I just received word that I have been admitted into the International Business Strategy Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program at the Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy. I was talking to them last year about possibly applying, since the Ministry of Education recently changed the rules so people could apply for a doctorate program without a masters degree. Unfortunately, I don't even have an undergraduate degree so it was tough nuggies for me. They changed the rules this year and let me apply again and I got in. I guess this makes me the least educated student to ever be admitted. hmm...

Anyway, the real reason I'm doing this isn't the degree, although that's nice. It's a very cool program where I will be able to use the resources of the university including research and the professors. My only deliverable is a book on the sharing economy. I don't have to take any classes and the topic really fits right in with Creative Commons, blogging and everything else I'm doing. I'm a big fan of many of the professors at the school and I am really psyched to be able to exploit them officially now. ;-)

A pair of articles from Reuters and USA Today try to extrapolate the buying habits of students returning to college, which would be sort of interesting if there were some hard numbers, but they're mostly a "Talk to Analysts, See What They Like," sort of thing. Still, it's good to hear that Averatec's C3500 Tablet PC is selling well; I haven't used one, but the price is right, for sure. Other stalwarts like Palms and Sidekicks and iPods aren't that surprising, but the USA Today article, claiming the success of the iPod this year is causing more students to purchase Apple laptops (specifically iBooks) is curious. I'm a little sketched, honestly, but I'm looking forward to the numbers later this year. Even Apple themselves has said they don't really expect the iPod to translate into increased sales numbers for the Mac.

And even if more students are using Macs, it's not as if that means they'll continue to use them out in the real world. I mean, everybody that that first smoked pot in college immediately stopped on the day they graduated, right?
