| At Work At Home | Neal Zimmerman | This is a really excellent piece of work. Design Ideas for Your Home Workplace. It covers Shared and Niche Spaces, Storage Solutions, Dedicated Workplaces, and A Place of Your Own. Loaded with great color pictures. I highly recommend this book for anyone thinking about building or remodeling a home office. |
| Book of Ki: Co-ordinating Mind and Body in Daily Life | Koichi Tohei | Excellent insight about Eastern medicine and philosophy. Adds practical reasons for importance. |
Gareth Downes-Powell, Tim Green, Bruno Mairlot |
It can never be simple enough but this book does a great job of explaining what MX, PHP, and MySQL are and how they work together. A comprehensive example makes it all real. |

Harley-Davidson Rolling Sculpture - A Pictorial Celebration Of The First 95 Years |
Doug Mitchel | Nobody but a Harley rider would be interested in this book. It is a very nice chronology showing how the bikes have evolved. |
| Life's Little Instruction Book | 511 suggestions, observations, and reminders on how to live a happy and rewarding life. Hard to disagree with most of them. A quick read and good mind food. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | |
| Path Of The Assassin | Brad Thor | Thrilling at times but not quite the depth of Tom Clancy or Dean Koontz. |
| Red Rabbit | Tom Clancy | Classic Clancy. 618 pages but it goes fast. Hard to put down. |
| Smart Mobs | Howard Rheingold | A really clear view of the possibilities resulting from WiFi and other disruptive technologies. |
| Step by Step Tai Chi | Master Lam Kam Chuen | I am getting convinced that tai chi and chi kuong are the natual way to strength and health |
| The Armchair Conductor | Dan Carlinksy and Ed Goodgold | How to Lead a Symphony Orchestra in the Privacy of Your Own Home. Foreward by Victor Borge. |
Stuart Miller and Geoggrey Moss |
A ten minute read with pictures and quotes from motorcycle riders. A lot of interesting perspective -- from the heart and from the road. |
|
The Healing Promise of Qi - Creating Extraordinary Wellness Through Qigong and Tai Chi |
Roger Jahnke, O.M.D. |
A very tedious reading (303 pages). Comprehensive but highly repetitive. Like reading an encylopedia but good way to gain total perspective on the subject. |
| Lore and ancestry of Harley-Davidson motorcycles Dr. Martin Jack Rosenblum | ||
Kevin Maney |
Great book. See blog posting for more about this. |
|
Dick Morris |
Excellent discussion about how the Internet is changing politics and the political process. |
|
Neil Gershenfeld |
Mostly about things but also about MIT Media Lab and how it operates plus views on Research in general. Very interesting. |
|
A great story about the turnaround of IBM combined with many lessons on management. |
||
| Word Craft | Alex Frankel | About naming. Very interesting behind the scenes look at how brand names are created and marketed |
