POD: Programming Books

20160218_Books

While cleaning my desk at work the other day I was surprised to see a stack of programming books. Usually they sit hidden behind one of my many monitors. It got me thinking about when the last time I had actually opened one of them. I can’t remember. I can remember reading a few of those books like novels, as I tried to learn the secretes they contain. Or reaching for them looking up some command I couldn’t remember. Now they just sit there, and Google provides the answers. It leaves me wondering what should I do with them? How useful is the information they contain?

POD: Valintines Day Hockey with Violet

To Violet and I headed down to the MasterCard Centre to watch the last home game of the Toronto Furry. Violet was really excited to see Natalie Spooner play. She ware’s her number 24 on her DS team and was so sad that we were not able to get her autograph. The game was great, the Furries managing to tie it in the final few minutes to force overtime. Unfortunately they lost in overtime, but Violet loved the game, and I think we’ll be watching a lot more Furry games in the years to come.
