(text en català a continuació) Speaking of “hey look at me!” posts… early last year I thought I wanted to do a series of video podcasts that featured (rather, sort of compared and contrasted) Barcelona and New York. I go back and forth quite a bit so I thought I could get plenty of fresh footage [...]

This is scary stuff! I fly transatlantic all the time on Delta / Northwest. I take an Ambien and I sleep. I also wear earplugs. If the guy that tried to bring this plane down had been sitting next to me I probably would have slept right through it. I hate airports. I hate all the [...]

The hard economic times in Spain have been making the major news media in the US. Here are two reports from NBC news. The first one is from tonight’s broadcast. It’s about the truckers’ strike. Here in the US we’re having a hard time coming to terms with $4.00 for a gallon of gas. [...]

Client meetings, business meetings, investment meetings, jetlag…. got up early and went for a run this morning.

I have a clear goal now. I need to lose about 5 kg (11 lbs aproximately) by the end of this month. My running course in Barcelona is probably the most beautiful I’ve ever had. I’ve got the beach and the Montjüic Park including the Olympic Ring all within blocks of our place. I start my [...]

Last night I was on a flight from London to Barcelona (yes, on British Airways, no more of that EasyJet BS) and caught this film of lightning going on in the clouds below. I got a really good glimpse of the full moon cloaked in wisps of clouds at dusk too but it didn’t [...]
