draft day – the second football movie of the year

Posted on 22 October 2014 By antipaucity

And while not as good as When The Game Stands Tall, still a very good movie. The parents’ guide warnings from IMDB may be helpful – there’s more language than needed for the story-telling, though I guess that’s what brought it into the PG13 range instead of PG. I’m not a huge fan of sports…

programming your home by mike riley

Posted on 5 May 201428 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on programming your home by mike riley

Mike Riley’s entry in The Pragmatic Programmers series, Programming Your Home – automating with Arduino, Android, and your computer – was a lot of fun. While I am not really in a position to do many of the mini projects given in the book (wrong type of house plus we rent), reading some of the…

coolidge by amity shlaes

Posted on 1 May 20142 May 2014 By antipaucity 5 Comments on coolidge by amity shlaes

Calvin Coolidge is my favorite president. Has been for a long time. So when I saw Coolidge at my local bookstore recently, I was very excited to grab a copy and read Amity Shlaes rendition of his life. In just the first 18 pages is enough to inspire anyone to love the man we call…

germline by t c mcarthy

Posted on 28 April 201427 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on germline by t c mcarthy

As promised when I finished Mira Grant’s Newsflesh trilogy, I did read Germline by T C McCarthy. I wasn’t able to get into the second book of the trilogy (Exogene), and haven’t attempted the last (Chimera) – but Germline was amazing. A quick disclaimer first – this book is most certainly NOT for the faint of stomach,…

kingmakers by karl ernest meyer and shareen blair brysac

Posted on 23 April 201416 April 2014 By antipaucity

Karl Ernest Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac present what should be a fascinating history of the modern Middle East in their recent book Kingmakers: The Invention of the Modern Middle East. I have been interested in Middle Eastern history (ancient and modern) for many years, and so was excited to see this book as I…

why nations fail by daron acemoglu and james a robinson

Posted on 16 April 20149 April 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on why nations fail by daron acemoglu and james a robinson

I first came across Why Nations Fail at my local Half Price Books. After seeing it on the shelves a couple times, but still being unsure about whether I really wanted to read it or not, I reserved it at my local library. Now I wish I had bought it (and likely will) – Daron…

the seven stages of expertise

Posted on 3 April 201431 March 2014 By antipaucity

I recently found The Seven Stages of Expertise in Software Engineering. Stage 1: Innocent barely knowledgeable if at all Stage 2: Exposed seeking knowledge Stage 3: Apprentice has read case studies and tries to apply those techniques Stage 4: Practitioner can actually apply concepts learned in one context to a not-identical context Stage 5: Journeyman…
