Great books to read

Holiday Shut-Down is coming. I have no plan for travel, so I bought some "suppose to be good" books to read:

1. The World Is Flat



2. Made To Stick



3. How To Talk So People Listen



4. Negotiation Genius



Another book I'd recommend to others is Good To Great. (I read it).



As you probably can tell, these are non-technical books for working professional or managements. I don't really remember when was last time I picked up a book about circuit design. =)

Christmas card took 93 years to arrive - Wow!

This is a piece of news from CNN - a Christmas card arrives 93 years late.

...A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in 1914, but its journey was slower than Christmas. It just arrived in northwest Kansas.

The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from her cousins in Alma, Nebraska....
