Wow References Via Visual Very Cool

Worthwhile reading comes from many sources. Right now my participation in a service called Shelfari is limited, but the concept seems laudable, a listing of what a person is reading. It visually portrays the readings you are involved in and shows folks what you are consuming. It's a marvelous visual to reference great reads. Long ago I learned that those who are highly educated read not only a lot, but they read differently than others- they read, selectively. Here is a book which was referenced from a movie, I was curious as to whether or not it was a valid reference, so often Hollywood doesn't get the references correct, nonetheless, it is a valid reference it seems and worthwhile reading, see what you think about it? Also it seems we've beaten Chris Voss to a new gadget? Hmm check it out?

Oh my what a post


She truly has an amazing site. Now look, you guys know me well enough to know that I will really have to stretch to buy into what Tania is publishing about, BUT- one thing I love to precaution my friends about is; when we think we know better, we better know we don't.
Folks do yourself a flavor and check out Tania's blog, I can guarantee you that even if you don't agree with her, it makes for some interesting reading. -Dana ---hey, almost forgot, if you haven't tried this one check it out: http://www.adeduline.org/b/MAR1/

Alot to offer

Sometimes we want to spend a lot of time thinking things over. For example, people will ask me to tell them about me, but really, what can you say, I've gone to school for sixteen years of getting into books? Only to see the fictionalized plot imagined out in a movie, "Knowing" Which, while it has a lot to offer, offers hope in a varied form. Hope in my opinion is what separates us as people, and it seems to me that perhaps hope is a lot to offer?
Thousands of books, five books a week for over 27 years? Hmm...would that be right, let's see, 5X52X27= 7020; yup, that's thousands of books, and the funny part is, only two of the five per week were for entertainment, like Robert B. Parker's Spenser series, those I love to read. The other three per week were educational or schoolastic in nature, such as statistics, algebra, how to market, how to write, law, business law (McMillan's 6th Ed. on Bus Law let me contribute); and others, were all designed to help me learn to write really fine reports. Throughout three degrees beyond high school, all my efforts have been toward learning to help to communicate to others those things that really matter. So my sense is that sometimes we find varied sources that really have a lot to offer, and maybe, just maybe, we should take advantage of that? Lately I've been wondering about that...so, while you please comment on this one, consider this:
