Hi, John! Thanks for the shout-out a while back! I found your entry because I was Googling myself to check something for an entry I’m currently writing. Cheers!
Didn’t know you have a blog….
My favorite media for getting information are my computer, iPhone and my Kindle. I get CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Daily Finance and Reuters that way. What is interesting though is when I read an actual magazine or newspaper I seem to take more time and enjoy the experience more than when I am consuming information through the electronic medium. Finally, I get HBR and McKinsey in print.
