I've split my bookmarks into two lists: General and Internet & marketing specific.

Work to live? Or Live work? During my last job search, I found these guidelines for Human Resources in the trash of a well-known company. What the hey? I sent my resume in anyway. What kind of company takes 9 months to acknowledge a job application? How about even longer? I don't know where else to put this, or even why I thought it up, but here is a quick competency test for your lawyer.

Over the years I've been on the net, I've gathered quite a large number of links. Some are for classes, some are for work, and some are just fun. Some of the classes I've taught at the California College of Communications: Usability Internet Market Research Ecommerce Transactions I have fallen into the position of webmaster for the Bay Area Reed College Alumni Association. Check out the site for fun with Reedies. General links Internet & marketing specific

I have uploaded some of my other projects to the web. The Chocolate Tasting Page Smart money was on the French in the 2001 chocolate tastings, but... We had way too many types of chocolate for 2000's tasting, so we divided them into three categories. 1999's chocolate tasting brought out a few surprises, the main one of which was that the winner was sweetened with Aspartame. I had a few people over Memorial Day 1998 for a tasting of Dark Chocolate. We tasted some 30 chocolates ranging from 45% to 85% cocoa solids. The winner is... Some good recipes to use with the above chocolate. PC Market Analysis. This was a background study I did as part of a positioning report for Adaptec. I attempted to quantify the total potential market for personal computers in the U.S. The Costs of Microsoft's Monopoly. While I was involved in an electronic debate over the DOJ's suit against Microsoft, I calculated that the Microsoft monopoly costs U.S. consumers over $200 million a year. Market Research Survey This was a project for my Consumer Behavior and Market Research classes at the Yale school of Management. The survey was designed to study how people view the net as a resource for shopping. You can also see the results of the survey. Before teaching my class on Market Research on the Internet, I reviewed the major browsers to see which one does the best job.

A great deal of my life seems to be spent teaching people. I've posted a few of the lessons I have written. Persuasion Lesson This is a lesson I wrote for teaching high level Japanese Businessmen how to make persuasive speeches. I think it is an excellent course in understanding how to communicate to an audience effectively. Macintosh Lesson. This is a short lesson that covers the basics of using a Mac to get on the net. I wrote it specifically for my Mom, but it makes a pretty good guide for any novice. Web Construction. A summary of how to design pages and use Front Page 98 - originally designed for a class at the California College of Communications. (Despite the fact that I teach it, I do not recommend Front Page, it is buggy and unintuitive.) And a short set of directions on how to download from the web.

I love to travel to exotic places. Here are some helpful tools for travelling. Places to See is my list of the top places in the world. Have a vacation but don't know where to go? This is a good start. Here is my list of things to take. October 1998 saw me in Peru. In December 1997 I saw Venezuela.
