Driving Peeves Oct 26 2009

Its a quick post this.

I’ve just returned from a 30hr round trip, in 2 days, from Vienna. Driving.

We all make mistakes when driving, its the way it is.

But, if I make a mistake when overtaking someone, into an oncoming vehicle, I wish to God, the oncoming vehicle wouldn’t flash me 100+times. This only makes my situation worse. It doesn’t help.

What are your pet peeves when driving?

Be sure to watch the video to the end. His Education piece makes so much sense.

General Manager / CEO for Ceevee.com Feb 03 2009

I just posted the following message on Twitter:

“Looking for a General Manager for Ceevee. If this could be you, email me your resume: lee@ceevee.com”

This suddenly had a flood of responses asking “what is the salary and compensation”. 

I will state this much, the salary is based on experience, and the compensation package offered will match that of any other major RO startup on the web.

But please, if your first question to me is “how much” please don’t expect to be one of the first to be replied to as because its about 50% proof that it doesn’t matter what the role involves as long as the money is there.

I want to work with people who care about the project more than I do, people who want to turn it into a multimillion $ business and beyond.

The role of General Manager is similar to that of CEO within any web-startup. Think of yourself as the Chief of Staff if this was a political party.

If this is you, ping me your Resume, Salary Expectations, and a short letter as to why I should choose you, and we’ll go from there. Worst case scenario is that we’ll get to share a nice coffee and it will be the start of another friendship.

 

F18 over Bucharest Sep 20 2008

We took a little ride today, and to our amazement we saw an F18 (assume F18) Fighter Jet flying over head.

What we proceeded to see was a truly amazing pilot putting his machine through its paces. 

In the video clip below, you can just about make him out, he’s a little black dot! But pay special attention to 1min 1sec into the movie, center of the screen. 

I am still in awe by the way this guy flew. Top marks to him. 

Does he by any chance fly for Tarom too?
