Exclusive images from behind the Orange Curtain!

Sorry for the anemic posting this week. I seem to have mostly recovered from the horrible disease I had a couple days ago, although I’ve been warned by lots of people (including Curious Capitalist Jr.) that it will probably recur. And now I’m in Southern California for a family thing (the funeral of a beloved grandmother-in-law, to be specific). So there won’t be a whole lotta blog output today either. But I have taken these lovely photos with my Blackberry from the “sun deck” of the Holiday Inn Express in Costa Mesa. Which I can recommend for the surprisingly high quality of its linens. But not for the view.

Update: My Costa Mesan cousin thinks its terribly unfair of me to run two such ugly photos from one of the most beautiful places on the planet. So here’s a shot of Blackie’s Beach I took last summer:

    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.

    Study: Typical CEO Pay Up 6% to $9.6 Million

    NEW YORK — Profits at big U.S. companies broke records last year, and so did pay for CEOs.

    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.

    My condolences.

    But as a small-world thing, you might be able to see the Arco station where I bought gas this morning, and I headed inland on that FWY this morning.

    If you get a chance, a walk down by the old cottages is nice to unwind. (The boondoggle factor in converting improvised cottages to state park accommodations might provide an painful/amusing subtext.)

    Awww, I could have waved to you!

    Can you wave to my in-laws on Missouri Street?

  • Justin Fox

    I dunno, Felix. I’m told that’s on the other side of the freeway.
