Twenty-one teams of nine riders each will have to endure 3,600 kilometers of racing and 25 mountain passes to reach the finish line on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

Is Pluto a Planet?
When picking up The Daughter, I was horrified to see a montage of the solar system on the wall of an adjacent classroom with nine planets. NINE PLANETS?!?! That’s so 2005. It’s not that I have anything against Pluto. The problem is that it was mislabeled as a planet when it was discovered because of [...]
The Revolutionary Future of Publishing
Will the world of book publishing be subject to the same revolution as the music industry because of digital content? With the Kindle (or iPad or Nook) do to books what the iPod did to record albums? It’s not my question to answer. But Jason Epstein from the The New York Review of Books has [...]

Catalog Your Books Online
A few weeks ago I started comparing LibraryThing, GoodReads and Shelfari to see which one was the best for tracking books online: Tracking Your Books and Library Online.

Tracking Your Books and Library Online
GoodReads versus LibraryThing versus Shelfari Back in 2008, I started looking at ways to catalog my household’s book collection: Books and Knowledge Management. LibraryThing was the winner.
