Here’s a neat list maintained by a small lending library in Maine. It lists famous people and their favorite book(s). Some of the people are even quoted and expound as to why they picked what they did.
I’ve always wondered what you could learn about somebody if you could study their TBR pile, but this is pretty fun too. Some folks picked some heavy stuff, but I was surprised by a few such as General Colin Powell’s first pick.
Stupid stomach flu be damned! I’m back… and it’s just in time too. The new Apple store is opening here in town this Saturday at 10am. So we’ll be in line at 9am with hands out waiting for our free t-shirts (the 1,000 folks get one).
Apple emailed out the announcements yesterday morning. If you want more info you can find it here on the Apple site.
Adobe has announced that they will be offering a free online-based stripped down version of PhotoShop by year’s end.
Here’s the scoop. It’ll be interesting to see what features they offer for free and if/how they tie it into the desktop app.
So far SnipShot has met my basic needs for an online photo editor. Though I’m sure there are plenty of good alternatives out there.
Warner Books has announced that their new name is Grand Central Publishing. It’s all part of being bought by a French company last year.
I guess dropping “books” from your business/imprint’s name will be standard practice as the big companies move forward and look at online content, etc.
I do want to see the new logo though. Pass a link along if you stumble across it please!
