Yesterday, I went to Silverstone for the Audi Driving Experience.
Why? Well, Herman’s an Audi, and they invited me, and I thought it would be lots of fun. It was.
The day is a mix of fun and learning. You learn about grip, weight distribution, dealing with understeer and oversteer, and the limits of the car, and [...]

I see that some companies are making formal job offers by email these days.

Today is going to be very busy with already-planned interviews and the first day of the Lehman/Nomura merge, so half the day in the City and half in Canary Wharf.

If Barclays (or anyone) are going to buy any assets here they’ll have to hurry up, else there will be no one around to work it.
For now, another game of scrabble is in order, I [...]

So it seems that Barclays (the UK company based only a few mins walk from Lehman UK) has bought the Lehman US Investment Bank along with over 9,000 people. In the US.
That’s nice, but it kind of leaves us and our friends in Asia and Europe in an odd situation. After all, we are were [...]

I’ve got over 1500 photos in my Flickr photostream, and most of them have a handful of views, a few with a couple of hundred, but there are two with over 2000 This one (2958) and this one (2216).
But I wonder why.
One might think on the first one that having tags of “snog” and “woman” might [...]
