One of the things about Malcolm Gladwell books is that the subject matter is broad. That means he can be quoted in any media source. His latest interview is with ESPN.com. In the Q&A, Galdwell wonders how Peyton Manning reads defenses and says he would have quarterbacks spend the off season in emergency rooms and on live firing ranges.
Eric at Creating Passionate Users reviews Blink. He gives it three brains out of five.
Lastly, if you are looking for an autographed copy (johnmoore, are you listening?), you can get it over at Powell's.
Posted by Todd S. at February 9, 2005 02:40 PM | TrackBackTodd … thanks for heads up on the Gladwell autographed copies of BLINK. However, I succumbed to ‘momentary autism’ after reading about it.
You see, the last autograph I asked for was for Jim Walewander to autograph my Air Jordan’s in 1987. And Jim’s penmanship was so poor that his chicken scratch signature ruined my Jordans. Ever since then, I haven’t been too big on getting ‘sigs.
You should have seen my Jordans … on one shoe I had Walewander’s autograph and on the other shoe I had Chuck Nevitt’s autograph. Ain’t nuthin’ like having two spares sign the shoes of made for one of the world’s greatest athletes.
For those needing bios …
Chuck Nevitt
