Put. That Coffee. Down.

29Sep08

I caught up with my friend Brad last night as a part of church small group that Kelly and I plan to begin attending on a regular basis.*
As we talked about the mixed bag of good/bad stuff we’re dealing with, Brad brought up the dreaded end of the quarter/month.  He’s in sales and – as [...]

Plugging away…

24Jun08

Despite the lack of activity on The Boggs Blog, summertime is chugging along. Some things have ended up about like I expected:
- The online media start-up I’m working with is showing promise.
- I continue to try to plug myself into the local technology entrepreneurial scene.
- I’m not very productive working from home, but getting [...]

Back in the Saddle

Kelly and I returned from our trip this past weekend. Photos with C+ captions here.
The trip was fantastic in every way. We spent 3 days in Munich, 3 days in Vienna, and 6 days in Prague. In brief, the highlights include:

Doing Nothing

06May08

I finished my accounting exam just as the time expired this past Thursday. It was the last exam of my first year…and it was cake, which is pretty funny considering that I basically stopped attending accounting class once the weather turned nice a few weeks ago.
(Some things warrant waking up early. Accounting class [...]

Getting a Job and Having a Blog

14Apr08

I wrote a guest post for my friend Shawn Graham’s blog, “Courting Your Career”.
The post marks the first time I’ve published my philosophy regarding my blog and how it relates to my career search:
If someone doesn’t hire me because of my blog, then I probably didn’t want to work for them anyway.

Interviews

04Jan08

In a span of about 6 hours today, I had interviews with Google in San Francisco and Facebook in Palo Alto. I’m completely exhausted.
Google: “How many basketballs are there in the US?”
Facebook: “How many gas stations are there in the US?”
Clearly, Google is evaluating options in the sporting equipment industry and Facebook [...]

San Francisco

Kelly and I are in San Francisco for a business/pleasure trip.  We wandered around yesterday and have all day today and Saturday for fun.  Tomorrow, I have interviews with 2 high roller Internet software companies…and I’m nervous as hell.
We’re staying with friends Alison and Fabian just a few blocks away from Haight St.  Their place [...]

Career Fair

27Sep07

Kenan-Flagler hosted ~50 companies for the annual MBA Career Fair today. These things are always great for comedy. You just can’t beat being within earshot of so many awkward conversations…
Lots of good companies showed up, but only a handful remotely aligned with my Internet/software career interests. As I had hoped, the shortage [...]

In Search of the Summer

20Sep07

I can’t believe how quickly the summer disappeared. Just a week or two ago, it was 110 degrees outside, school had just gotten underway, and I was still buzzing from the post Italy and China afterglow.
A round of midterms and a few football games later, it’s autumn. It is still warm outside, but [...]
