A rare situation

A week ago yesterday I turned 26, joining the ranks of such great people as everyone else born in 1982 before July 13th and 1981 after July 13th. It turned out to be a pretty great day. I got some Greek Koroneiki olive oil and white balsamic vinegar shipped in from The Olive Tap, gift cards to a couple locations, a big box of cookies from work, and – this blew my mind – The Art of Computer Programming vol. 1-3 from Courtney. It’s not an understatement to say that these collected works are the bible of computer scientists, and I’ve been wanting it for quite some time.

  2. Volume 4A was only released this year and I posted this photo in 2008. For book recommendations: what are you interested in?
