Oxford SBS Launches YouTube Channel
I'm sure there are many universities and MBA programs that have YouTube channels, so this might not be breaking news but this is big for Oxford's Said Business School («SBS»). I did a quick search and found 174 videos on YouTube under «MBA Programs» and another 528 under «MBA school». I didn't check for duplicates but I'm actually shocked there aren't more videos. Maybe Oxford is ahead of the curve?

The President's Putter Quick Recap
I have many handwritten notes that I'll capture in a post-by-post, day-by-day summary but in the meantime I wanted to at least get a picture up and link to my slide show.

What's in my bag
It's winter in the northern hemisphere so why not be geeked up on golf? It's that time of year to be thinking about what awaits us in the year to come. Maybe 2008 is the year for my first my hole-in-one (I should mention I've played well over 3,000 par threes and patiently await my first ace). Or maybe it will present my first round under 70 since my glorious 67 at Lake Arbor back in 1995. Time will tell. In the meantime, you can check out my weapons of choice for the upcoming year. I'll be showcasing these sticks in The Putter Jan 3-6.

MBA Concierge. Should we have franchised?
A buddy from grad school, Rob Mittelman just sent me a note regarding a concierge company going to campuses. Well, for any of the MBA students at Oxford in 2005/06, you already know how successful this could be. I still think back and wonder if a group of us should have done our summer project on MBAconcierge and rolled out some franchises around the world. We could have been big! I guess we'll just see have to see how Precious Time of NY does in Syracuse.

The Putter Recap
It took 5 months but I am finally putting together my recollection of the 2007 Putter. It was my first time attending this fascinating event. This is truly an honor - there are few colonists that still play - in fact, this year 3 Americans crossed the Atlantic for the event. David Stewart (DJ) played quite well and made it to Saturday morning. He was one of the few that made it to Saturday from the 2006/07 Oxford team. The rest of us had early exits and enjoyed the Niblick - a foursomes event for the unlucky. As you can imagine after 5 months it's a little difficult to recall all the details but I'll recap a few:

Scotland Golf Trip Reflection
It's been almost a year since the Scotland Varsity Match golf trip. It started with the Match (Oxford v. Cambridge) at The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, Muirfield in Gullane and ended at Cruden Bay 7 days later. 
I was reminded of the trip recently as I scoured through several golf rankings for a not-so-stealth mission for The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts. As I reviewed the lists from Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, Golf Weekly, Avid Golfer and many more I had to call my golfing buddy Dave Runyon. Dave flew out to the varsity match last spring along with my Dad, Mary Ann, and Joe Goebel. My wife, my biggest supporter, was there as well.
Anyway, tonight I went back to my notes and looked up our itinerary and the results. I forgot that I played 12 rounds in 7 days (including the varsity match) and Dave played 8 in 5 days. It was epic. It was also epic because we had close friends playing with us at different courses. Check out the link to the itinerary and you'll see the pairings at each course. You'll also see that Dave and I played 54 holes at Cruden Bay in one day to cap off the trip.
