On my bedside table:
- Make magazine, volume 2: Articles about DIY robotics, using Legos for prototyping, how-to casemod an Atari 2600 into a PC that can play Atari game
- Scientific American, August 2005: test tube teeth, “conservation” in infants, where’s all that darn dark matter?
- A Long Way Down, by Colin Firth … no, Nick Hornby. Four people meet accidentally on the roof they’re all about to jump off.
- Getting Things Done, by David Allen. A methodology for being more productive that geeks and techies like because you can use gadgets. Plus it works.
- Goals, by Brian Tracy. Subtitled “How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible,” this is a guide to how to set and achieve your goals. Very inspiring if you read it bits at a time.
- One Shot, by Lee Child. Jack Reacher gets someone out of trouble again. This time it’s a former army sharpshooter who kills five people at random in a shooting spree, leaving the best trail of evidence that the police detective, the crime scene guy, and the DA have ever seen. Jack knew this guy when he did the same thing before, but there’s something wrong with this picture, and Jack’s going to figure out what.
And I always have Time, Newsweek, Bicycling Magazine and the New Yorker on hand. I tend to read the news magazines about two weeks late, because so much of what they report on each week is no longer news two weeks later.
