Amazon.com: The Joys of Much Too Much : Go for the Big Life–The Great Career, The Perfect Guy, and Everything Else You’ve Ever Wanted: Books: Bonnie Fuller

A business powerhouse and mother of four who has led America’s most popular magazines — including Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Us Weekly, and Star — to record successes, Bonnie Fuller has, until now, been an immensely private person.

But in The Joys of Much Too Much, she shares an unthinkable secret: the key to happiness is not a balanced life but one that is maxed out with a career, romance, and family. Not only can you have it all, but you shouldn’t settle for anything less. In The Joys of Much Too Much she provides a blueprint for having everything you want personally and professionally — even if you’re afraid you don’t have what it takes.

For the first time, Fuller tells with astonishing candor what it was like to be an awkward, shy girl from a middle-class Jewish family who learned through hard-won successes and painful failures how to invent the over-the-top life she wanted.

Using personal anecdotes from her home and professional lives, Fuller describes the unusual coping methods that have made her happily unbalanced life work for her (hint: check your lettuce in the coatroom). In this straight-shooting, inspiring how-to, Fuller shows readers how to turn negatives into positives, squeeze the very most out of every chaotic minute, and embrace the unknown.

The Joys of Much Too Much will lead you to envision more for yourself, go for it — and then get it.

Lessons not transferable to anyone else.

One of Ann Arbor’s own comes home.

CNN.com - ‘Wonderful day’: Journalist Carroll freed in Iraq - Mar 30, 2006
American hostage Jill Carroll, the freelance journalist released on Thursday after nearly three months in captivity in Iraq, said she was “treated very well” while she was being held.

“They never said they would hit me. They never threatened me in any way,” she said in a TV interview after her release.

Except for the part where they held you prisoner in a locked room for three months and threatened to kill you. Good grief.

A Poverty of the Mind - New York Times

Not only was living this subculture immensely fulfilling, the boys said, it also brought them a great deal of respect from white youths. This also explains the otherwise puzzling finding by social psychologists that young black men and women tend to have the highest levels of self-esteem of all ethnic groups, and that their self-image is independent of how badly they were doing in school.

I call this the Dionysian trap for young black men. The important thing to note about the subculture that ensnares them is that it is not disconnected from the mainstream culture. To the contrary, it has powerful support from some of America’s largest corporations.

Forwarded to me by my contrarian friend Nick.

Experience Press

Book of Mormon 1830 Edition Replication

The First Edition of the Book of Mormon was printed and bound in Palmyra, New York in the year 1830. The book’s translator and proprietor, Joseph Smith Jr., commissioned a young twenty-four year old printer by the name of E. B. Grandin to perform this task. Of the original 5,000 copies that were printed, less than 600 are known to exist today.

Historic Replication

In commemoration of the 175th Anniversary of this event, Experience Press™ has undertaken the historic replication of the original Book of Mormon, 1830 Edition. The expression “historic replication” refers to the fact that each book will be individually hand crafted using exact and similar types of materials and methods that were used to produce the original.

Great concept, and beautiful books.

Too bad this Mormon stuff is, like, completely made up.

Living books are the wave of the future:

Flat-Footed: Friedman Shows FSG How to Think Fast - 3/28/2006 - Publishers Weekly

Thomas L. Friedman, author of the bestselling The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century (FSG), practices what he preaches. Just one year after the initial publication of his book, which examines the rapid technological innovation and constant change that contribute to the “flattening” of the world, the text is getting an update and expansion, to the tune of 100 new pages and a new introduction. “We have version 2.0 now,” said FSG publisher Jonathan Galassi. “In a way, the revision of the book is in keeping with the spirit of the book.”

The new edition features new reporting, insights and commentary, drawn both from Friedman’s 2005 travels (to India, China and the Middle East) and from his encounters with readers around the country who have shared their accounts of the flattening of the world as they have felt it. FSG senior editor Paul Elie, who worked closely with Friedman on both editions of the book, said, “Because of Tom’s work at the Times, his understanding of how stories change is acute. He publishes 100 columns a year. He has to call it as he sees it at the time, and then refine it as he goes. That’s his temperament, and why shouldn’t we make it happen with the book, if we can?”

Friedman’s new introduction boasts that “it is now possible to revamp a whole book relatively easily.” Elie puts that statement into perspective: “Relatively easily compared to the past, yes. But it’s not easy, it doesn’t do itself.”

How true.

The World Is Flat was first published in April 2005, and the new edition of the book, which will have a 330,000-copy first printing, will go on sale April 18.

So let’s do a little back-of-the-envelope math. Assume for convenience sake that Friedman gets 8% of 24.95, or roughly $2.00 per book. That’s $660,000 for 100 pages, or $6600/page. I can see Friedman at his desk now:

Damn! that was a good page!

Early Warning by William M. Arkin - washingtonpost.com

Do we really believe that the U.S. military thinks that Russia had a spy in the middle of American war planning for Iraq or that Russia broke some American code and listened in on U.S. war preparations in 2003?

And do we really think that Secretary of State and former national security advisor Condoleezza Rice first heard of this on Friday, as she made believe she did yesterday in television interviews?

The answer to both questions is no.

Welcome to the self-perpetuating world of spy vs. spy.

The nutshell summary of William H. Arkin’s article about the Russia spying disclosures is that Arkin’s mental filters are so finely tuned that they screen out all new information.

Official Google Blog: And we’re back

The Google Blog was unavailable for a short time tonight. We quickly learned from our initial investigation that there was no systemwide vulnerability for Blogger. We’ll let you know more about what did happen once we finish looking into it.

Update: We’ve determined the cause of tonight’s outage. The blog was mistakenly deleted by us (d’oh!) which allowed the blog address to be temporarily claimed by another user. This was not a hack, and nobody guessed our password. Our bad.

This is inspiring.
