New Orleans was so much fun...

New Orleans was so much fun... 08/10/2004 05:42 PM

...that I still haven't recovered :)

The trip was actually a birthday gift for my Dad from his three sons, and we all had a great time. We stayed at the R oyal Sonesta Hotel, which is smack dab in the middle of Bourbon Street. My room had a balcony overlooking the street, which was a great place to hang out and watch the freaks go by (until we joined them, of course). Apparently the Mardi Gras atmosphere stays alive all year on Bourbon Street - the number of sober people rapidly declined as the night wore on, and the number of bead-tossers rapidly increased. I was honored to have a young lady toss me some beads and ask me to strip in return, but given that I'm a married man I wasn't about to shed any clothes (now, if she would've tossed me an iPod instead of beads...).

Apart from the wild night life, other highlights included a trip to the Voodoo Museum, a tour of the Honey Island Swamp (complete with a 14ft alligator that was coaxed out of hiding with a few marshmallows), and a Louis Armstrong parade that was part of the Satch mo SummerFest. The parade may have been my favorite - watching the entire street dance to the sound of the marching New Orleans jazz band was quite a treat. Rock-n-roll may have its share of party music, but it's nothing compared to live New Orleans jazz.

Of course, the downside of having a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street is that the noise from the crowd keeps going until daybreak, so I've hardly slept since Friday. Recuperating from three late nights in a row is making me feel my age!

Nevertheless, if you take the time to explore this site you will find some truly wonderful photographs< /a>. Some are more technical surveyor-style photographs, but others are akin to the realist style being carved out at the time by folks like Walker Evans< /a>, who actually did do some photography for the Farm Security Administration (another New Deal-era project).

Hurricane Risk for New Orleans

Hurricane Risk for New Orleans 09/14/2004 10:50 AM
Hurricane Risk for New Orleans: "if that Category Five Hurricane comes to New Orleans, 50,000 people could lose their lives. Now that is significantly larger than any estimates that we would have of individuals who might lose their lives from a terrorist attack. When you start to do that kind of calculus - and it's horrendous that you have to do that kind of calculus - it appears to those of us in emergency management, that the risk is much more real and much more significant, when you talk about hurricanes. I don't know that anybody, though, psychologically, has come to grip with that: that the French Quarter of New Orleans could be gone." (Nb. this excerpt from a fascinating 2002 American RadioWorks documentary does not refer specifically to Ivan.)

Not All Venture Money Chasing Me Too
Plays 12/22/2003 07:43 PM
While conventional wisdom is that venture capital moves in a sheep-like herd, all investing in similar "hot" space, not all deals fit those criteria. The latest venture capital study of VC investments in 2003 tur ned up a number of investments that are considered "odd", in that they're certainly not in areas where you see VCs shoving each other aside to get in on the deal. This includes the makers of "hybrid" metal/wood baseball bats and a company that makes energy efficient traffic lights, with security cameras hidden inside. Of course, if you look at the numbers of these deals, they all tend to be pretty small bets, so you have to wonder if there's something more to the deal. The article also doesn't identify who the VC was who invested in these deals - and my guess is that they're not done by any of the bigger name VCs, but rather smaller niche market VCs.
