1.  Worth the weight: Testing the 20-inch iMac (USATODAY.com). USATODAY.com - When the original pear-shaped, bondi blue iMac first reached these shores in August of 1998, I had no clue how successful it might be commercially, but I could see it had plenty of potential for bringing Apple to the attention of curious shoppers. In fact, many credit the iMac with saving Apple, restoring its image of creativity.
2.  The importance of sales for entrepreneurs (USATODAY.com). USATODAY.com - The sales function is often under appreciated and overlooked in its importance to the success of any enterprise. This is especially true in consumer products - particularly commodity-based products that have little to differentiate themselves and that are marketed through third parties, such as brokers and direct store door (dsd) distributors. If you're an entrepreneur getting into such a business, you need a dedicated, motivated sales force to make a difference and drive success.

1.  Eastern Standard Tribe has launched!. My second novel, Eastern Standard Tribe starts shipping today -- it should be showing up in bookstores any day now.

As with Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, my first novel, I've made the whole text of the novel available as a free download in a variety of open, standards-defined formats, under the terms of a Creative Commons license -- and I've written a short essay explaining why I've done it: in a nutshell, this worked really well for my first book, and I'd be crazy not to repeat the experiment with my second novel.

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
