Daily Thoughts 7/6/2011

This morning, I read some more of Ernest Cline, Ready Player One. The book is going to be released in August.  It has a wonderful mix of1980s cliches and pop culture; everything from Gary Gygax to DuranDuran is mixed in a very ironic manner.  I also read a little more of On Strategy. The article I am reading now is titled, Reinventing Your Business Modelby Mark W. Johnson, Clayton M. Christensen, and Henning Kagerman.  Thefirst model they discuss is when Apple computers business model for theIpod.

Today was another quiet steady day.  I checkedthe displays, updated the Twitter account, and designed the flyer forthe End of Summer Reading Tea for the Adult Summer Reading Program.  Ialso put together a display for the Novel Destinations theme from theAdult Summer Reading package.  I picked out some novels byinternational authors like Guntner Grass, Salman Rushdie, IsabelAllende, Chinua Achebe, V.S. Naipaul, and others.
