So this has been a good week for staying busy and making money. I’ve been working every day since my parents were here, and it looks like I’ll me able to pay my cable bill this month.
Of course, working at the shop means reading sweet books, and the one I’m reading right now is called “Escher, Godel, Bach: Eternal Golden Braid.” it’s a doozy, and I’m only a quarter of the way in. So far though I like it a lot. Seem to be about the unusual properties of formal systems, and a little about the nature of intelligence. It’s a bitnoverwhelming actually, but as soon as I digest it I’ll be blogging about it. I’m looking forward to it.

I’m about 400 pages into Moby-Dick right now. It’s hard to say whether my experience has been as satisfying as the one that you are likely having with EGB.
Looking forward to seeing what you have to say about that. I seem to always consider buying that when I’m at a bookstore, but can never pull the trigger.
it’s on amazon for less than $11 after shipping
my 2nd favorite book after zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. anyone who doesnt love it likely has no soul.
