Currently Reading 3/16/2021
As usual, the library has my desired titles on hold for weeks, and then seems to release them all at once. If I don’t check them out promptly, they’ll go to the next patron and I’ll need to wait for even more weeks. This week, there are four titles that I am reading all at … Continue reading Currently Reading 3/16/2021
RSS, Read It Later and Newsletters
This is the sixteenth year I have had the internet deliver me updates using the website feed aggregation protocol and it just keeps getting better. RDF Site Summary, or Real Simple Syndication, helps me stay up to date with my favorite websites, blogs, podcasts and some social media channels. Instead of visiting a hundred different … Continue reading RSS, Read It Later and Newsletters
A Gentle Madness
Here I go again. I borrow or place books on hold from the library and they are available all at once. I’m in over my head again because I want to savor and learn as opposed to rushing through them. I need a book budget. These are in my digital nightstand: Continue reading A Gentle Madness

Care to peruse my Library? These are books I’ve read in the past or will read soon. Continue reading Now Reading: The Peripheral

I don’t read a lot of science fiction unless it ties in with modern or near future technologies but Chinese science fiction takes it to the next level. Continue reading Now Reading- To Hold Up The Sky
Curate To Create
If you are like me, hoarding content for future use, it can give off a false sense of knowledge. In my experience, the best way to understand something is to create or produce my content in my style and then share it with the world. I’ve accomplished this throughout the years here and through my … Continue reading Curate To Create
The Anti-Library
The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books … Continue reading The Anti-Library
