There was a liquidation book sale over at the Lincholn Heights mall. For $20, they let you fill up a plastic bag with as many books as you could fit in one bag. For $40, they’d let you fill a box. We headed over a little late, but I still managed to make some great finds. It was a lot of scanning the areas for titles I recognized – some are a little dated, but most of the principles remain relevant. I picked up:

• Bricks to Clicks, Ed McMahon
• Creative Strategy in Direct Marketing
• The Culting of Brands: When Customers Become True Believers, Douglas Atkin
• The Value Profit Chain, James L. Heskit et al.
• The Cluetrain Manifesto, Rick Levine, Chirtopher Locke, Doc Searls, David Weinberger

Now I just need to find the time to read them.

David Peraulty was looking for someone to take over his OttawaBloggers.com site after his recent move to London. I suppose it is hard to be an Ottawa Blogger when you’re living in London. In any case, I offered to take the site over, and almost have everything running smoothly in such a way that allows me to upgrade and do what I’d like to do with it. There still seem to be a couple performance issues, so hopefully I can figure those out soon enough. Wordpress MU has come a long way, but its still far from bug-free.
