"What to expect the first year" and Suze Orman's "2009 Action Plan" and Wired magazine...interesting article about Google in there.
Rereading Hemingway. Finished "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Depressed now. "Green Hills of Africa", next. Short sentences. Goofy making. Formidable.
BTW one thing never to say to your SO, "You have more periods than a Hemingway novel".
I've just been reading 3L-V080...
The license plate of the douchebag on a KTM Duke who was splitting lanes and generally driving like an asshole on Royal Lane (weaving in and out of lanes in school zones, flipping people off, riding their asses, etc). However, he fucked with the wrong dude up ahead of me. Some guy in an Accord got tired of Mr. KTM's antics and braked checked him - HARD. Like, locked 'em all up hard. Nobody wrecked, and I went on my way.

Reading/experimenting with a couple food science books.

Just finished this one last month. Great series.

I won't list any of the textbooks though, they're pretty boring.

Hey, Chris... I like the look of the Crust & Crumb book... Learn any good techniques from it? Is it a proper "food science" book? We're prepping to ramp up amateur hour in the baking dept again. Off to a good start this year with a very crusty sourdough.
Playboy
If this book is a 10 for food science (technical down to chemistry models):Quote:

Then Crust and Crumb is a mid pack 5-7, especially compared to Alton Brown's baking book that is slightly less technical. But more than makes up for in ease to understand.
I have not had a chance to try their Sourdough starter, it does call for some slightly harder to find ingredients. IIRC it calls for making raisin juice and feeding it with malt (wheat? or barley?).
I haven't finished it or tried any of their recipes, but that and Alton Brown's would be a good teaching book (Crust and Crumb is less than $10 on Amazon).

Kidding of course. Playboy does have good articles.
GrassRootsMotorsports, Diesel Power, Road & Track all in various bathrooms. Just completed Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy and I am waiting for Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.
Should be here in March.
This guy isn't Ron Paul crazy is he?Quote:

I love reading.

I read that one. Minimal mental is right! Disappointing for a Grisham novel to say the least.Quote:

No, LOL, Mark Levin is an expert in constitutional law. Taken from Mark's website where I COPIED it: Mark Levin is one of America’s preeminent conservative commentators and constitutional lawyers. He’s in great demand as a political and legal commentator, and has appeared on hundreds of television and radio programs. Levin is also a contributing editor for National Review Online, and writes frequently for other publications. Levin has served as a top advisor to several members of President Ronald Reagan’s Cabinet - including as Chief of Staff to the Attorney General of the United States. In 2001, the American Conservative Union named Levin the recipient of the prestigious Ronald Reagan Award. He currently practices law in the private sector, heading up the prestigious Landmark Legal Foundation in Washington DC. I love to read political books. He is straight forward with his beliefs on how there should be limited government. He is pretty irate about the 'stimulus'.Quote:

I am reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, and the Limbaugh Letter, and The Individualist, and drudgereport, fark, and ttac.com.
