São Paulo

I got to go to São Paulo , Brazil, on a business trip from January 15 through January 21, 2006. This was my first time in Brazil; I had a great time and would go again. We stayed at L’Hotel, a very nice hotel near one of the major shopping and banking streets, Avenida Paulista. […]

Getting Things Done

Title: Getting Things Done Author: David Allen Paperback: 267 pages Publisher: Penguin Books (January, 2003) ISBN: 0142000280 This is a very good book – it was recommended, as an aside, in an RSS news feed I read regularly (the main thrust was recommending a web-based list management site, tasktoy). David Allen suggests that we spend […]

Pompeii: Stories from an Eruption

Aviva and I went to the “Pompeii: Stories from an Eruption” exhibit at the Field Museum. This was a very good exhibit (even if visting it on the Saturday after Thanksgiving may not have been good timing). It was very very busy – there was some crowd control but not too much, and the staff […]

Lovecraft Paperback: 192 pages Publisher: Del Rey; Reissue edition (September 13, 1991) ISBN: 0345329457 My son Nathan recommended this book to me – I had nearly finished the book I brought along for the flights and hotel room, and he said […]

The Great Heresies

Title: The Great Heresies Author: Hilaire Belloc Paperback: 161 pages Publisher: T A N Books & Publishers (October, 1991) ISBN: 0895554755 This book was a waste of my time. The author is obviously Catholic – the viewpoint of the book is that all heresies are wrong, the Catholic Church is the one right church, and […]

The Life of David

Title: The Life of David Author: Robert Pinsky Hardcover: 224 pages Publisher: Schocken (September 6, 2005) ISBN: 0805242031 I’ve read the Old Testiment and the Torah, but I knew little about the life of the King that probably marks the height of Judaism. This book was worth reading, but I feel it rambles a bit […]
