Wow, the writing on this site is amazing.
He's a fan of HHGTTG (http://stilldrinking.org/the-fizzbuzz-from-outer-space-explained http://stilldrinking.org/the-fizzbuzz-from-outer-space-expla...), of course, wrote a conversational piece with some hilarious lines (http://stilldrinking.org/waiting-for-doctor-who http://stilldrinking.org/waiting-for-doctor-who), and explained why programming is all of the best parts of art and engineering and project management combined (http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks), and a very nice and even-handed eulogy for Fred Phelps (http://stilldrinking.org/a-letter-from-fred-phelps http://stilldrinking.org/a-letter-from-fred-phelps)...
This is really some of the best writing I've seen online in a long time.
- nmjohn 12y agoI have found myself, now two hours after clicking this link, finally returning to the comments because I spent so long reading his other posts. Peter is an incredible writer and even in places where we have differing views on the world, it still was a joy to read his perspective because of the way it was articulated. I recommend reading a post or two, highly worth the time. I actually went and ordered his book because I liked his writing so much, something I've never even remotely considered before.
