Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent.

One of Kind Gifts-- My Picks

If you are looking for that one of kind gift for someone here are my picks. National Geographic-  I came across this catalog last year and I was pleasantly surprised. They have items from all corners from the world from jeweled mirrors from India, wool jackets from Peru, and Egyptian perfume bottles; in addition to their famous videos on animals and nature. Metropolitan Museum of Art- They have the collection of my favorite artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, and while I may not have any of her paintings, I was able to buy a beautiful calendar that showcased her artwork. If you can't make it to New York for the exhibit on let's say the Prada exhibit-- on their website they have the excellent hard cover copy from excerpts of the exhibits. ABC Store- For, this store you do have to save up, but I was able to buy a replica of the Robert Indiana LOVE statue. That is what the world needs in LOVE... Museum of Natural History If you are into the "stars", then this is t...

Math and Science?

Many of my naturally gifted friends in math and science say that you need a  hard core math and physics background to succeed in the Digital enviornment and to know how to code. But, is this really true many computer coding programs are to me on the user friendly side. So why do you need a STEM Education? In order to have utlitity for your products or services STEM education, prepares you for the rigor of 5 step scientific method of questioning and testing a hypothesis in a control setting before bringing it to market. Or in social sciences you need to have a thesis and know how to use data sets to determine consumer behavior, this is  done in stats, which is the base of marketing. So yes STEM or what was basic education is needed in all areas of life especially technology, because you can't continue to run your IT Dept from Remote locations. If I were a VC I would need to see all both co founders have some technical skills and some fundamental understanding of STEM.
