Find out what the soundtrack of your life is. Here is mine...odd at best:

Here's how it works:

1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing

What ELSE I'm reading (along with the entire planet)




Who can resist. I am about 200 pages in after waiting for my 14yo to finish. Books like this, she powers through and then re-reads for detail. The previous books in the series we have replaced 2 or 3 times because she has literally read them to pieces.

My biggest problem right now is that I would like to take my time and savor this book since it is the last one, but the longer it takes, the better the chance that it will be spoiled for me.

What I'm reading




I'm not through this one yet and I thought it would be a crock. There is some surprisingly good information in here. Good tips on getting things done more effectively, especially by avoiding multitasking, which is counter-intuitive for me. But the focus is getting the important stuff done so that you can go play, rather than a mindless Pajama Game style efficiency expert harping.

Also advice on starting automated businesses. Not sure how feasible it is.

What I'm reading




Great book for anyone who loves reading, writing or just words. The chapter on plagerism is great. Full of "I thought I was the only one" moments and great words that will make you pull out your dictionary.
