Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street — Michael Lewis

This book is about Michael starting a trainee program with Salomon Brothers, moving to London and getting a successful junk bonds broker. It’s about young people on Wall Street making loads of money. Reading this book makes you feel you’ve chosen the wrong job (money wise). Looking back at the current banking crisis makes you feel that you can’t have high enough tax rates for bankers and people like this.

A zoom into the Mandelbrot set, billions and billions times the size of the Universe. I like this as my first fractal experience was with this set. I programmed it using Turbo Pascal and a graphics lib for the Hercules Card made in assembler (monochrome 720x350). I was alway jealous of the great colors showed below that weren’t possible on Hercules.
