Think Big, Shop Small, part 1 - john.colagioia.net
This article is about choosing not to do business with large companies, and shopping small instead. I like the realism about how none of us (or even a million of us, really) are going to 'kill' amazon, so we should look at what the other benefits are of shopping small.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar by Maurice Leblanc - gutenberg.org
If you like Sherlock Holmes you will like Arsene Lupin. Lupin is a "gentleman burglar," one of the first of his kind in contemporary pulp, who commits crimes in clever ways and still holds to a certain chivalry or honor. I love the humor in these stories.
