Ravenweb Blog: Free Books
http://ravenhost.blogspot.com/p/free-books.html
Ravenweb features books reviews and posts about popular culture, technology, and writing. It's time for me to pare down on books. I often donate books to libraries, but I also like to pass titles on to readers I know. If you're local to me, I'm happy to coordinate a time and place to meet with you to make the exchange. If you're long distance, I will ship books to you as long as you pay for the shipping in advance. Allende, Isabel - The Infinite Plan. Amis, Martin - Night Train. Banks, Iain - Matter.

Ravenweb Blog: Garden of Your Mind
http://ravenhost.blogspot.com/2015/01/garden-of-your-mind.html
Ravenweb features books reviews and posts about popular culture, technology, and writing. Friday, January 23, 2015. Garden of Your Mind. A few years ago I attended a conference in which one of the presenters showed the Mr. Rogers "Garden of Your Mind" remix. It went over well and inspired the attendees. Every since then, whenever I get ready to attend a business event where I'll be exposed to new ideas and meet new people, I think about these lyrics from the "Garden of Your Mind". Some can do things.

Ravenweb features books reviews and posts about popular culture, technology, and writing. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Work Rules by Laszlo Bock. A few years ago, I wrote a blog post comparing technology companies to countries. It is evident that I was right about at least one thing: Google does have a truly distinctive culture. As a high level summary, Bock distills key "work rules" into ten steps that can transform a team or workplace:. 1 Give your work meaning. 2 Trust your people. 5 Focus on the two tails.

Ravenweb features books reviews and posts about popular culture, technology, and writing. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Books Read in 2013. I was very busy in 2013 launching Date on Purpose, and unfortunately did not read as much as in past years. Still, even though I read less, I enjoyed a lot of what I read from this past year. Notable titles included Daring Greatly. By Brene Brown (go watch her TED talks right now if you are unfamiliar with her), Tina Fey's Bossypants. Happy Holidays and happy reading!
