Yellow Snow


Book Description

Advances in science and technology have provided mere mortals with God-like powers. Satellites have given us the vision of eagles. High-speed computers have provided planners insights into future events through data analysis and simulation. Ancient civilizations made sacrifices to Gods that had less perceived power than the average American now takes for granted. What would be the outcome if an average American, well schooled in the use of modern tools, used them in the pursuit of a criminal objective? Could the "Law of Unintended Consequences" be repealed by the rigorous application of logic and system design? Is the "Perfect Crime" within the grasp of your typical neighbor who desires economic freedom? Would governmental agencies be the motivation behind the quest, defenders of the "status quo" or victims of the results? These questions and additional issues are explored with drama, suspense, and humor throughout the pages of Yellow Snow.

Don't Talk Just Kiss


Book Description

As creative people, we have ideas. Some of us have many ideas, others have really good ones, and most of us have many really good ideas. But most of these never see the light of day. Why? If you ask a creative person, the answer will always revolve around time. We simply need time to execute an idea (and do it well)—more time than we have. Don't Read This Book focuses on how to make choices about everything you do in your daily creative practice and life. The book follows the 'To Don't List' method: When you say 'no' to one idea, you have more time to execute another one. In short: the more you subtract, the more focus and time you get. The book is divided into three parts: Life, Workplace, and Projects. It covers everything from defining your life goals, to writing a five sentence-long email, to leaving out as much as possible in a project. Whether you are a student or professional, this book will save you time. (Of course, if you don't read it, you will save some time directly.)
