I bought a car today – a 2000 Honda Odyssey. Great family car. More paperwork… Can’t believe the DMV is separate for each state with different regulations and everything. Anyway – looking forward to travel around a little bit.
First class with Google´s Chief Economist Hal Varian today. I think this is going to be a great class – a lot of interesting examples and discussion today anyway. The class reader (Information Rules) is of course written by the professor – he is apparently working on an update.
Had a short refresh of Porter and Welch before we started to look at the focus for our class: important forces for tech industries. Inventions, patents, innovations, the competition – it will definitely be an interesting class 
and I am looking forward to it! I am here as a Visiting Scholar and I follow the Management of Technology Program at UC Berkeley. Here is my list of classes for this semester:
and an incredible amount of paperwork! Can´t believe that I´m actually saying this, but it is way worse than France. Passport and Visa before we came over here, piles of papers going back and forth to the university, health insurance information, giving and updating personal information to airlines, government, university, international office, dmv, social security office – the list just goes on and on. Great opportunity for a LDAP project though…
At one point I was given some information about the paperwork reduction act – seems like a great idea! Of course you have to send in comments by snail mail…
