The Story of Stuff, the Book

Pedro — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:03:25 +0000

The book based on the video “The Story of Stuff” was released today. This book by Annie Leonard goes a bit deeper than the video and explains the whole process that stuff goes through from the Earth, back to the Earth, with all the risks involved. I haven’t got the book yet, but I am sure buying it. More when I get a chance to read it. In the meantime, if you haven’t seen this great video yet, here it is.

Here are the books I read in February 2010. The goal of a book a week is still in place and well under control. This is the first time I’ve set a yearly goal, and it seemed like a very good one to start with. Here’s the list:

- The Road, by Cormac McCarthy
- What Matters Now
- How Proust Can Change Your Life, by Alain de Botton
- Dom Casmurro, by Machado de Assis
- The Schopenhauer Cure, by Irvin D. Yalom
- The Art Of Innovation, by Tom Kelley

What is a Browser?

This is the question the authors of this video asked one day in Times Square, New York. The results are surprising, at least to me. Sometimes we take for granted what people know about the Web and the way they use it. This sure is eye opening.
