This is a retweet from @mashable: Google announces that its new Chrome OS will launch in Autumn. You can read about the new OS at the Mashable site – http://bit.ly/dsTT9K.

Finally a magazine for analytics fanatics who love demographic segmentation — The Onion has a very funny 30 sec psuedo-news radio segment (The anchor’s voice is just perfect for this humor). The following link is for one of their segments — given the analytics nature of this site, I felt it was pretty relevent as well as knee-slapping hilarious.  You can check out the “Demographic Magazine”  session at the following URL below:

It’s not everyday one gets to share a book on which a client help create, so I am figuring a healthy shout-out is in order here.

Stuart Scott created a coffeetable book called We Shall Overcome: A Song That Changed The World.   The book tells the story of how the famous song played a galvanizing role in the civil rights movement, as well as other social events during the period. There is  a CD recording of the song included with the book.

Terrance Cummings, a former Zimana client, created the illustrations for the book.  Cummings is an award winning illustrator, an art director, and a former teacher at Parsons School of Design.  He has illustrated several books in his past, along with managing catalog layout design and graphic design projects for corporate clients.  He has a studio in New Jersey, just outside of New York City.

Stuart Scott’s appearance will be at Politics and Prose in Washington DC on February 11th (click here to learn more) .  You can purchase the book via Amazon (click here for purchase).  The Amazon site also has a cool video to accompany the post.

I wish the very best to Stuart and Terrance.

And I wish the very best to all during Black History Month.
