Every football helmet ever

As much as I love football, I've never paid a lot of attention to the uniforms. I do like logos though, and I was devastated when the Pats ditched their fantastic "Pat the Patriot" logo in 1993 for the "Flying Elvis" replacement. What I didn't know was that, before Pat the Patriot, the team had simply had a picture of a revolutionary's hat as their logo. It's actually really badass because it's understated, in my opinion. If they made a hat or t-shirt with this logo on it today, and fans knew it was the 1960 team logo, I bet it would sell really well. I know I'd buy it.

The Helmet Project

Anyway, if you want to kill some time, or see what your team used to look like, check out The National Helmet Project.

Notes from the 1st few days of my 2nd year @ HBS It's the "shopping period" @ HBS, where we test out different classes & choose our favorite 5. I've noticed that I can tell within 2 minutes of sitting in a class whether or not the professor is a gifted teacher. I'll be making my choices without regard for subject matter, focusing only on teacher talent. This is why I'll probably be taking a tax class, & skipping class called "Strategy & Technology", which SOUNDS like it'd be perfect for me. We have wifi during class this year. This means I can write short posts or use Twitter in class. However, the friends I made last year only male up 10% of my fellow students this year. This means I'll probably take few pictures, as I hate shooting strangers. I'm gonna be really busy with reading and classes in the 1st half of every week, & should have more time for life maintenance & running my business Wednesday-Saturday. I guess if my apartment is clean & my blog is active, my business isn't doing well, so hopefully you won't see as much of me :-) On a separate note: I get great feedback from my cat each morning. If he enjoyed our previous evening, he leaves Lisa & I a gift outside the bedroom. If we are too busy to play with him, he tends to give us nothing. The gift is usually a rolled up pair of socks. He treats these like mice, so it seems very generous when he gives us one. Well, 2 days ago we spent about 20 minutes right before bed hunting bugs (his absolute greatest passion). He spots the bug & then I lift him up so he can reach it (they're usually too high up for him to reach on his own). Well, we had 2 big take downs, & then I hit the hay. I wake up & he's brought me both socks and a thing of rice cakes from the kitchen! I think it must have been the heaviest food he could drag to our doorstep. What a toughtful cat. One final note: I'm currently a 37" waist. I was a 32/33 when I graduated college, & I'm about 10 heavier now. Hard to believe, I know. Anyway, I recently guaranteed Lisa that I'd be a 34" waist by our wedding day, 9/20/08, so I'm gonna have to make some lifestyle changes....

Great quote from my entrepreneurial finance professor "I'm sure you're all tired of looking at these cases through the 'People, Opportunity, Context, and Deal' framework. I know I am, and I invented it!" From Prof. Bill Sahlman, in HBS' second year course: Entrepreneurial Finance
