Here are a few non-Thailand related links that I wanted to pass along, just quickly, before the week comes to a close:
- “How Google Can Help Newspapers,” by Google CEO Eric Schmidt. And some commentary from Snarkmarket.
- “Shades of Meaning,” an NYT review of Asterios Polyp, a graphic novel by David Mazzucchelli. Not (all that) new, but new to me.
- More NYT: the Goal blog has a Q. & A. With Simon Kuper, Author of “Soccernomics”. The book’s subtitle: “Why England Lose, Why Germany and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia, Turkey — and Even India — Are Destined to Become the New Kings of the World’s Most Popular Sport.”
That’s it. See you next week.
