Good book, but I think it’s actually a bit useless unless you actually do the online test – and this requires that you are the first person to get the book. I got it out of the library at my work, and someone had already used the magic website access code :-( So, I couldn’t do the test, and consequently couldn’t understand how the majority of the book relates to me.

What I did find useful and interesting was the sections on managing people with certain strengths. I found it relatively commonsense information, but then again, most business/management books are just people writing down commonsense.

What an absolutely enchanting and beautiful movie.

I don’t know why, but I just don’t like this guys books. To me, the concepts he talks about are obvious. I believe I got more value from reading Fixing Broken Windows entry on Wikipedia and abstracting the concept out in my own mind – and that was a paragraph or two.

I also wonder if Mr. Gladwell is sponsored by big tobacco – a whole chapter dedicated to talking about how cool smokers are? Come on! hehehehe

I wholeheartedly agree with the comment that this could have been condensed down to 50 pages.

I thought this was an absolutely awful album. Just weak R’n’B style music, “thug” lyrics, decidely average beats. Didn’t enjoy it at all.

I got hold of “Oxygen” about 3 years back, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs of all time. Because of that, I want to listen to the rest of this album, and other stuff by these guys.

I hear tho that they broke up in June 2006 :-(

Good, but not as good as Red House Painters I

Very good album. First 4 tracks are brilliant, I was less impressed with Lord kill the pain and Michael.

Very good. I like a lot. I’ll listen to the rest of their stuff now.

What an absolutely fun album.

My picks:
Liz Phair w/ Material Issue – The Tra La La Song
Mary Lou Lord w/ Semisonic – Sugar Sugar
Frente – Let the sun shine in
Violent Femmes – Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah
Dig – Fat Albert
Sublime – Hong Kong Phooey

There were only a couple of tracks I didn’t enjoy, and they were…

Butthole Surfers – Underdog
Helmet – Gigantor

Good stuff.

And shouldn’t this album be called

II (Bridge)

???

Isn’t this album actually called

I (Rollercoaster)

???
