My current read: Founding Brothers

Here’s the book I’m currently reading: Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis.

Ellis won a Pulitzer Prize for this book, and after reading just the intro, prologue and the first “section”, I can see why.

The premise behind the book is to explain one of the most important decades in our nation’s history — beginning in 1790 — through the prism of six events.

It’s a unique approach to historical storytelling, and it is really a fascinating read thus far.

I highly recommend it, and I won’t finish it for another day or two.

Think like da Vinci

As I filter through a week’s worth of links, I came across a post over at LifeOptimizer that summarizes Michael J. Gelb’s How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci.

I love da Vinci, and I love books of this sort. Needless to say, I just downloaded it from Audible.com and will give it a listen.

Check out the post. It’s a great read.

Following local Twitterers

I joined the Twitter bandwagon a few weeks ago. I’ve not really posted too much. Joined more than anything for a client.

That said, after reading this post over at ReadWriteWeb, I found a few people in and around the Jackson area and added them to my list.

I’ll try again to join the fun, see what it’s all about. Who knows, I may or may not like it.

Ramblings and quick shots

I’ve added a new tab on my blog: Ramblings. This is for quick posts, thoughts that pop in my head I want to share and a place to be lazy and not write much.

See, this is one of those posts. Short, huh?
