A Shout Out to Elliott Nowacky!

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Elliott is a listener to the show who recently visited Jena and Leipzig and was thoughtful enough to snail-mail David and I some memorabilia from there!

An unsurpassed record of historical paintings [...]

Napoleonic Lessons for Google and Microsoft

A friend of mine at Microsoft just sent me this article by Jawad Shuaib on Napoleonic Lessons for Google and Microsoft.
