PDF to happiness

I've been doing some work for Dresdner Kleinwort recently, who conduct some interesting macro-economic research. One of their stars is a guy call James Montier, who writes about behaviours involved in investing. He's written a particularly interesting article on the psychology of happiness, which is well worth the read even though it's in a PDF.

My son on TV

I'm not grooming him for a career in television, but he's started anyway. Go to BBC London TV and Radio and follow the link to Nursing to be cut in Barnet.
Oh yes, and the missus is on there too.
It's an important story, so worth watching, if parochial.

Being a dad

I've recently (5 days ago) discovered the joys of fatherhood. I'm not (yet) going to post images, because I have a feeling they're slightly exploitative, so I've simply mailed them to everyone I know.
The benefits of having a son are immediate. You can fart in any room he's in and blame it on him. "Not another one, stinky, that was a loud one!" and letimotivs of that sort. Then you can claim you need to go and change him. Kudos for risking urine and faeces all over you, when really it just gets you out of having to watch Big Brother.
