I've read Malcolm Gladwell's new book "Outliers: the story of success" and if you're curious what I thought, I've written a review on helium.com. Overall, I'd give the book a C. Read my Helium review here. In keeping with the success theme, I've moved on to "Talented is Overrated" a book by Geoff Colvin which Gladwell referenced. I hope to have my thoughts up shortly.

Winning the war on terror one terrified citizen at a time. Friday, January 02, 2009. Talking Heads and the comedy of suits. Alright, so I just watched the Talking Heads concert movie "Stop Making Sense" and at one point David Byrne comes onstage in a giant suit and it's both mesmerizing and funny.

Ya han pasado unos días desde Thanksgiving. O Acción de Gracias. A pronunciar Pisco Sagüer. Preparado por una pareja de amigos chilenos. La comida, como ya he dicho, jugosa y bañada en Riojas, California y Chile, por eso de dar gusto a todos. Había, por supuesto, pavo con el relleno característico y la salsa o gravy.
