Seth Godin: Unleashing the Ideavirus
This is the book that made me fall in love with Seth and his ways. I wrote my own little book of notes while reading it. 
Guy Kawasaki: The Art of the Start : The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything
This book blew me away. Excellent resource for entrepreneuers, or would-be entrepreneuers.
Seth Godin: Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
Excellent book for any business trying to figure out how to get ahead. This might be Seth's most successful (remarkable?) idea. A must read.
Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba: Creating Customer Evangelists: How Loyal Customers Become a Volunteer Sales Force
My favorite business book ever.
Malcolm Gladwell: The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Every bit as good as the hype. Fascinating read about how ideas spread and how you can best spread yours. 
Tom Peters: Re-imagine!
This is not a book for wimps. I still haven't taken it all in. It's densely packed with jewels, nuggets and mind blowing material. Feels like reading an encyclopedia that you can't live without.
Seth Godin: All Marketers Are Liars : The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World
Another great book from Seth. This one got me thinking about how I present my business, and how others want to perceive me. It gave me some great ideas. The "liar" metaphor was too much of a stretch IMO (it was done to grab attention but he had to spend too much time saying "no, not really liars") but the counsel is rock solid.

I think of the perfect domain name. It's obscure, but very cool. Memorable, perfect for what I need. No way has anyone else registered it. Oops, I guess someone did, darn. And look all they're doing with it is some stupid spam page. What a waste. Grrr.
After Illinois Governor Blagojevich said "testicular virility", testicularvirility.com was bought up.
And apparently Greenspan's comments tend to become popular domain names as well.

Ha!
Yeah I bet irrationalexuberance.com lasted about 5 min.

it's funny that you mention that, my nickname since I was a child was frogbody... and just when I go to register it, someone has taken it and made a completely legitimate site out of what should have been a character name on the cartoon network. Thanks alot Carson.

hahaha... well Simply Homer (John) having seen you in person, I can attest to your continued worthiness of the title. For the right price, this domain can be yours, you really should consider it.
