This is a great book. I friend from work is letting me read it. I wonder if the “dogfaces” currently in Iraq and Afghanistan have their own version of Joe and Willie. More info via: spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk.

I am a suscriber to John Maxwell’s monthly audio CD of leadership lessons. This last one was on Lewis & Clark leadership lessons. It is very good. I learned a lot also about the expedition and that has peaked my interest in the subject. I have put in a request for some library books on the subject with my 5 year old son Conrad who has just learned the joy of going to the library.

I recently picked up some Czechvar beer from the Czech Republic. It was a very good lager.

Sorry I have been offline for a couple of weeks. Moving to our new house has consumed a great deal of time, and I had to go on travel last week for work and the schedule was very demanding.
I have been Beta testing an updated product for Outlook that looks promsing for tracking “projects.” Hopefully it will get released soon and I can do a review.
And when I get a free moment, I have been reading Tom Clancy’s “The Bear and the Dragon.” It is getting good at the end with the U.S. helping the Russians defend an attack by China.
Another thing of potential interest is that on travel last week to the East Coast I was able to have a very good dinner at Lynnhaven Fish House Restaurant in Virgina Beach, VA (757.481.0003). If you are in the area and want a good but not cheap seafood dinner, this might be the place for you.

Even Feldman notes that there is a Newton Conference going on 04-05Sep04 in Paris, France. The guys hosting the conference are working on a NewtonScript interpreter and hardware modifications. As a Member of the Newton Hall of Fame, I salute them for initiative as I still see the Newton as one of the “best” PDA operating systems.
However, after using a Tablet PC (HP TC1100 for nearly three full months) … I am very impressed with the unit, and my biggest bonus since Jun04 is a dramatic increase in my personal computer productivity over my former traditional laptop (HP N620c).
