missing out
Every time I check the Euro rate, I'm always surprised. I had not realized that it had hit $1.51. I should have gone to work in Europe!
I used to travel periodically to Europe and kept up with the exchanges there. I still remember one trip during the winter, in the paper, different analysts were predicting the Euro rate. Everyone was predicting a rate under $1 but one analyst had predicted it going above $1. I remember admiring that analyst for going against the grain. That year was the year the Euro started its rise. That analyst probably has alot more admirers now.
Also, who's going to be #2? This has been on my mind since the Iowa caucus. Who will they pick? McCain has some interesting choices. The most interesting is Colin Powell. Powell already has experience in a job where he affects little (Har, Har). He is McCain's most promising choice since Powell is studied by many as a dynamic leader. And, I feel he has shown significant achievements in his life regardless of his race or sex.
On another front, several things I've learned from working on Microsoft products for many years. New initiatives from Microsoft is often bought like Medstory. Another, it'll take a couple years for Microsoft to figure it how it all fits. I don't think I commented on Google Health. Somebody over there may have the same train of thought that is in the recesses of my mind.
