The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

I saw a copy of this on Saturday at Michael’s house. This used to be a favorite of mine as a kid and it was really cool to see kids today still enjoying it. Its also one of those rare cases of someone doing something for a period of time and then saying “thats enough”. Too often the comic pages are the same old thing over and over but Bill Watterson knew when to quit while still at the top of his game.

One quick Amazon complaint. When you create an “image only” link (not like the one above) it generates the URL as a relative URL:
<img border=”0″ src=”21JWCVFEK2L._AA_SL160_.jpg”>
Of course that is relative on your site so it is always busted until you figure out the correct base URL. Its been broken like this for well over a year.

Books- New books to read

Time for me to get off my butt and grab these two new books- one from Robert Scoble of blogging fame and the other from Guy Kawasaki who pretty much invented the role “evangelist” back in the old-days at Apple.
I’ve been writing tons of code at work, but I should take a bit of time to upgrade the infrastructure for this site so I can blog a bit easier. Maybe I’d be less lazy and update the site more often then. At least I now have a way to create articles as distinct documents- the next step is RSS which should be really easy now.
