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.

    Hey! Where is everyone?

    I headed to Nasdaq headquarters in Times Square, ground zero of the biggest high tech stock offering ever, where Facebook would be welcomed into the arms of the investing public. And all I found was a bunch of CNBC cameras.

    The Creepy Dudes of Wall Street: Are Finance Guys Losing Their Mojo on the Dating Scene, Too?

    It’s tough to tell when an internet phenomenon reaches actual meme status. But, in the case of the “creepy finance guy,” I think we can finally call it.

    This week saw yet another jaw-dropping tale of Wall Street prattishness, this time in the form of a post-date survey. Yep, a finance dude went on a date with a lady. And then he asked her for constructive feedback.

    Been there, wasn’t particularly impressed.

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