Today I logged in my 150th visit to the gym at work. I will be reimbursed for my entire year of gym fees! This pleases me greatly. Sure, It's not like I'm going to be able to quit work and bang on me drum all day because of this, but it gives me some satisfaction.
I heard the
author of this book interviewed today. I am very interested in reading it.
I'm sure there are countless books on DaVinci, but his accomplishments never cease to dazzle me.
My lust for the Amazon Kindle has increased. I don't really want to buy new books until I know where my mind is on the Kindle. So I won't be buying The Science of Leonardo just yet. And it appears people do have some success with pdf files. As well as word documents and .JPG and .GIF Files. My resolve is weakening. The good news is they are sold out. So gratification cannot be instant. Maybe, like a bad rash, my craving for this object will subside and I'll get over it.
Maybe not.
I was watching the second episode of season 1 of BSG and came upon the scene where we see Admiral Adama's book collection. Now that we have at least two ebook devices on the market that are easy on the eyes, I was amused that he still lugged around big ol' books. I can understand. Book are a pleasure to hold and to read...sometimes. Of course, in the BSG world, the value of those books jumped to huge proportions, since likely all written matter was blown up real good. Except anything that stayed around on Earth. Which they have yet to find.
