October 16, 2010 – Dave gives away some fat pants.
As I’ve blogged about before, I’m significantly lighter than I used to be. Today, I give away a pair of pants that I might call my “safety” pants — the ones that fit me loosely, that I “could” fit … Continue reading
October 15, 2010 – CDs (the E’s)
Today…CD day…I give away the E’s. The highlights: Steve Earle – I’ll admit, I came pretty late to the Steve Earle party. But I’m a huge fan…he’s such an inspiring story, beating his addictions…and creating socially conscious music with … Continue reading
October 14, 2010 – Notes on politics, and how little changes.
What a discovery amongst the books I’ve been getting ready to RID. The author? Oh, just a senator now…helping to drive a little change. The subject? Oh, the same windbag he always was. In fact, a cursory glance through this … Continue reading

Another day, another coffee table book. As I look at this book, I remember Paris – a terrific city, and one I’ve spent about 9-10 trips exploring. Paris is a city that truly has changed my attitudes about travel. … Continue reading

I have a number of coffee table books gathering dust – I’d rather they were gathering coffee. Starting today, if they haven’t been opened in a year…they’re out. And this one’s the first. I got this many, many years … Continue reading
October 9, 2010 – Thoughts of art and commerce.
I got this book a number of years ago. What made me buy it was a chapter about how to account, to the bottom line…the effects of advertising. I’ve been in the business for 22 years now, and it’s … Continue reading
October 8, 2010 – SHIFT_.
Today, I give away a business book. As I cast it onto the RID project, I’m reminded of my time I lived in Los Angeles, working at Chiat/Day, helping Nissan achieve great success. It was a great time in … Continue reading
October 7, 2010 – Rain, rain…
Today I give away a high-quality rain slicker. But…I’m not really giving it away today. You see, I’m off to Cuba for a cultural exchange trip in December, and I fully intend to leave it behind there. I figure … Continue reading
