This post was going to be all praise for the Mandarin Oriental hotel, until they blew it literally at the last two minutes of my visit there.I was at an informal discussion at the hotel. I …

You might remember my “Why Students Should Blog” post in response to HackCollege’s contest. I finally caught up with episode 26 of the Hack College Podcast today by Chris and Kelly, and was thrilled to find that I made the final four to win a Hack College t-shirt!The segment starts at about 18 minutes ...
