A bunch of new things

My stack of reading books is so out of control it is overwhelming. On the stack, or in progress:

• The Pragmatic Programmer
• Rules of Play
• Design Patterns
• Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming

These are just the non-fiction, programming books on the stack. I’m not sure when i’ll get to the last one, its pretty heavy (figuratively and literally). The Pragmatic Programmer is excellent, and i’d recommend it to anyone that programs.

With the change of the seasons comes a new wave of TV shows. Unfortunately, it seems that there are quite a few that are worth watching. Right now we are trying to keep up with:

• New this season
  • Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - what can i say, i really like Arron Sorkin.
  • Smith - Go Ray go!
  • Jerico - this is likely the first on the chopping block, i just wanted to watch it because of the nuclear holocaust angle.
• Returning Series
  • CSI - starting watching last season and got kind of hooked. Once you can except that in the world of this show, the CSI guys are the ones that actually do all of the work, the show is quite fun.
  • Stargate:Atlantis
  • Battlestar Galactica

That’s just way too much TV for me.
