I'm always amazed at how dependant I am on power. Even when I realize no power and grab the six pack, no tv, no computer, no light, no nothing. And drinking beer and reading a book sucks. Sigh, luckily for me I have a deck of cards stashed.<BR/><BR/>BigglesGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226752086965927353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1141168550866364232006-02-28T15:15:00.000-08:002006-02-28T15:15:00.000-08:00It's good!

From what he tells me so far, anyone who reads dailykos.com regularly will be already familiar with a lot of their arguments. Cranky doesn't read dk regularly, and everything he's quoted from the book so far is... well, I *already knew.* But I think it will be great to devour it in a big gulp.<BR/>Hadn't heard of the Pink book. (Pub. date March 24.) I'll wait and see how you like it.<BR/>Have you read "Blink"?<BR/>all right, all right, sorry, people.<BR/>We now return to our usual programming.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1141167220225762992006-02-28T14:53:00.000-08:002006-02-28T14:53:00.000-08:00Ooh!

Is it worth reading by flashlight?<BR/><BR/>I just stumbled across a book I must track down: <I>A Whole New Mind</I> by Daniel Pink. Have you heard of it? It's all about right-brained thinking and the 21st Century economy (or at least I <I>think</I> it is). I'm hoping it'll do the trick and convince me that my usless liberal arts degree wasn't all that useless after all.MizDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143579988879218142noreply@blogger.com
