Feb 01, 2010 Review: Kindle 2
I absolutely love books. My shelves are overflowing with them and I have an irrational desire to buy more at a rate considerably faster than what I can finish them at. So with this obsession of mine, it would probably seem like blasphemy to buy, let alone enjoy, an e-book reading device, right? There are plenty of die-hard bookworms who would in an instant agree, but I have to question if their knee-jerk reaction is merely a result of stubbornness.

Jun 03, 2009 An observation of quality in the Great Books of the Western World
I have been contemplating buying a set of the Great Books of the Western World for some time and now that I am a little more serious about dropping some cash on a set, I thought it would be a good idea to get a feel for the quality first.
May 29, 2009 Javascript: passing object self reference to anonymous functions nested within multiple objects
I know the title of this post is a little complicated but I feel it best describes the problem at hand. In Javascript, objects, arrays and variables are all technically the same thing which allows you to do some interesting stuff - such as nesting functions inside arrays inside variables inside objects inside variables. There are of course issues of scope when doing this sort of thing, though. One problem I recently came across was that I needed to reference the parent object's self from within an anonymous function that is nested within an array.
Dec 18, 2008 List of books for atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers
Here is a collection of nonfiction books I find interesting as an atheist and I suspect will also be appreciated by other non-believers. I have not yet read all of these, but I plan to read every last one - time permitting. I will update the list as I come across more books that I feel should be included.
