What Inspired Me To Write
Author David McCullough and the Back Bay
Since I’ve been on a John Adams kick lately, I found this great short video that The Boston Globe featured about one of my Back Bay neighbors, David McCullough, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning book, John Adams. I hope I run into you in the Commonwealth Ave Mall one of these days. Click on the photo to go to the video link.

The comfort of thingy-ness – A TED talk
This TED talk with Chip Kidd is all about book design or rather, book jacket design.
“Much is to be gained by eBooks: ease, convenience, portability. But something is definitely lost: tradition, a sensual experience, the comfort of thingy-ness — a little bit of humanity.”
