Zen and the Art of Enterprise Maintenance
Surreptitiously, while I was inspired to write this post, I heard Garrison Keillor on NPR’s Writer’s Almanac do a short birthday piece on Robert Persig, author of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” For other Hippie 2.0′s out there, “Zen” occupies essential shelf space on the permanent library.

The Urgency of Now
