Winter 2008: not so good so far

A picture is worth a thousand words they say, what about a video?

bullet points

• Still no snow, at least not in the amount we anticipated from what we had last year. At least temperatures are low enough that spots of ice though kind of scary, are dry enough which is good when riding the bike on it without spikes on tires.
• Exchanges of e-mails with Maryse V. and Patrick T. today. It felt good to retrieve contacts with these two. It also felt just right to ask PT about that training in database I read a position about just last week as it’s supposed to take place where he works.
• Read a blog which, finally, sort of convinced me that the crazy trader who made SocGen loose billions acted on his own. Unreal. What possessed him to take so much risk?
