Winter break research: Buffett.
I’m going to meet Warren Buffett later this month through a school event, so I figured I should do a little research on the man over Winter break. I ended up reading, “Buffet: The Making of an American Capitalist”. The book was incredibly insightful and engaging – and perfect for someone not necessarily into [...]
In orbit.
First off, I swear I’ve been blogging. It has just been elsewhere…
Foster Blog
European Union GBF (This is a speaker-series class that I’m taking on the EU business climate. It’s two “deliverables” are blog posts!)
Second off, I’m reading an awesome book called, “Orbiting the Giant Hairball”. It’s written by a creative at Hallmark, who essentially has [...]

It’s the story of two married field researchers (Mark and Delia Owens) who go to Botswana to study animals for their graduate and PhD [...]
Book Report: I Am Not Myself These Days
This weekend we stopped in to a very nice independent bookstore in Bend called Between the Covers. I couldn’t stop gazing at thier non-fiction section… so many good books.
I ended up with two including “I Am Not Myself These Days”, which I started reading immediately. And could not put down. Until 10 minutes ago.
It’s a [...]
