And then they were gone...

Sadly, I stumbled on a photo that reminded me of that smiley face that I will no longer see.
Kay was a quiet strength during the tumultuous university years.  Thank you for those times, and I hope to live up to your memory...

Rediscovering Paris

Living in Paris for 4 years seems a long time ago. Walking in the small streets around Opera seemed like discovering a foreign unknown city within your own town...I suppose I never ventured in this area before. Similarly, wandering around Gare de Lyon is about rediscovering the sights from days past, and fixing those fuzzy feelings again.

Today is shopping day. No big surprise there.

The sky is blue so far so maybe I will walk around the Marais as well, to test my credit card discipline..muahahahha

Relativity, choice, anchoring, the power of "free" and more

I finally started reading a book I bought a few weeks ago by curiosity. I cannot remember which article mentioned it, but it was probably one of those social science article.

The book is titled "predictably irrational", by Dan Ariely. It's very informative, and good fun to read. Most importantly, it makes me reflect on my decision patterns, or try to identify some patterns I have if any.

I strongly recommend this for those who have an interest in understanding some unexplicable behaviour, or just some source of cocktail party anecdotes.
