I had a VERY good day at school today. Oh yes.... Not to mention it's a 4 day weekend. Woo
Hoo!
Ecompany has put out a list of the 100
dumbest moments in e-commerce history. This includes spending millions to make a sock puppet
famous (pets.com), and the quote "Unlike with other famous bubbles ... the Internet bubble is riding
on rock-solid fundamentals, perhaps stronger than any the market has seen before." We all know how
well THAT turned out. It is sorta sad though to see all these start-ups go out of business, while
the old guard corporations seem to be the only ones left standing.
On this day, 40 years ago, Yuri Gagarin
became the first man in history to go into space. Yes, for those who never payed attention in
history, a Russian was the first person in space, not America. NASA has a picture of the front page of a newspaper commerating
the event. And also on this day, the first space shuttle orbited the earth. It was
the Space Shuttle Columbia, and it was
only a 2 day mission. I wish I could be an astronaut.
