Gleanings: Enron, Dominos and Malcolm Gladwell

  • Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling found guilty in Enron trial. Amen to that but I can’t believe they’re calling this “a victory for the government.” Ken Lay is like the president’s best friend, right? Maybe a victory for the justice department but hardly the White House.
  • Highly interesting conversation over at Chez Sarvas on helpful ways for book publicists to approach bloggers.
  • According to this thing, Kevin was the 34th most popular baby name in 2004. I feel nothing knowing this (via Kottke).

  • Yes, I am the only person left on earth who had not seem the Honda Rube Goldberg Ad. Until today.
  • Music nerds are yelling all over the place about something called “rockism.” Much as I love to take sides in an utterly pointless argument, I need more information (via Jeff Chang).
  • The New Republic asks “Does Malcolm Gladwell turn everything he touches into a business strategy?” Hmm, can’t say I thought of it that way (via Scott Andrew).
