	Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
	"Read 'The Art of Innovation' instead"	2004-08-15
While the premises of this book are important - 'safe is death' and that we must put intelligent passionate thought into design - the author is way too repetitive and gives himself an awful lot of credit for ideas he has simply abstracted out from design heavy companies (think apple, ideo, ikea etc). I value the hammering home of the ideas but after hearing them for the fourth time I grew tired of the repitition and the continual "look how smart I am for getting these ideas on paper" attitude of the author. Read Art of Innovation by Tom Kelley instead. It provides ideas from a company that successfully uses them and it is a much more interesting read.
	Harman Kardon Soundsticks 2
	"Crisp Clear Sound"	2004-06-25
These speakers give much better sound than my old pair of speakers. They also look much better than just about any multimedia speaker out there. Of course, they cost more too. If you are looking for a good sounding, sharp designed set of speakers and can afford the $150-$200 price, get these. If these cost too much, but you still want something unique looking, try the JBL Creature II speaker set. It ranges $60 - $100. A few things you cannot tell from the product description: > These speakers (Soundstick II) are compatible with PCs. The original Soundsticks were only for Apples. > The casing, though plastic, is very solid. I can't tell how scratch resistant it is though. I have not tried to scratch them yet... > The subwoofer has a bass adjust knob. > One of the satellite speakers has a touch volume control. > The system does not have an on/off button. It designed to stay on all the time.
