Hey, Nice Rack!

I thought that might get your attention.

Another week begins tomorrow, filled with more disadvantaged users of advanced technology largely wasted on the stubborn. I'm not feeling very helpful. I am, however, staying in a Hampton Inn this evening, just outside Fort Stewart, Georgia, in Hinesville. Justin knows where that is. He was stationed here years ago.

I finished The Google Story on the way here (it was about a three-hour-drive) and found it very interesting. Most of the audiobooks I've listened to I've also vowed to buy in hard copy. I've done that with only one so far, and just shelved the book; it was the 9/11 Commission Report. I'm not about to read that again anytime soon.

The Google Story is an interesting one, and the perspective it provides makes me want to study math and go work for the search engine. I doubt that will ever happen. They're too big now, and with its large size comes all sorts of trouble to work for, like the government. That's all I have to say about that.

I'm now on to another audiobook, Linked: The New Science of Networks. It is very interesting in its sociological take on many things. I thought it would be more technologically-centered, but it takes a more social approach to networks and studies on them. I have been unable to listen to it at a faster speed; there is a lot of information that must be taken slowly. Looks like I'll be in this one for the entire eight hours and eight minutes. The link to the current audiobook is always at the end of my reading list.
