You can buy the book Made To Stick by the chapter!

You can buy the book Made To Stick by the chapter!: For $2.99 you can download a ~40 page chapter, so you can just pick the ones that interest you. What a great concept. I’d imagine this would do similarly well for a book like 4HWW.

Pangea Day is May 10th, 2pm to 6pm EST. 24 short films that will bring the world together and change the way you see things. Spread the word!

Pangea Day, May 10th, 2008

Fri, 09 May 2008 10:24:45 -0400

“Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film.”

On May 10th, from 2pm to 6pm EST, the world will gather to watch 24 short films (selected from 2500 submissions) selected to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes. It will be broadcast online, in selected theatres, at large events around the world etc.

Pangea Day is the result of Jehane Noujaim winning the TED Prize in 2006 with a grant of $100,000 to help make it happen. Watch the original announcement and her vision for the event:

Jehane Noujaim: TED Prize wish: Unite the world on Pangea Day

I will be watching it on my laptop connected to my 42” TV. Should be a good time, so let me know if you want to come :)
