43: Use Your Perfect Memory: Dramatic New Techniques for Improving Your Memory; Third Edition by Tony Buzan This covers a lot of ground that Lorayne also covers. Interesting aspects of the 'Sem Cubed' that you can read about here. http://www.ludism.org/mentat/SemCubed 44: Help Yourself Get Everythin...

Or from a 46" widescreen TV.

If it has 2x2TB hard drives, wouldn't you use one to back up the other? Terry-- yes, this is what the RAID does--it 'stripes' the data across the two drives, so if one fails, you pop in a new one and the data automatically 'rebuilds'. Hard drive failure happens to everyone, but RAID gives you a muc...

I bought one of these a year or so ago and I love it. (211j) It has 2x2TB hard drives--I think it was around $400 spec'ed out like that. This is the current version: http://www.synology.com/products/product.php?product_name=DS212j&lang=us Pros: -RAID your data and survive hard drive crashes. -Do...

Bob, I don't know, but that sounds like a ton of fun. Report back with your salary range (it can be wide) if you end up going this direction. That being said, I think you've chosen the wrong board to make your post.

I seem constitutionally incapable of keeping a recent training log up here, so this must be what I do instead. 32: The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins Watched the movie with my wife and read the book after that. Shockingly I liked the movie a bit better. I will probably read the other two when I find...

What have you noticed not working? I've been having pretty good luck, especially inside the house.

26: The Dragon Never Sleeps - Glen Cook This book is tough to get into, but really good. I've read that it started out 80,000 words longer so it is very tightly written, almost to the point where it's too tight. Space Opera. 27: Slowing Down to the Speed of Life: How To Create A More Peaceful, Simpl...

Supposedly, there is some mentoring that happens in hockey as well, where rookies and younger players live with the older players and their families. The older players set them on the straight-and-narrow early, keep them out of the clubs and home for home-cooked meals. At least, this is what my boss...

25. Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis

I like his newer stuff better--this stuff is a period piece about the 80s.

Ed,

That is one hard way to learn a lesson for your kids. My best to your family.

24. The New Kings of Non Fiction edited by Ira Glass.

This book was pretty good stuff, with a wide variety of different authors. Worth picking up.

1. Jim Butcher - Storm Front - Dresden FIles Book 1 - decent quick read. Got it via kindle(app version) from my son. Nothing splashy and not literature or anything, but a decent read for mindlessness in the midst of thesis writing. BEWARE! The Dresden Files are book CRACK! + 1,000 My wife and Butch...

Damn, I need to get back to this, about half-way through all the math practice resources. Very good because you can self-pace.

Yes, make sure to create and then thumb up or thumb down stuff you do/don't like and that helps 'tune' the app.

20. Astronauts and Heretics - Thomas Marcinko is a buck on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Astronauts-and-Heretics-ebook/dp/B006JH4RNY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332546920&sr=8-1 and features stories about Elvis, Jesus, Superheroes and science fiction. Not my cup of tea, but not bad either. 21. Ma...

Also useful for dropbox, since the dropbox TOS means that they 'own' anything you store on their service. I agree with the OP.

so much wrong with that study it's difficult to determine where to begin. The article doesn't say much about the actual study which concluded that people who ate more meat were more likely to be fat fucks who were less likely to eat fruit and veggies and more likely to sit on their asses, smoke and...

Moving sucks so I haven't had time to update. 19. The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind is not light reading--I've been working on it on and off for literally years, and it's more like reading a Jeopardy board from the 70s with Greek Myth, neurobiology, abnormal psycholo...

I don't understand. I'm finding myself agreeing with the points made by IGX'ers on the Death Penalty. It's like I don't know this place any more.

I miss Kraj 1.0.
