links for 2009-07-02 Gene Wojciechowski: Jim Brown wants more than charity from Tiger Woods - ESPN "I might do that," he said. "I might actually do that. That's right, I haven't tried to call him. I should make that call. That would be respectful of him." So he wrote down the name, number and e-mail address of Woods' agent. Even double-checked the spellings. I hope Brown calls. I hope Woods answers. They have so much to learn from each other. AdBuyer.com CEO Ogilvie Says Marketers Need Help In Audience, Price, and Messaging Free Criticism, Science After Data, and Airport Books - Anil Dash Anil on the Gladwell vs Anderson contretemps. "I haven't had a chance to finish reading Free yet, but I am sure that these authors' books absolutely do lean more towards anecdotal evidence than statistical proof. And honestly, it's okay that these books don't necessarily follow the tenets of hard science. In many cases, they're arguing that a cultural trend is becoming true, or is about to become true, and the reality is that asserting that these trends are ascendent actually helps them come true. In short, these are books designed to create culture, presented in the guise of reporting on culture. I like that!"
