Non-Fiction: The Four-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss Ferriss left me thinking a lot about hacking in 2011. Not just one’s body, but everything. I didn’t put much of this into practice in 2011, but for 2012, I’ll be trying more of it. Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk Left me saying “fuck yeah!” and inspired me [...]
• Despite all the “aw fuck, I just broke a towel holder off the wall” and related minor issues, I love owning a house, dudes. Tonight, I’ve got some stuffs to do, and some measurements to take, and I gotta start pricing out drywall and insulation for the garage. Along with a heater. And electrical [...]
Man. I am way behind schedule on a lot of stuff right now. Work is kicking my ass senseless, and with the impending move and other fun, I can barely keep my head above water right now. Behind the curve on packing. Thus far, I have gotten the books and about 2/3rds of the bike [...]
Upcoming novels that I’m dying to get my hands on: Fuzzy Nation (May 10th) – odd that I’d be looking forward to a “re-imagining” of a classic SF book, but two factors: 1.) I loved the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, and 2.) hello? It’s John Fucking Scalzi1. The guy could write a book with a chapter-long [...]
Here’s the list of books I took with me to read on the beach in Jamaica: The House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds The Final Solution by Michael Chabon Bike Snob: Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling by Bike Snob NYC Bicycling Science, 3rd Edition by David Gordon Wilson The Black Swan: Second [...]
Crazy times. Things have never been more chaotic in our household — TempCat™ coming and going, social and wedding planning schedules that are utterly insane, financial planning, honeymoon planning, plus both our jobs, my framebuilding thing, and all that jazz. You’d think that this would be the causation of some pretty interesting arguments. In reality, [...]
Digging into Karl Schroeder’s Queen of Candesce right now. I love the guy’s world-building, and Virga is a memorable locale. It’s the last of the trio of books I bought at Uncle Hugo’s a few weeks ago, and turning into the best of the three. The others were Edelman’s Infoquake and Morgan’s Altered Carbon. The [...]
So I’ve been tearing through my reading list the past few months, putting the kibosh on buying new books and focusing on the ones I’ve purchased in the past and not yet read. Right now, I’m reading Eragon, which people apparently loved. I remember the ranting about how it was amazing that a 15-year old [...]
So it’s been awhile since my last post. Partly because I had a short week at the office last week and a normal workload. I got everything done, then blew town for Vegas, which was awesome, as usual. The first thing you’ll have noticed is that I reverted back to the old theme I’d been [...]
So I had this awesomely huge to-do list for the weekend, and was all gung-ho about getting through it. Saturday morning, I woke up, attacked it and lasted until about 1pm before I decided that I was done. I did manage to get in a good ride, hit up Target for some necessities, and wash [...]
