@paulg ordering it now. The Wright Brothers have been #innovating before it was even cool. #startedinagarage #the #original #disruptors

@paulg thanks! Have you read "The Most Powerful Idea in the World"? Sounds similar but more about innovation than steam. "Box" is another.

@paulg David & Goliath theme. Strikes a chord with the startup brotherhood (and sisterhood). What's not to love?

@paulg have you read Benjamin Franklin by @walterisaac?

@paulg i think you'd like "the box" if you haven't seen that - http://www.amazon.com/The-Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller/dp/0691136408 …

@paulg Another fascinating book, mostly letters from the Wrights: http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-At-Kitty-Hawk-Letters/dp/0306812037 … Much to learn about entrepreneurship from them.

@paulg @ShawnChittle Funny -- I have it sitting right here on the desk next to my keyboard.

@ShawnChittle @paulg I got it thinking perhaps there was public opposiiton to airplane tech like there is now with drones. Turns out, no.

@ShawnChittle @paulg First to achieve sustained, controlled flight. Others put a person into the air first, but not controlled flight.
