For a keyboard, wireless buys me nothing but introduces a number of new potential issues. For a mouse, wireless buys you some convenience and freedom of movement. However (and this is slightly niche so it really doesn’t apply in general) I

Depends what you mean by “finish”. Especially for reference books, I may get everything I need out of it without deeply reading from cover to cover. For a reference work I usually skim it first, just to get a very high level overview before

Personally, my policy is not to talk on the phone except with people who are close to me. All of the people who are close to me know that I prefer not to talk on the phone. Ergo, anyone who calls me is not someone I want to talk to.

I couldn’t get into Libra at all, but I couldn’t put down American Tabloid. Maybe I should give Libra another shot.

Nope, in fact I’d be interested in a vocal course myself because I’ve broken a guitar string and have no spares.

These chairs are big and heavy, shipping will probably be annoying. I got mine from an office liquidator ~30 minutes from my home, which I found just by searching for office liquidators near me that had inventory listings online. As a bonus

That might be an interesting counterfactual for a blog post (or series). What if {x} had been the dominant web scripting language? What does that language offer that JS can’t match, and what trade offs does it make to get there? I suppose y

I feel like those are an evolution of devices like the GP2X. Interestingly, by virtue of being vastly more "hacker-friendly" than iPods, many things that are _really_ cool (like a Quake port) feel kind of mundane on those. I think

Even MacBooks are scaled to something that looks like a crisper 1440x900 (the 13-inch at least). And they aren’t 4K native resolution. It’s nice to have better looking font, but it’s the kind of feature that sort of disappears for me over a
