Red!
For the first time, I headed over to Stanford early this morning to the Concours d’Elegance sponsored by the Palo Alto Lions Club. This annual event brings together car fanciers (I’m actually not one!) from all over northern California. And, … Continue reading
Eating Crow!

I remember as a kid going to one of those Home Shows – where various vendors are trying to get your attention to sell you stuff – and seeing a big “floating faucet fountain” where the faucet was suspended in … Continue reading
Renegade
I’ve just started reading Richard Wolffe’s new book Renegade: The Making of a President – all about the Obama presidential campaign. Wow, this guy can write – I’m finding it very hard to put down – it’s very well done … Continue reading
Contempt for Authority
Just read a nice profile of Edward Tufte by Adam Aston in BusinessWeek. Loved the opening quote: “My father once told me that I would never be successful because I have too much contempt for authority,” says Edward Tufte. “I … Continue reading
