Getting an MBA

I've been toying a lot with the idea of getting an MBA lately. But with the economy being what it is, I am not sure this is the right time. To get a start and to see if it is even for me. I'm exploring this reading list by: Personalmba.com's 77 Best Business Books. It is the Personal MBA Recommended Reading List:

There are so many books on that list that I've wanted to read. The categories are:

• Quick Start
• Productivity & Effectiveness
• Psychology & Communication
• Design & Production
• Marketing, Sales, & Negotiation
• Entrepreneurship
• Management & Leadership
• Strategy & Innovation
• Finance & Analysis
• Personal Finance

Scrum Testing: Lessons Learned from Scrum Implementation at Google

This is a long video but definitely worth your time if you would like to learn further on Agile Software Development's Scrum Methodology. I've done this at only one company and it was overall very successful. I liked how it set clear roles, I think there was less confusion. I loved having access to all the different people in the different roles. I love love the fact that anyone can contribute. At least that's what we did. On a side note: I truly enjoyed the sometimes silly banter on who is the "Pig" and who is the "Chicken." :-)

The New Kindle 2.0 is out

You may recall that I purchase Kindle 1.0 back in October when Oprah Winfrey had that special. What I didn't say and I should have said is how I justified the purchase. Most kindle books are sold for $9.99 so after a while I'll make up the price of Kindle! Instead of paying $25 for hardcovers, etc. I know not all the books I'd purchase are that high in price but not all of them would be around $9.99 either.

Anyhow. Here is an article, I'd like to share:
