Planet Google

I just finished reading "Planet Google: One Company's Audacious Plan To Organize Everything We Know by Randall Stross", and I must say, I came out of the book with a whole new viewpoint about the company.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded

I just finished reading the book "Hot, Flat, and Crowded". I thought it was an exceptional book, and it spelled out the problems of global warming in plain english. It envisioned a future world in which global warming could actually benefit the economy easily create millions of new jobs. It wouldn't be easy, but would definately be a possibilty.

About

Knowledge is power. Since the beginning, man's growing dominance and will to survive can be, at least partly, accredited to man's thirst for knowledge. Knowledge gives the power to inspire, to break barriers. Kyle's Compendium was created to provide a place for me to document my thirst for knowledge — my ever increasing list of sources of information. This site will by no means be my complete list, there are far too many places of knowledge encountered daily. However, I hope to at least list most books, movies, and magazines. I thought it would be neat to look back years later and see all my information in a single place, compiled nicely for me to look over. And lastly, I hope to inspire others to do and read more, so together we can truly revolutionize the information age.
