The We Endure page makes me feel unhealthy and unfit. I prefer the “defunct” blog :-)

Great meeting all of you!

Yesterday, you guys inspired me to think about getting my online act together and today you shame me by linking to my basically defunct blog. You are more likely to find up to date posts on my We Endure page. James sold me on Picassa over Flickr, but I don't think I am ever going to start Twittering. Very much enjoyed the afternoon out. Thanks all.

[...] Roo has already written up our lunch meeting with James, Adrian and Mark yesterday. He was taking notes, so his post is more detailed. From my perspective, it was an excellent afternoon and a good opportunity to do more real-world networking. Through my online networks I’m continuing to come into contact with some very interesting people, and I hope that we can keep those connections going. [...]

I can highly recommend “The Black Swan”.

I heard about it via EconTalk (http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2007/04/taleb_on_black.html) and bought the book off the back of the PodCast.

It is highly readable and has the annoying property of making you late for whatever you’re supposed to be doing afterwards as it’s impossible to put down.

If I have one regret, it is that I read it too fast; I need to read it again to allow its (many) insights to sink in.
