    26 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    The goal today is to get through about 150 pages or so of Gotham, which will put me in a good position to finish up by Friday. It’s just about 8 AM now, and if I get started at 8 AM, and give myself until 8 PM (with a few breaks, of course), I can…

  • Woodpecker

    For the last couple of mornings, when I leave for work, I’ve heard this fast drumming-like sound, something that sounds like a cell phone on vibrate on a wood table. It occurred to me the other day, that the sound is, in fact, a woodpecker in my neighbors tree. I can hear it right now…

    That’s what I spend the early part of my evening doing. I am so sick of pizza, I am always telling people how sick of pizza I am, but this evening, what did I do? I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt bad for a delivery man. This…

  • Sleep–interrupted

    24 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I turned out the lights at 10 PM last night and slept fitfully until just after 1 AM. Since then, I’ve been awake, unable to go back to sleep. I’m debating giving up, turning on the light and reading until I have to get ready for work, in about 4 hours, but I’m going to…

  • SNL: The Best of Christopher Walken

    24 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I got this DVD from NetFlix today and it is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always been a Christopher Walken fan, but this is him at his funniest. I laughed through the entire hour and twenty minutes of skits.

  • 998 books

    23 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I’ve just ordered my 998th book, Joe Haldeman’s War Stories. This means that I need 2 more books to reach 1,000. One of the two books I’m already planning on ordering–it’s the one volume I’m missing in the 11-volume Story of Civilization series by Will Durant. That means, I really only need one more book…

  • A little work on the reading website

    23 Mar 2006 » 1 min read about Productivity & Tools

    I did a little work on the reading website tonight, but nothing published publically yet. I’m working on two new features. One shows a list of future books that I’ll be reading. The other shows estimated completion dates for current and future books, as well as progress on the current book. I’m also thinking about…
