Student Entrepreneur of the Year, 2006

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

BYU’s CEO club is hosting the final event for Student Entrepreneur of the Year this Friday. It should be cool, but I doubt I’ll be able to go because of the time.
Another upcoming event that should be cool (if you can afford to dish out some cash) is the Mountain West Capital Network’s UTAH 100 [...]

Tech in Government

Friday, October 13th, 2006

The Tuttle IT fiasco reminded of my “Intro to IT” professor who, showing the class how to check email, complained that he was getting 500+ spams per day –despite the fact that he kept clicking to “opt-out” of the mailings. I sat there in complete disbelief as he “opted-out” of several blatant spams on the [...]

WYSIWYG Wiki Wanted

Friday, September 8th, 2006

I love wiki technology for its ability to allow collaboration on works in progress. I’ve used numerous wiki for work and on community projects, but nowhere did I find wiki colaboration more useful than on jointly-written college papers.

Google is not taking applications yet, but it should be really soon, [...]

But enough about you…

Monday, December 26th, 2005

I guess I have time to blog, now that I’m done with school. I just graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Business Managment from UVSC. It’s been long and sucky, but now it’s over. :) Actually, I rather enjoyed the experience and will look back with fondness. Hopefully I’ll be able to [...]
