Now that Pre-Term is mostly over and all that’s left is the Learning Team Retreat, I’m taking the time to catch up (and get ahead) on small tasks here and there. I’ve been going through Career Management’s website gathering up tips and documents to help me in the recruiting process. We have to make a [...]

Last week I was on vacation and I took that opportunity to catch up on some reading. I fiddled around in a few books but mainly spent my time with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I whipped through it just in time to catch the movie last Thursday up in Edwards, Colorado at [...]

I took the waiting time at the train stations and during the rides to finish the second half of Amsterdam today. This was really a slow starter for me, but it got decent towards the end. It definitely is more of a literary than popular book and as such, took more time to think about. [...]

After having read Liar’s Poker and flipped through The Fast Track, I probably judged i-banking too quickly. So this weekend, I picked up a couple of new books on banking. It will make for some good in-flight reading on the way to Wharton Welcome Weekend.
I’ve started on the Goldman book and so far it’s got [...]

I really thought I had Dan Brown figured out this time. I’m glad I was wrong, because it made the book even better. I read the majority of it in one day (460+ of the 569 pages) and must agree with a few of my friends that this one is better than The Da Vinci [...]

I was in San Antonio a couple times over the weekend and made a quick stop in Barnes & Noble to pick up a book I had read back in sixth grade. I knew I’d have some free time to spend reading but I didn’t have my copy of Angels & Demons with me. I [...]

I just finished reading Deception Point, the second book I’ve read by Dan Brown. While it initially did not hold my attention as much as The Da Vinci Code, the pace quickened in the middle of the book and continued through the intense ending. The plot of this one had me completely fooled as I [...]

I upgraded the Recent Books Section to display a small icon to show more clearly what I’m currently reading and what I have already completed. I simply added a tinyint field to the ae_data table and added a switch statement to the code. I think it’s a nice touch to the already great Amazon Media [...]

Just as I did last weekend, I spent most of this weekend stuck in a book. The Last Juror was my most recent pick at the bookstore, entirely because it’s been on the best sellers list. As I did last time, I knocked it out in two days.
While I enjoyed this story, it certainly did [...]

Wow! I have never been so addicted to flipping the pages in a book. It’s a good thing I decided to buy this on a weekend because I spent all day Saturday and today in the story.
I must say that even though this is a “popular” work and not a classic, it is probably my [...]
