While Ray Kurzweil is one of the few academics I truly admire, I can’t see this working out well at all. For a number of reasons… Read the rest of this entry »
Put on your yarmulkes… but only when you’ve wronged

I have no problem with people out of the blue “discovering” their Jewish identity. Paula Abdul? Why not. But when it comes to announcing in public you are Jewish at convenient times, that is when I find it disgusting. Read the rest of this entry »

Funny article read this morning that I thought I would pass on. Personally, I would go to every Nationals and Redskins game if I knew I could get a $7 beer and a $10 falafel sandwich. Would have been a lot more enjoyable than the nasty fries I purchased at the Terps football game on Sunday (tailgating on an empty stomach is a bad idea).

So we’ve all seen the movies and TV shows, and thought gee-whiz, wouldn’t it be swell (yes, I’m bringing back swell) if we had the fluid displays that we’ve seen in things like Minority Report and Star Trek? Well we’re one step closer. Read the rest of this entry »

After reading my late-night/morning round of e-mail, I went online and read a post listing five reasons to create a startup now. I’ve read tons of these, especially with all the Web 2.0 buzz flying around, which peaked just as I was graduating.

I was watching 30 Rock last night (surprisingly good show, a combination of dry humor and the ridiculousness that is Tracy Morgan). Alec Baldwin’s character made a joke about Six Sigma, and all the other characters looked confused.
Is it sad that after three months here, I know what Six Sigma is?
In the course of finishing my education and entering the workforce, the dynamics of my life have changed dramatically. Besides diet/living situation/car/DEBT/money, it has been a welcome adjustment of the division between work and free time, and the stress associated with it. Read the rest of this entry »
Hi there!
My name is Zvi Band (pronounced zuh-vee), and I write this blog. You'll hear me talk about technology, social media, digital strategy, and entrepreneurship, all of which I am interested in.
I recently graduated (Go Terps!) and am working full time, however my heart lies in entrepreneurship. Watch me!
Everything I say is my own personal opinion, and should be treated as such. In this blog, what I say is not representative of my employer, clients, or anyone else other than myself.
