I know who will be getting some of my money this year. Anyone want to guess who?

I love seeing glimpses into how people organize themselves around work and processes. Especially when it is a company I admire.

To dismiss netbooks as like laptops, but lamer is to completely miss the importance of this pivotal moment in computing – when pervasive internet and the mass production of inexpensive portable computers finally intersected. I’m talking about unlimited access to the complete sum of human knowledge, and free, unfettered communication with anyone on earth. For everyone

An interesting take on this market. One that I had not considered before and almost makes me want to buy one just to “support the cause”.

I described my fantasies about root beer. I could smell it, taste it, feel it. I desired it. I said I’d remembered so clearly that day with my father for the first time in 60 years.

“You never thought about it before?” Johnny asked.

“Not once.”

“Could be, when the Lord took away your drinking, he gave you back that memory.”

Whether my higher power was the Lord or Cormac McCarthy, those were the words I needed to hear. And from that time I began to replace what I had lost with what I remembered.

May we all be so blessed as to learn from this.

Facinating and in depth look at the man behind “Whole Paycheck”. He is full of confliction and contradiction — which could be the very thing that makes him sucessful.

Great little guide with simple rules that would benefit anyone who follows them (not to mention the reader).
