		<description><![CDATA[Book: delete
By: Viktor Mayer-Schonberger
Been some time since I&#8217;ve last done a Book Buzz post.  With changing projects from Lansing MI to Charleston WV, my podcast listening has experienced a boom, while unfortunately my reading rate has suffered.  No longer can I churn through books on weekly flights, and while audiobooks are good, I [...]]]></description>
