Blink vs. Moneyball

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Head over this way to read a post on whether Blink or Moneyball was more relevant to the founder’s skill set. I am more of a Blink guy. I rely on my instincts, right or wrong.

Liar’s Poker Update

Monday, June 7th, 2010

As I’m reading The Big Short by Michael Lewis, my mind can’t help but wander to his other book on the financial world, Liar’s Poker. This morning I was thinking about Dr. Mike Burry and I remembered reading this update on Liar’s Poker and thought it was worth mentioning.

Radish (An Excerpt from Plenty)

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Take a single crop: the radish. We had eaten the baby greens, then the radish root itself, boiled the later greens for stock, tossed the flowers in salads, enjoyed the young seedpods as a hot, crunchy snack in early fall. Our inability to feed the world is not an agricultural failure; it is a failure both of imagination and of kindness.

An excerpt from Plenty (2 and a half pickles out of 5, if you want my review) that touches on how much use we can get from a single food. It takes creativity and resourcefulness, two qualities that don’t get enough attention when it comes to preparing a (great) meal.

Ideal Bookshelf

Monday, May 17th, 2010

I’ve seen the Ideal Bookshelf mentioned twice recently and would really like to get one made. Just having a hard time figuring which books I’d select. Current choices are as follows (and also my personal favorites). Stay tuned…list is developing.

The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand

On the Road, Jack Kerouac

Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand

Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway

Hoping to add Infinite Jest soon. And, maybe Edward Tufte’s books and/or something by Michael Lewis?
