the acid test

Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] shoebox_bird: Po Bronson has a new book out. To use triter words than he does, it's about people who figured out what their dream was and followed it. What I remember enjoying about his Silicon Valley book The Nudist on the Late Shift was the attentive observation of how people do their jobs. I'll probably enjoy this one too. But I'll probably distrust the simplicity of his conclusions.

From Metropolitan: "The acid test is whether you take any pleasure in responding to the question 'What do you do?' I can't bear it."

This is the first and probably last time I'll admit to putting in a CD and picking a track just to have something to enter for "Current Music".

Ow.
