I am a big music lover. I am also rather enamored with computers and technology. In my surfing about on YouTube, I discovered a lady who employs both at the same time. Imogen Heap is her name, and in this YouTube clip she builds a song right before your eyes (or ears), using looping technology to layer her voice many times over. Fascinating demonstration of what computers, and a healthy amount of musical talent, can do! [Disclaimer: I'm not terribly familiar with this artists' work, so I'm not endorsing it as a whole. This one piece, however, is very interesting.]

Books Which "Kindle" My Interest:
Bill Hybels: Axiom: Powerful Leadership Proverbs
30 years of leadership excellence packed into concise, power-packed maxims on leadership. What's not to like?Thomas L. Friedman: The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
In queue for future reading. Critics say it is an excellent book on the flat organizational structures taking root in society and how they are changing everything.Rebecca Fraser: The Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative History
I'm a hopeless anglophile. Fraser's book has breadth, and is an enjoyable read.Ori Brafman: The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations
This one is mind-blowing and fun. It demonstrates the power of decentralized organizations for our times, their versatility and ability to catalyze innovation. VERY interesting for church leaders wondering how to lead churches to be in the vanguard instead of the rear guard.Dave Gibbons: The Monkey and the Fish: Liquid Leadership for a Third-Culture Church (Leadership Network Innovation Series)
Amazing book about ending our culture-centrism and truly reaching out to those the world likes to marginalize.David Gergen: Eyewitness to Power: The Essence of Leadership Nixon to Clinton
A respected advisor to four U.S. Presidents, himself a Presidential historian, examines the greatness and weakness of our nation's leaders. Very relevant to those seeking to become good leaders themselves.
