Weekend Reading

I have way too many links backed up to blog.. here at least is a tabdump.

Interesting blogs, perhaps to bookmark

• Many-to-Many (Corante) by Many. Sociometa.
• God Plays Dice by Isabel. Mathy.
• The Universe of Discourse by Mark Jason Dominus. Mathy and softwarey.
• Realty Check with Diana Olick/CNBC
• The Housing Bubble Blog Look at that sky up there, falling.
• The Big Picture Econ-focused.

Harry Potter

• Michael Giltz: Why Harry Potter Won't be a Bestseller/HuffingtonPost - the book isn't allowed on the master NYTimes bestseller list
• Finished ‘Potter’? Rowling tells what happens next /MSNBC - maybe an encyclopedia. She still has all these notes, y'see.
• J.K. Rowling interview with Meredith Vieira/MSNBC
• Harry’s fate known to millions, yet still secret /MSNBC - spoiler warnings are still used everywhere.. but for how long?

Software

• Coding Horror: The Non-Maximizing Maximize Button - misses the point of Apple's zoom button entirely. Agreed, it doesn't do an awesome job on web pages, but on Finder windows it actually finds the right size to show you everything there is to see. Windows' File Explorer windows are always, always the wrong size and you have to go dragging window sides to see all the content in the window. Bah.

• The Universe of Discourse : Another useful utility

It's nice to find a site you can trust. I like the privacy of shopping online, but you never know what sites are okay. This site was recommended by a friend so I tried it. The service was great! I'm becoming a frequent shopper! ;) toys sex shop paypal
