After a crazy couple of months, I though October might give me some respite, but how wrong can you get?! Different challenges to the usual, this time though: New York & back in 40 hours; crash course learning a new prototyping tool; consolidating 4 email accounts, each with a different host, & migrating to a new provider; implementing a new wordpress theme; and teaching Noah to play rugby! More after the jump, if you’re interested…
What I’m doing
- attending Finovate 08 in New York
- learning how to use iRise
- building an iPhone app prototype
- heading to London for a family Halloween holiday
- giving Fincision a winter makeover
- migrating my email & calendar hosting to Google Apps
- attending Jon Wheeler’s farewell bash
What I’m reading
- The Brass Verdict (Michael Connelly) – on pre-order; will be reading on the 17th, if Amazon get their act together
- Exotic Preferences: Behavioural Economics and Human Motivation (George Loewenstein) – the first of several books on behavioural finance/ economics that I’ll be immersing myself in over the next few weeks
Websites that I’ve bookmarked recently
- coveritlive.com – great live blogging tool; can’t wait to use it “in anger”
- boulevardr.com – hybrid on/ offline US-based advice site; wondering how they’re gonna scale this…
- inner8.com – sexy US site aimed at self-directed investors
- justthrive.com – online advice for the millenial generation; interesting!
What I’m watching
- Heineken European Cup Rugby – gotta love a Heineken weekend: 12 games over 3 days, most of them live on Sky…
- The Restaurant – this’ll do until the next series of The Apprentice
- 300 – my favourite movie of 2008 so far; just hoping Hollywood doesn’t decide to make ‘301′…
- The Rocky Series – ’nuff said.
What I’m listening to
- Right here right now (David Benoit) – dug this up whilst going through a pile of old CDs (remember them? I’m not talking certificates of deposit…)
- LA Meetings (Arturo Sandoval) – got that trumpeting thing going on again…
