Influential Books Meme

I was tagged by Stephen about the most influential books in my life. I don’t have quite as many as He does, but they are just as important to my life.

  1. The Bible - I have been a Christian for most of my 35 years on this earth. First in the Roman Catholic Church and the last 10 years in the church of Christ. It is the model that I try to live my life by, and the model that I am trying to teach my children.

A Hack for Coffee Lovers…

I just bought a couple of pounds of coffee from my favorite coffee place downtown yesterday. I have been quite dissatisfied with the canisters I have been using to store my whole beans. They did not do a good job of keeping moisture in the air…away from the beans.

Tonight my family made a Target run. I had added “coffee canisters” on my Target shopping list in the BlackBerry (yes…that is a GTD thing). I made a pretty neat find. I was able to find a canister from simplehuman (yes…the company’s name IS one word) that was stainless. It had a clear plastic top. A latch seals the coffee air tight.

Read your RSS Feeds Faster and More Productively

Today, I followed a link to a video interview with Robert Scoble (aka the Scobleizer) that show how he digests the content from his 600+ RSS Feeds every day. The video was shot by Tim Ferriss (of The 4-Hour Work Week fame). It is located on Tim’s blog here [How Scoble Reads 622 RSS Feed Each Morning].

I found a number of great tips from watching this video.
