I spent $300 on books today.  I used to gripe about reading online.  Now I read everything online.  Oh.. no.. wait.. actually I don't!  I can edit/read/compile/debug reams and reams of code on the screen.  But I can only read a few sentances or maybe a whole paragraph of text before I have to print it out.

This weekend I'm digging into a bunch of good stuff:

Modern C++ Design
Axis
Smart Device Extensions

And enough XSLT to do something interesting, but hopefully not enough to hurt me too much.

I bought my books at Softpro - a store that has comfortable chairs, coffee, knowledgable staff and WiFi!!  They even have a shower.  One could just live and code there, have access to any (current) computer book or magazine, and occasionally walk out to the mega mall across the street for food or a movie.  Then I remembered that BN has Starbucks that has T-Mobile.  But get this: Softpro's WiFi is free.  As it should be.  I just spent $300.00 there, right?!!!
