I have no idea how, but despite welcoming our fourth child in February I managed to read voluminously this semi-annual period, almost 4,000 pages. I wasn't coding or taking any classes, but that is still probably twice what I normally read. The selection of books was all over the map. I only grouped them together after the fact. Some were for professional development, some for personal interest on the topic, and others because they were considered "Great". Of the "Great" books some truly deserve that epithet but others not at all.

Information Arbiters (Pools v. Streams)
Why I Still Receive Email Newsletters:
The greatest blessing of the internet carries with it a subtle curse. The explosion of rich and interesting information created a major problem for those who want to understand what's going on in the world but are not in front of their computers all day digesting the steady information stream. On the one hand we have access to all kinds of data and analysis from the most diverse sources but on the other hand, the cost of filtering it is extremely high. This isn't even a comment on "fake news". It's just a note about the difficulty of finding items that are useful or particularly good.
