Madison photo album

I came back from Madison Thursday night (somewhat shockingly, my trip via O’Hare encountered no delays) but have been laid low by a Wisconsin cold ever since. So now I’m finally getting around to posting the leftover photos from my visit to the city whose mayor hopes to make it the most progressive city in America. (I would have thought it was already there, but whatever.)

To begin with, here’s the campus from high up in the House That Vitamin D Built, also known as the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation building:

And here’s more of a ground-level campus view, on Bascom Hill:

Here’s the extremely useful clock in the lobby of the main business school building:

This was my extremely useful rental bike:

I went out to visit some relatives in Fitchburg, south of Madison. These are geese preparing to land on one of their just-harvested corn fields:

And here’s the moon over some not-yet-harvested corn:

As for commenter Kert, who wants to know how I “rank” Madison, all I can say is, highly.

    Apple CEO Cook Gives Up $75M in Stock Dividends

    NEW YORK — Apple CEO Tim Cook is giving up $75 million in dividends on restricted stock that the company is awarding to all of its employees.

    In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, Apple Inc. said that Cook requested that his restricted stock units not receive dividends. The dividends that Apple workers are getting amount to $2.65 per quarter for each restricted stock unit held. The shares are not normally eligible to receive dividends, so Apple’s decision is a perk for its employees.

    The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm.

    Been there, wasn’t particularly impressed.

    Thanks for the corn field photos. I agree that Madison is a neat place.
