Almost everyone has experienced the phenomenon of forgetting everything you wanted to pick up when you actually walk into the store. The easy solution is a shopping list, of course, but shopping is not always a planned event. This happened to me Friday when we went to Half-priced Books. We had a few coupons... I couldn't think of anything I wanted. Maybe I download too much of my music and books, but I was completely blank. I looked around online today and found some stuff I'd probably enjoy picking up... mostly recommendations by Cory Doctorow and other BoingBoing writers. I'll have to make a list if I plan to remember them all, I know I'll blank out again if I don't... we're planning a return trip on our way to the movie theater to see Monsters vs Aliens in 3D.
