潘家园和王嘉廉

一觉睡到自然醒，拉开窗帘有是雨天，郁闷！吃完中饭想起上次那本《techno vision》还有几章没看完，又从书架上拿了下来。这书是在潘家园淘的。记得几年前第一次逛潘家园，打一的士从广内大街的朋友家奔过去，30多块就赶了一个围墙里乱糟糟的大集子，雅兴全无。买的东东还抵不上车费钱。

打那以后可学乖了，每个星期六早7点，拎上一布包，准时从马连道搭公交到劲松西，然后步行20分钟，路上顺便买一煎饼果子果腹。这时候已过8点，孔网的书虫们已经肩挑手扛班师回朝了。可怜我还得顶着这北方的冷风一摊一摊的遛过来，潘家园早4点就开了，捡漏的都带手电，夸张点的还戴一矿工头灯。名副其实的鬼市啊。要我这么早起来还不如杀了我，呵呵！

那天我记得先在东头一堆废纸里拣出本掉了皮的adam smith，脱了的封皮上贴了张燕京大学的书票，俨然写着：read much,talk less, think more!虽然简单倒满有道理的。一问价，1块钱。哎，几十年的东东一个钢蹦就打发了。往西走了几家，看到一堆外文书眼睛一亮，这不是那欠扁的小布什么？《first son》，书贩河北口音开价15觉着有点黑，谁叫这米国总统书贩都看着面熟呢。马上声东击西，顺手拿起旁边这本书翻看。打开扉页觉着题签龙飞风舞的，定睛一看眼发出绿光了：hornable president Jiangzeming, with best wishes!
charles 05/02/96哈哈，拣了个不大不小的漏。和老板一番讨价18两本拿了。后来潘家园去过n次，最后从北京回家时已是大包小包象返乡民工，累趴下了。

王嘉廉该是王安之后华裔的IT牛人了，当然还有和苏惠论闹绯闻的Yahoo的二老板。据说这位CA的CEO前一段他还想买了网队迁到长岛，可惜人家就是不卖。书的内容有点老了，还好是教人怎么做CIO的，这是amazon上的书评:Wang, former CEO of a software company, tries his best to articulate why and how CEOs need to be on intimate terms with their CIOs. Much of his philosophizing concerns Americans' resistance to change and the resulting "disconnect," or inability to tie information technology into the very foundations of the business. The first two thirds of the book deals with the benefits of computers and how to integrate them; the last part consists of a streamlined vocabulary and discusses the implications of such terms as network computing and application development for the corporate U.S. Unfortunately, the author's jumpy narrative and dry tone inhibit readability, and the liberal references to his consulting firm can be jarring. A great premise and promise--if readers can wade through the delivery. Barbara Jacobs还有一位叫jones的死忠fans毫不吝啬的给出溢美之词 :This book is great, its readable, its affordable and it doesn't take a genius to understand it.Nonetheless, every CIO should read it, before their CEOs get hold of a copy, this is dynamite and it comes in a handy book sized container, small enough to smuggle past the most keenest of corporate gate-keepers.Charles Wang has written an excellent lessons learned document - the ultimate in structured intellectual capital - which, will no doubt fall on deaf ears, and be designed to oblivion along with 1,000,001 other great ideas, technology and software. On the other hand, maybe fate will be kind, and maybe corporate America will come to its senses and read this sound piece of advice.看这这本书，有点怀念潘家园了，布衣上都说现在潘家园无书可买，我觉着淘的结果并那么不重要吧。
