How Do You See It?

I don’t know when other Time subscribers get their delivery, but mine always comes on Monday. When the magazine was re-worked last year, I thought part of the goal was to deliver in time for weekend readers.

Regardless, it’s Wednesday and as I was reading several things struck me. First, Mark Twain graces the cover of the annual Making of American issue. That in itself is cool. John Jantsch at the Duct Tape Marketing blog wrote today about POV Reading which is reading “any book, almost regardless of the topic… with a single point of view or filter” in an effort to glean new ideas. I think I’ll try this with Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

There was another piece on the lack of progress rebuilding at the site of the World Trade Center which reminded me very much of the Evolving Excellence blog where Kevin Meyer writes about lean manufacturing and enterprise leadership. I suppose that is POV reading for me.

Another stiking article included a pretty simple list of 10 things you can like about $4 gas. I won’t go into any of the 10 items; I am sure they are at least in some way refuteable. However, while rising fuel prices may be bad news, it really is just a matter of perspective. More POV.
