THE FUTURE OF SLOANBLOG
After some consideration and discussion with various parties (ok, maybe just Rob Byrne), we here at OVERHEARD have decided to keep the blog going, for as long as the Man over at Blogger and Google continue to keep the service free. Of course, given the gadzillions they raked in with the IPO, damn right they should keep it free.

So now, apart from being a forum for various random thoughts and overheard quotes from 2004 Sloanies now scattered throughout the globe, OVERHEARD is open for posts from you. New addition to the family, events you might be organizing, an open invite to your vacation home in the British Virgin Islands - everything is welcome! (Well, with the possible exception of porn site links from Lionel).

How to post on the blog:
Option 1: Ask to be made a member of the blog. Send an email to michelle@sloan.mit.edu and I will send you an invite and you can start posting away using the Blogger interface.
Option 2: Use the general member account. Username: sloanie04. Password: a certain building we [used to] hold near and dear to our hearts. If you can't figure it out, shoot an email over to michelle_at_sloan. You can access the blog dashboard [main website] through here. Please remember to format your posts the way they're done in the rest of the blog.
Option 3: Use the comments section. We've recently added this section so everyone can post to it, no emails necessary. What you write in the comments won't show up in the main page, though.

So basically, this is going to be some sort of blog-bulletin board hybrid that people can use to keep in touch with. In the interest of keeping things entertaining, we'd appreciate wit, snark and all those things that make good copy in your posts. (helpful hint: keep quoting Lance) Happy posting!

P.S. If you have any websites that you want people to see, email us and we'll link to you over on the right. So far, we have Mark's blog at Techwalk but we'd love to have more.
And just when you thought all that drinking in b-school was a bit much
Researchers at University College London say otherwise. Which brings me to another quote (or to be more accurate, paraphrase) from our friend Mr. Kechley.

"After business school, I thought I should get my drinking habits to somewhere more reasonable. So drinks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - three out of the seven days a week -seemed fine."

Ideas, ideas, ideas.

It's been a couple of months since graduation and this space has been dormant for a while. Am not sure if we should end the blog as we speak, or use this as a space for people to post on from time to time (as a way to keep up on our class from 2004). Any ideas are welcome. Send them all to michelle@sloan.mit.edu

In the meantime, welcome to the working world people!
