Here are the books I finished during the month of October, 2015. I liked Armada better than I expected (based on Amazon reviews), but Cline’s Ready Player One is just too good. Sucks for him that he wrote his best work, first. 😉 Seeing this list made me realize I haven’t read the last book in The Passage Trilogy — … Read More
Anthro 200: Athabaskan Report
My last assignment in Anthropology 200 before starting my final exam (due Friday evening). http://jayjennings.com/files/AnthroAthabaskanLuck.pdf Just a quick page and a half with a look at the Athabaskan and their concept of “luck” when it comes to hunting. One thing not in the report that I found interesting during my research, was the number of Athabaskan language groups — more … Read More
Price Positioning Map for TRR
For my final assignment in my Marketing class I had to create a price positioning map and “Discuss what your company can do differently with their pricing strategy to stay competitive; if the evidence suggests that they are doing well with their pricing strategy you must present the evidence in a clear and concise framework.” http://jayjennings.com/files/BA260PricePositioning.pdf That’s what I ended … Read More
Weapons and Warfare of the Tlingit
If you want to read about Weapons and Warfare of the Tlingit you can find it at the following link (a PDF file). It was the research paper for my Anthropology A200 class. http://jayjennings.com/files/Anthro200Research.pdf I thought I might get docked for adding humor and editorial comments to the paper, but nope. 🙂
Three Ring Ranch: The 4P’s
Three Ring Ranch 4 P’s Place: Online business, which saves on inventory, rent, etc. Products: Video tutorials that are aimed at beginning game developers. Pricing: Competitive with similar offerings; price testing often. Promotion: Focused on social media. Single worst P of the bunch. Of the 4 P’s for Three Ring Ranch (TRR), the place is the easiest one to talk about because TRR is … Read More
Anthro A200: Immigrants to Alaska
(From my Fall 2015 Anthropology mid-term exam.) An ethnography is a description of the customs of different people and their culture. In looking at the history of Alaska Natives archaeology is an important part of building an ethnography because there are no written records to give us descriptions of life in Alaska hundreds and thousands of years ago. Discovering artifacts … Read More
September 2015 Reading List
Books I read during the month of September — and hey, there’s actually a non-fiction book in there this time (one of my school books). Not sure why I’ve never read the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly before now. There are 20+ and he’s been writing them since the early 90s. They’re the kind of books my Mom would … Read More
August 2015 Reading List
Not sure I’ll do this next year — while I kind of like to look back and see what I’ve read, I can’t help thinking about how much “stuff” I could have gotten done if I hadn’t read all those books… Eight of those books are rereads — I read them at some time during the past, Thanks to my … Read More
Aleut Story Report
For my Anthropology 200 Natives of Alaska class I had to watch a film called Aleut Island and write a short report about it. The film talks about the US using the Aleuts as slave labor and decimating them in internment camps during WWII. You know, normal stuff. Here’s a link to a PDF copy of the report if you’d … Read More
July 2015 Reading List
These are the books I finished reading in July, 2015. Honestly, I think there might have been one or two more, but I was trying to cut back on my reading to work on a new game and didn’t write everything down as soon as I finished reading it. Dragon City by Robin Hobb Dragon Blood by Robin Hobb Girl … Read More
