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:

    Working the Room at Facebook’s Times Square Party

    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.

    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.
