I'm about to hit the market, because my days as an MBA student are numbered. I've composed my resume in LaTeX, and now it's time to start sending it out!
Wish me luck.

New blog
This blog is intended to be about me. My thoughts, distilled for your edification and sanitized for family reading. I am an imperfect human being. I talk the talk sometimes, but I try to walk the walk more so. I am motivated by many things. I am married. I have profiles and friends on Facebook and LinkedIn. I even started the FSU Alumni and Student group on LinkedIn, which at this point has close to 5,500 members.
I enjoy following financial authors and economic bloggers. I manage money for a few people. I'm finishing my MBA classes at the University of West Florida. I do well in my classes, usually acing exams. I'm focusing on improving my paper writing as well.
For my own edification, I am studying statistics and programming in R (an open source statistical package popular with asset managers and economists.) I would like to learn C++ and Javascript as well.
I enjoy learning about and using open-source software. I like Open-Office, which competes rather well with MS Office. I installed it on my wife's new (but cheap) laptop and she really likes being able to export her documents into PDF format (me too). She loves the template packages I found for her. I'm even thinking of uninstalling Office 2000 pro from my laptop for space savings, but I may need it, so I'm holding off on it.
I consider myself politically astute, having an undergraduate degree in political science, but I have become convinced that politics is not really something I want to become too wrapped up in. I might comment from time to time on politically relevant topics, but only from a standpoint that most people can agree on.
This blog will tie together several other blogs I have from a personal angle. This is going to be my face to the world. As such, I will discuss my personal values to a degree.
