I’ve returned from my Diwali break and wanted to highlight the posthumous release of Douglas Adams' book, A Salmon of Doubt. The collection features unfinished writings and essays recovered from his computer after his death.
I found the Invisible Library, a catalog of books that exist only within other books. It features imaginary titles from authors like Arthur Conan Doyle and Douglas Adams, though it could use more entries from Lewis Carroll.
I celebrated Diwali in London, witnessing firework displays in Ilford that rivaled home in India. During a busy week of reading movie scripts, I also experimented with Fotango, an early service for free online film development and hosting.
Jim Collins research highlights that top-performing executives often struggle with self-doubt and lead with humility. This counterintuitive finding challenges the image of the ego-driven leader and marks a key characteristic of enduring company success.
I found the full text of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy online. You'll need to manually tweak some URLs to navigate the site, but it's a great resource alongside other Douglas Adams literary links.
I’m taking a short break from site updates until November 11th, so don't bother visiting until then. I'll be away celebrating Diwali and will return with more links and posts once my holiday is over.
