I was reminded of this great book today...

Does The Center Hold, by Donald Palmer




This is the best intro philosophy book I have ever read, it brings the subject down to a simple level without being condescending... and it even has funny pictures!

not apropos of your blog (though I ahve seen that book at your house) have you heard of below app? Bad IDEA jeans...

"There are some people out there that need their ears boxed. Let’s start with Apple Inc. Who was the idiot that approved Apple’s short-lived iPhone application, Baby Shaker? The application let users silence an imaginary crying infant by shaking the multimedia device. Wow, what fun, allowing users to create a brain damaged baby. Apple’s offensive app was on the market for just two days. They stopped selling it after child welfare organizations went on a rampage. Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said in a statement that the software was “deeply offensive” and should not have been approved for sale. Well, Duh!"

I have heard of that... The app store approval process leaves a lot to be desired.
