Fugitive Denim by Rachel Lousie Snyder
March 30th, 2009Title: Fugitive Denim Author: Rachel Louise Snyder Publisher: W.W. Norton (2008) As you know, I’m a bit of a business/trade nerd. I love reading pretty much anything about global trade (except, according to my college professors, my class assignments). Unfortunately it seems like most articles and books are anti-globalization. They just rail and rail on [...]
LOP Is 1 Year Old!!
March 25th, 2009Exactly one year ago I posted my first review here at Letters on Pages! It was a review of Hurricane Season by Neal Thompson.

Due to the {Caution: political viewpoint stated ahead} overspending of the past 8 years and the apparent overspending of the next (at least) 4 years, the economy isn’t doing very well. [...]

We have already watched one movie via the “instant” feature (streamed wirelessly through my computer to my PS3 so we can watch on the TV!). I am excited to get the DVD’s in the mail. We started building our [...]
What Inspires You?
March 2nd, 2009I was thinking tonight about inspiration. (I am a pretty deep guy and I spend a lot of my down time thinking of ways to improve myself and society. Or possibly a character on CSI said something that triggered this thought. You can decide which is more accurate.) So…people sometimes get inspired by different things. [...]
