I&#8217;ve been reading &#8220;Autism&#8217;s False Prophets&#8221; by Paul Offit, as I&#8217;ve been recently quite interested in the anti-vaccination movement that seems to have infected Amercan culture (and elsewhere, too).

		<description><![CDATA[Ok.  Here&#8217;s the deal.
When I was in middle school, I read the first four or five of the Sword of Truth novels.  Before this, I had read Eddings (the Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium, and Tamuli), Brooks (Shannara), Brian Jacques (the Redwall books), and a few others.  But the Goodkind was a bit, well, different.

		<description><![CDATA[First off, go buy this book.  It isn&#8217;t new or anything (published in 2000), so I&#8217;m not quite sure why the local Borders was randomnly stocking four copies of it, but holy jebus am I glad I found it.

The book is basically the complete &#8220;early&#8221; history of PARC (late 60&#8217;s, the 70&#8217;s, and early 80&#8217;s) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started reading The Productive Programmer today, and I&#8217;ve already, in the first 15 pages or so (including introduction), found some interesting tidbits worth sharing.
One of the first things the author mentions is the idea that having a nomenclature for something makes it more readily discoverable, comprehensible, and reproducible.  I&#8217;ve never seen it put as [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t had a dependable internet connection in my apartment, and attending to personal obligations at work is a no-no, so my blog has gotten the shaft.

		<description><![CDATA[Christmas was good to me this year.  TGI books, books, and more books.  Oh, and some sake from my father and Jack from my brother.

First off, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve read from what has been added to my fledgling collection:

The Design and Evolution of C++ &#8211; Bjarne Stroustrup &#8211; This is a great read. [...]]]></description>
