Parallel Processing

I must say that the one thing Cornell has endowed me with is the ability to multitask. The ability to handle several different tasks and responsibilities at any given time. I’ve mentioned this before but my schedule this semester is pretty light. The one class, Electronic Commerce, that I thought would be interesting and informational turned out pretty disappointing. It’s a 600-level graduate course in the Cornell business school too. I’m not learning anything I didn’t already know and the course leans more towards the technical side and I was expecting a strategy related course.
The Science of Hell

I got this from an acquaintance who posted it on Xanga and I thought it was really amusing/funny. So here, sharing is caring:
The Science of Hell
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
I Wish I Had $20,000

I wish I had $20,000. Then I could have a good size marketing budget to really jump start my business. But instead I have to slowly bootstrap my way through. Considering this is my first time starting my own official business (not some side project) I’m relatively risk averse. That’s why I don’t want to borrow large amounts of money if there’s a chance I’m not able to pay it back. If I had $20,000 right now I’d spend a quarter of that on promotional activities and the rest to buy up some promising small web hosts out there. There are so many tiny web host owners that for one reason or another cannot continue running the business (not because the business is doing badly). I see these small hosts with good growth opportunities but I have no cash to pony up to acquire them.
