Talking to Strangers : What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell is a good read. Real interesting.

Malcolm Gladwell's new one: DAVID AND GOLIATH Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants. The NYT review states: "Maybe what “David and Goliath” really illustrates is that it’s time for Malcolm Gladwell to find a new shtick." I will still buy it. Coupon and reductions make it half-price.

Madison Square Eats is still going strong. Had another Brisket Taco with Blue Point Oktoberfest.

The Yankees are in the Playoffs.



Survivor Nicaragua is on my viewing schedule. I like watching this Psychological experiment. It is like watching intelligent Lab Rats.



The New Yorker has an interesting piece by Malcolm Gladwell entitled Small Change.

He argues that real Social change will not come about from the likes of Twitter or Facebook. “Strong-tie” v. "weak-tie" connections and the difference between networks, which are the opposite, in structure and character, of hierarchies , make change that people will fight for difficult in the new Social Networks. Worth reading.

NYT Book Review inspires me to buy or read:
R. Crumb's Book of Genesis Illustrated.



Also, Malcolm Gladwell's: What
the Dog Saw.



Now on HBO on demand. Missed it during its
run. Well worth watching.
