My wife and I generally spend at least an hour a day in driving to and back home. We would listen crappy FM radio drive shows to pass the time, but they are all the same old tired act. I decided I was gonna start making my commute time more productive so I got me a subscription to audible.com. Not only does it make the once wasted hour in the car more productive, it makes the trip go by much faster.

My wife and I have the luxury of riding to work together so I started downloading my books to my Pocket PC. I started with some marketing books by Seth Godin and some investing books by Jim Cramer. These were books I wanted to read, but didn’t have the extra time and I am definitely ADD when it comes to sitting down and reading. I listened to a few books like this with my headphones when my wife decided she would like to listen to try listening to some books as well. I decided at this point to move away from my educational/informative books and get some mysteries and horror books. What a great decision this has been. We have really been enjoying books and it actually makes the commutes enjoyable.

If you haven’t already done so, try out some audio books during your commute. They are so much better than the mindless crap you will find on the radio.

Well, it looks like Mark Cuban is a little smarter than some people give him credit for. Everyone laughed and mocked him when he said buying Youtube was stupid because the big video players were just waiting for someone with money to purchase YouTube so they would have someone to sue.

Here is his vindication. Viacom Sues Google, YouTube for 1 Billion Dollars
