Amazon gift card $25, free shipping at $35 made this book a buy. I have read Isaacson a lot, he is a good writer, always picks great topics.



This guy used to write the New York Times Tech column. He tipped me to "CTRL F" to search words on a web page. Much easier than dropping down the Edit command.



The NY Post and the NY Daily News both have the same headlines for front and back pages.

From today's NYT Crossword: Swans Reflecting Elephants by Salvador Dalí.



The Linsanity continues as the Knicks beat the Mavs. Game ball to Novak.



Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs will be a good read. I've read Isaacson before and he is a terrific writer. Of course, I purchased the E-Book version, digital seemed appropriate.

A quick trip to the Library resulted in these two books. I've read Isaacson before: 1-The Wise Men(with Evan Thomas): Six Friends and the World They Made: Acheson, Bohlen, Harriman, Kennan, Lovett, and McCloy,2-Benjamin Franklin and 3-Einstein. He's a terrific writer who simplifies the complex as well as anyone.



I've never read this early Richard Powers work.
This looks good. Science and emotions, a recurring theme.
