Innovation on Wall St. | Santa Barbarian at the Gate
https://samhodges.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/innovation-on-wall-st
Santa Barbarian at the Gate. Musings on a barbarian's interests. Innovation on Wall St. The weekend’s financial and popular press was rife with it: “Soros sees no bottom for world financial ‘collapse'” screamed one Reuters’ headline. That received wide syndication. But the NYTimes counterposed that the creation of new markets may stem this tide — and a bit shamelessly, I might add, plugged my employer:. 8220;In the weeks after the Lehman Brothers. Early last year, city officials were still fretting about...

Reflections on Ecuador and Colombia | Santa Barbarian at the Gate
https://samhodges.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/reflections-on-ecuador-and-colombia
Santa Barbarian at the Gate. Musings on a barbarian's interests. Reflections on Ecuador and Colombia. I went to Ecuador thinking it would be a parallel to Peru, where I had the opportunity to travel several years ago. I went to Colombia thinking it would be a sweaty, pressing place, still working its way out of years of drug-fueled warfare, internal upheaval, and a wide-held external view of travel risk. On both counts I was wrong. 2 comments on “ Reflections on Ecuador and Colombia. June 29, 2010. I wan...

Santa Barbarian at the Gate. Musings on a barbarian's interests. Quick review: Tournament of Shadows – The Great Game and the Race for Empire in Central Asia.

MBA2STARTUP: Facebook had more hits than Google on Dec. 25th
http://mbatostartup.blogspot.com/2010/01/facebook-had-more-hits-than-google-on.html
An MBA graduate's take on the start-up/VC world. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Facebook had more hits than Google on Dec. 25th. I find this both interesting and significant from hitwise. Facebook had more traffic on Christmas day and New Years than Google did, probably as a result of friends who were traveling checking with each other and wanting to see what everyone else did for the holidays. Also, if people were away from their computers at work they probably Google a bit less than at home.

Bull Fighting | Santa Barbarian at the Gate
https://samhodges.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/bull-fighting
Santa Barbarian at the Gate. Musings on a barbarian's interests. This is not to argue that the sport is skill-less; the sport would be death for amateurs (as shown for example by the death of a imitator this summer in Peru — see here. I intellectually believe in what I just wrote; still, the guttural aspects of the sport its intensity, its colors and noises, compelled my attention in a way that few other things have. What is it about bloodsports that allow them to so easily grasp our attention? Barbarian...
