David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest: Recommended by Erk. Loving it so far, still early on.

Edward Tufte’s _Envisioning Information_: Halfway through. I wanted The Visual Display of Quantitative Information but the bookstores I checked didn’t have them and I have no patience. I’m looking forward to the next every-day-use of a stem and leaf plot. That should say something.

Kevin Mitnick’s Uh, latest silly hacker book. I don’t remember the title and it isn’t on kevinmitnick.com anywhere easy to find, what gives? _Art Of Intrusion_: Hyped, not nearly as good as the last one, which isn’t saying much. Borrow my copy, don’t waste your money. Oh, I used to make fun of Quake clan pages that had q1 graphics and red text on black backgrounds. Yay red text on black backgrounds. Still trite.

Bonus: David Allen’s Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity: I’ve not gotten this done yet. There is always something that pops up or whatever… Maybe I should get a book on time management, or maybe something about seeing things through to the end. Hrmm… Recommended. I said “open loops” the other day in a meeting. Fucking open loops man. All this managing is going to my head.
