Google Spreadsheets

Today I discovered the ability to include financial information in Google spreadsheets. It is very simple and very useful. I created a spreadsheet with my portfolio to keep track of changes in one place and include an intrinsic value calculation.
 
You can find some information here on using financial information in your spreadsheets.
 

Business Group Questions

A few questions to stimulate conversation for our business group.

Some VIM Commands

Every once in a while I try to review some vim information to get additional practice with the editor. Today I reviewed file buffers, visual mode and markers. All very useful in editing files with vim.
 
 
File buffers are great when editing more than file.
:buffers
:b1 :b2 :b3
:bn :bp
:sbn :sbp
 
Visual Mode
In normal mode use v, shift-v or ctl-v (block edit)
Use >, <, r, c, d, etc.
 
Markers
In normal mode use ma, mb, mc, etc

My Diet

Several people have asked me how I lost weight over the last year. In an attempt to pass what worked for me on here are the details.

It all started with a goal, I wanted to get to 200 lbs by vacation. That meant that I had to loose 38 lbs in approximately 12 weeks. I don't believe there are any shortcuts in this writeup so if that is what you need you might as well stop here.

In this post I will describe the lessons I learned from a failed startup I was part of. It was a small company, underfunded and understaffed. We were naive and probably expected too much from too little work.
