Crater Lake debacle

What a turn of events!! We had a wonderful plan of going to Crater Lake this memorial day weekend. Sumera got sick, and spent a day in the hospital :(. We had to dump the plans. The rest of the group did make the trip. Well, what you gonna do. Eventually its all fine and she is in good health.
So the long weekend was either in the hospital or taking it easy at home. Can't complain though. Had fun watching movies :)
Here's five more songs from my top 25

• Free Falling
• Sweet home alabama
• Paint my love
• Wonderwall
• Don't know why
  

How Toyota Became #1

This book kept me engrossed. A must read for everyone. It talks about how toyota started from manufacturing looms to making fuel-efficient cars. David Magee dissects the whole Toyota Production System (TPS) which has some basic principles. Some I could grasp are

• strive for continuous improvement
• the five whys with which you uncover the source of the problem
  
• go to the source to problem and see it for yourself
• stop everything until you fix the problem
• think long term
• learn from failures

The book indicates that the principles are heavily influenced from a book written by Samuel Smiles called "Self Help". That should be a good one as well. Everyone knows the principles, but this book exemplifies how Toyota implements them. Truly one of the best books I've read.
