Thanks Cory!

Read it over the weekend and enjoyed it very much. I'm reminded that if it wasn't for your free stuff, I probably would never have bought any of your books (this is the 2nd), so I may be another datum that fits your model.

I was particularly impressed by your analysis of paper vs electronic books. Do you have any thoughts on other media, like music or video, of are these forms already too close in format to the pure electronic downleads to work in your business model?

This thing is addictive! I'm going to enjoy this over the next few days. Great ideas here. Listen up Washington!

I'm about three essays in and find it really informative. Definitely not a dull read either, as your speeches tend to be entertaining as well.
Saw some signed copies of Futuristic Tales down here, too. You didn't have a book signing down here, did you?

My take on just the first essay.

Absolutely brilliant stuff.

I am excited to read 'content' and had not heard about it until now. (Of course I just recently purchased and read Overclocked, slow on the uptake I guess.) I gifted a new copy of DOIMK to Caleb Chung (pleo robot/Furby) the other day. Also I just updated my Whuffie blog with the new graphics I had been working on. Take a look.

I saw it, and thought, huh, why haven't I seen this mentioned on the innertubes?
