Kyle’s ending sentence reminded me of something I’ve noticed before: we at Bentley are not normal<\/em>. Even those of us who aren’t obsessed with starting the next big company still have business on our minds all the times.<\/p>\n

The other day one of my friends here remarked, “I want a Gap T-shirt.” Or at least, that’s how you’d have heard it. But what we heard, especially since a lot of my friends here are accounting majors, was, “I want a GAAP<\/a> T-shirt,” which is actually what he meant. He just said it and we all cracked up laughing. I think I’m going to try to whip one up in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

I came across this book<\/a> on Amazon today. It’s called “Amtrak Privitization: The Route to Failure.” And my first thought was, “That’s not at all what I’m looking for,” (I was looking for a book about car maintenance by someone with a similar name), “but it sounds really interesting.”<\/p>\n

The problem is, if you asked a sane<\/em> person what their opinion of the book was, I think they’d tell you that it was the most boring topic they could imagine. And here’s another book<\/a> that makes the opposite argument: the government should ditch Amtrak and let the private market “fix” it.<\/p>\n

Of course, Railroad Law a Decade after Deregulation<\/a> doesn’t grip me quite as much, especially at 50 cents a page.<\/p>\n

As an aside, there’s one copy<\/a> for $71.81 on half.com. The next is $101.98. In theory, you could buy it, read it (or use it as a doorstop), and then relist it around $95. It seems like it’s not a hot seller, but $71.81 is unnecessarily low on the part of that seller.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
