I snapped this photo yes­ter­day.   I am just won­der­ing, what the heck hap­pened to sum­mer.   I know quite a few peo­ple in Ohio are say­ing that, but seri­ously — where was summer?

Ted Stevens infa­mous speech from 2006 describ­ing the Inter­net, and obvi­ously fail­ing badly. We all knew the Inter­net was not a big truck, we also know that the tubes.…er Inter­net does not get clogged in a fash­ion that can be cleaned with Draino. 

…sigh…

Poor Ted, I didn’t think things would ever get much worse, but then there was that huge kick­back scan­dal. So does “A Series of Tubes” get tired as a meme, or is it still alive and kick­ing. You decide.

So ear­lier this week I had tweeted that I fin­ished “Free” by Chris Ander­son.  I was talk­ing about it with a friend tonight who knew I was read­ing the book (and who also hap­pened to know it was freely avail­able online) and he called me lazy in not so many words.   I was told he was inter­ested in read­ing the book, but wasn’t going to bother to put it into google to find it.  If I had place the link in there he would have chased it down and read it.   Basi­cally the whole point of this post is so I can per­form the extra steps to give him an easy loca­tion to find it.   So below is the link to the text on Scribd, and the whole book is also embed­ded below (this is what I have to do to get sticky read­ers folks a boy has got to eat).

All that aside, the book was a great read that dealt not only with the new “Free” econ­omy, but the his­tory and psy­chol­ogy behind the con­cept.  While peo­ple will value some­thing paid over free in some cir­cum­stances, there are dynamic men­tal choices we make.  For mar­keters this is a great book, for peo­ple on the mod­ern web this is a great book, for peo­ple that want to under­stand peo­ple, this is a great book.

If you can devote a few hours of your life to read­ing and com­plet­ing this book, I’m sure there is some­thing in it that you will find inter­est­ing.  Chris has a nice writ­ing and nice cadence that flows through­out the book.  I don’t feel that it ever dragged on, it was just long enough.

UPDATE — GAH

Sorry I just real­ized that the scribd link had expired. It seems the web book and the ebook was only for a lim­ited time. How­ever, and this will make who this arti­cle is tar­geted to happy. On this page the audio book (unabridged) is avail­able to down­load.   It is 285 megs, and it’s worth the space to give it a lis­ten.   I bet some of you who read this are more likely to get this now that you don’t have to read through it, but lis­ten to it to pass the time.

Sorry for the mixup — I’ll pay closer atten­tion next time.

Actually this video is a few months old, but I haven’t posted it. This all started when I was mock throwing a shirt at Lex, and he found it funny. It led to one of his first laughing fits. Enjoy.

Some people think I am joking when I say that playing at home upsets the baby. Let this video be proof for the rest of you.

I’m working through Pride of the Yankees (and yes I know how it ends), so far it’s a pretty good movie. So I thought I would share with all of you through the magic of Hulu.

I originally found this video over at Boing Boing via RSS, but clicking the link led to a page not found error. It seems to have disappeared from there articles. In case it shows back up the original story was located here.

Either way, hope you enjoy it.

I don’t know why this toy annoys me, I just know that we are being careful when choosing how many of the Christmas presents we are going to be buying take batteries.

Very interesting when the officer get’s questioned by citizens standing by. More commentary and information links at the boing boing post where I found this.

Bad cop, no donut for you.
