I had such high hopes for this book. I had been walking through Barnes and Noble when I spotted it, and decided to give it a try (and by give it a try, I mean: remember title, go home, request from library). I should have known […]

Quixtar - Where It Actually Hurts
Part One: Quixtar - Introduction
Part Two: Quixtar - Motivation
Part Three: Quixtar - Where It Actually Hurts
In today’s individualist society, these posts about Quixtar may appear as if I am poking my nose in other people’s business. I mean, if I really don’t like Quixtar, why associate with its proponents? Why not just take […]
