reading

Just got finished reading this great book called "Making Ideas Happen". Scott Belsky does a great job of taking techniques used by other people/companies, summarizing them into a good set of everyday practicies that can lead you to making your own great ideas come to life.

I've already noticed a boost in productivity, just by simply wording the tasks in my daily To Do list with action verbs, and simply thinking of them as "actions" instead of tasks.  I wouldn't be writing in my blog right now if it wasn't for my bi-weekly "Write a blog" task I just started.

Definitely a great read for anyone that has a mind numbing amount of ideas floating around in their head, or even if you have one idea that you've been sitting on for a while and are stuck on where to begin.  Check it out.

Next on my list, "The Genius Machine".

Welcome 2010!!! It's a new year, a new decade, a new realm to play with new creations. Where have I been the first 3 months of it?  Playing playing playing, here are a few things I've been working on.

 Amazon realeased the Kindle 2 today.  Thinner, faster, more space, blah blah blah as with other product upgrades.  Even though its cool, and even though you get free wireless to download books whenever/wherever*, I'm still torn about owning one.  Why?  Because I still like the physical touch of books.  And probably just like I don't need the 80 gigs of mp3 I carry around on my iPod, I'm quite sure I don't need 1500 books.
