Het heeft even geduurd maar dit is weer een heerlijk Giph boek. Wat is dan een Giph boek:

  • Laat zich lezen als een sneltrein
  • Contact met de Giph in het boek.
  • Een vleugje brutaal
  • Scherpe opmerkingen

There are many praises for this book and I could not agree any more.
It gives you insight on behavioural aspects that may occur as normal but are in fact old-fashioned.

Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt

Comment

Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt: ……

The Glenlivet Distillery is a distillery near Ballindalloch in Moray, Scotland. It is the oldest legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet, and the production place of the Scottish whisky of the same name. It is described in packaging and advertising as “The single malt that started it all”. It was founded in 1824 and it has operated almost continuously since. The Glenlivet brand is the biggest selling malt whisky in the United States and the second biggest selling single malt brand globally.
Today, the distillery is owned by the French alcoholic beverages company Pernod Ricard and they oversee the distillery’s production of 5,900,000 proof litres per annum.

Colour: Bright and lively gold.
Nose: Aromatic, with flowers. Clean and simple, with some maltiness. Sherry notes, some spice and vanilla.
Taste: Delicate. Slightly sweet and fruity, with vanilla notes. Clean and well-balanced.
Finish: Long, but mild and warming. A trace of peat at the end.

Change by Design

Comment

[openbook booknumber=”9780061766084″]

In “Change by Design” Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, shows us what the concept of design thinking is. In the first section he explains the principles which gives you a good impression of field of design thinking. However the rest of the book is full with examples in which he was able to apply design thinking. He tops it of in the last section with a lecture of global issues that need to be addressed.

I would have liked to get more information on a how-to apply design thinking, best practices, do’s and don’ts.. instead of the huge quantity of examples.

Bottom line: A book worth reading, but also a book that has space for improvement

Speaker switch

Comment

Out:

  • Sony SS-A505
  • Aiwa SX-NAVH8
  • Pioneer S-CR39

In:

  • Jamo S-426 HCS 3

With the Jamo’s I miss the deep mids in music like Siamese Dreams – Smashing Pumpkins…
I am not sure yet what is better.
The old system both the Sony’s and the Aiwa’s were 3-way speakers. (although half of the tweaters died a long time ago)…

Nice little book with tips and tricks. It would have been nice to have a small summary at the end of the book without having to figure out what the title of a chapter is referring to.
Very helpful but I would not call on of the best management books though…
