Tonight I finally started reading The Cluetrain Manifesto. It's funny how much its structure is like a traditional blog. The paragraphs aren't all run-together. They're all separate blurbs with space in between...complete with snarky comments and attitude. All those blurbs need is a time stamp and a permanent link-link and it's a blog. It's a blog masquerading as a book. (and making more money.)
I don't have a book in the works.
I learned a harsh and important social lesson today: never ask a writer if they have a book in the works unless they do indeed have a book in the works.
Ev's pic of today is me, drinking.
Here's the exact quote. Ironically, Alan Cooper said it.
I can't stop listening to The Tragically Hip's new album Music @ Work. Granted, I've been a big fan for a long time. But it usually takes a while for me to warm up to a new album. In this case, I've been repeatedly devouring it since the first day. Lyric of this moment:
...and cause discontent until They,
ceasing their investigation,
bring back the days' events,
good citizens and time well spent,
til we're talking in whispers again.
- The Hip

Here are some things I learned from rafting: 1.) rafting is a lot of work. I had no idea so much paddling would be involved. 2.) pack everything you need – then cut that in half. 3.) if the guide says, "it's just around this corner!" they're lying. 4.) being thrown from the raft is not as scary as it sounds. 5.) every rapid has a name. even the little ones.
