Just trying to stimulate discussion ;)

I shall fix. Thank you for the tip... it seems that all of the LA air is getting to this guy who's used to the beautifully clean air of Hamilton.

Great post, Fraser. Just one thing though -- it's Kent Newsome, not Kevin.

I'm tossing traffic to the wind (I'll review the numbers once in a while to keep me honest - I don't want to only add to the noise, and this metric is one good way to monitor that).

My goal is to post what I want, aim to develop and mature my own thinking, and stimulate people like you (it, hopefully, will become a virtuous cycle of thought development).

I'm just finishing up Purple Cow. Quick, easy, simple - but not without value. It covers a lot of ideas without digging into them too deeply, which is a nice compliment to the books that cover the narrow ideas deeply.

Right on Fraser! I talk about books I read and other things on my blog as well. It's definitely OK to get off topic now and then and in the end I think the traffic thing will work itself out (look at Fred Wilson - he talks about VC and also a lot of personal stuff like music, etc and his blog is one of the most popular out there). Looking forward to some music and book recommendations in the near future!
