I was having a hard time reading "Everything is Miscellaneous," it just did not keep my attention. I went on-line to see if I could find some form of Audio version of EIM. I did not have any luck without purchasing a Kindle. However, I found a video on YouTube by David Weinberger who was speaking to a class in reference to his book. The video is just about an hour long so I did not want to take the time away from reading so I decided I would just listen to his talk for a few minutes. My view time of a few minutes turned into the whole hour. It was really interesting to hear him talk about the subjects in the book. For instance when he was speaking about Pluto no longer being a planet in the book I was trying to understand what this had to do with anything. However, listening to him explain and show us what he meant I had an "ah ha" moment. I haven't finished reading the book yet working hard on reading. After watching the video I am more excited to reading the rest of the book because I know I can always go back to the video when I am confused on what he is trying to say.

Can you share the video link? Sounds like something that may benefit many of us.
You read our mind! Tonight we'll be watching part of Weinberger's discussion of the book to help shed some light on his intentions -- I think everyone will enjoy hearing about EIM in Weinberger's own voice.
Of course, you could always watch Andrew Keen on Authors@Google...
