What Greg Learned #6

This is a bit of a weird one… for one, I’m having some technical problems uploading sound, but didn’t really record anything of much interest anyway, so this is a text-only post. It’s also fairly long because it’s actually my final paper from Leadership class – a statement of how I got to be who I am, who my influences are, what my strengths and weaknesses are, and where I could see myself going… including my own creative take on communicating one vision for my life, say, 15 years from now. Next week come finals for the first term, and a few weeks later, after Thanksgiving, I’m into term two.

Anyway, the full giant text is after the break.

What Greg Learned #5

Hey, it’s a week after class #5. I blame daylight savings time, though really video games may be more to blame. Either way, prepare for a scary journey down the brainstem of Greg as I examine my own strengths and weaknesses for leadership class. Transcript’s after the jump.

Not really a direct school thing.

Yes, WGL #5 is, uh, on the to-do list. I was rescued from Marketing class (sorry, pulled out of Marketing Class) by some frenzied emails/texts regarding the status of a video that I produced for an event in Abu Dhabi.

And I only mention that in order to establish a connection that gives me an excuse to link to my promotional video for the Wharton Business Plan Competition. I think it came out pretty slick.

What Greg Learned #4 – October 19

Once you do something regularly FOUR TIMES that makes it a trend, right? Well, this time through we tell the horrifying TALE OF TWO CLASS PROJECTS. Will the Scooby Crew discover the truth behind the haunted marina? Will anybody notice the false start that apparently didn’t get recorded over or edited out at the beginning? Let’s find out! Transcript is after the break….

What Greg Learned #3 – 10/4

Aaaaaaand time for more of What Greg Learned. It’s #3 for the third session of the program, even though there was the software engineering thing interleaved… ok, heck, I have no plans or rules, but do like the chance to complain about overly-businessy types (and I’m proud of all the things I don’t call this guy). Full transcript’s after the break.

Software Engineering Log #1

Yep, it’s my first log post for my engineering class… delivered in digitized sound bytes to your very desktop:

I’m bobbing around in a sea of homework, including case studies from Marketing and Engineering classes, a new set of Statistics homework to deal with, and an intimidating chore of reading the biography of my choice for the Leadership class… I chose Truman, but boy I sure should have glanced at the page count on Amazon first.

Full transcript o’ this one after the break:

What Greg Learned, September 21

Yep, another class, another podcast. Like some sort of magic machine that turns class weekends into podcasts.

Script is below after the break, but don’t believe a word of it… I wander waaay off subject.

What Greg Learned, September 7

The transcript… or rather script, as it’s where I started and sometimes digressed from… is after the break. 

Welcome!

Rule one of setting up a new blog: set it up when you have time to write a first post!

TODAY WE BREAK ALL THE RULES!

Great attitude for starting school again.  Anyway, in half an hour I hit the train to start pre-term “orientation” for an executive master’s program in technology management.  Herein I hope to document my experience… stuff I learn, things that happen, and so on… for the good of… well, mostly as an exercise in and of itself, but also to satisfy any friends, family, and random surfers who find it interesting.

While the program this week is designed as an immersive, stay-there sort of thing, tonight I come back home to feed the cat and pack up so that I can do the immersion starting tomorrow.  Anyway… no time!
