enjoy participating. Here are some of my notes from (the first) BarCamp last summer in Palo Alto. If you’ve got some time this weekend and you’re in the area, check it out.

Back in Palo Alto again. Appararently it rained nearly every day that we were away, but it’s been pleasantly sunny and around 80 degrees this afternoon. The Bay Area is a lot nicer now that the weather is working properly again.
Vacation, broadband and an ocean view. What more could you want?
Now I can post very little due to vacationing, as opposed to posting very little due to work.
