Sound familiar?

I have been so busy since getting back from Omaha that I have yet to have the chance to do a write-up on the Warren Buffett talk. However, I came across a web page at the Tuck School of Business that includes a good write-up of a trip a group of their students took recently to Omaha. The trip sounded like an exact duplicate of ours with a tour of the Nebraska Furniture Mart, followed by a question and answer session with Buffett, and later lunch at Gorat's.

 

While we are on the topic of reading things on the Internets that sound familiar, there is a blog at Kenan-Flagler called the KFBS Onyen. It is named after the login that every employee and student has here at UNC, pronounced "onion."  The KFBS Onyen comes out quarterly and spoofs individuals, events, and organizations here in the Kenan-Flagler community. The most recent issue had a posting that begins with the following:

 

"There has been a great deal of consternation over the 1st Year that writes a personal blog about his experiences here at Kenan-Flagler. For those of y'all that haven't read it, the 1st Year in question waxes poetic about a rival business school which snubbed him, causing him to seek refuge in Chapel Hill. To make matters worse, let's just say the writer doesn't toe our company line that KFBS is an academic utopia where the administration is strong, the faculty is beautiful and all of the students are above average."
