OMGosh! This is just too funny. Thank goodness we live in a country where artists can create something as fun, interesting AND effective as this little faux ad selling 37 Signals newest book, “Rework”
It’s a quick watch. Enjoy!

Amazon Affiliate Linker Plugin Test

Just testing to see if the Amazon Affiliate Linker WordPress Plugin will work on WPMU install.

Here, I’m just using the plugin to create (hopefully!) a link to the same Pro Blogger book that is used in the Club WordPress post about this plugin. Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income.

That title “should” hopefully be an Amazon Affiliate link. We shall see!

Now reading “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”

The Omnivore's DilemmaOnly about 40 pages or so in, but have to say that in addition to those being quite fascinating pages, I very much admire Michael Pollan’s writing style.

Amazon also delivered his “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto“. Looking forward to reading that as well.

Book Review “Me: Stories of My Life”

Stories of My Life, Me My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Stories of My Life, Me by Katharine Hepburn

Almost finished with this one. From the few interviews I’ve seen of Ms. Hepburn, most notably, the one from the Dick Cavet show (I believe in the 80′s?), her writing style is very much like her speaking style. Late in her life she was very staccato with her speech, and her writing in this book was very much the same. Almost as if she simply audio recorded the book, someone transcribed it, and they print and bound it.

This is definitely not to say there is not good bits of information and anecdotes of her life. There is. Just be prepared for a tough to sustain read.

View all my reviews.
