Larry Wall : State of the Onion
"Post-Apocalyptic Survival with Perl" (mp3)
Michael Lewis : Boom Box
"The means of consumption, not the means of production, are the engine of modern economic life. The consumer's neurons will be measured and priced only if the consumer wants his neurons to be measured and priced, because their precise measurement enables others to give him exactly what he wants. If this is a conspiracy, it's a whole new kind of conspiracy. The consumer must conspire against himself." I'm going to turn my computer off now and continue enjoying the weekend.
Thomas Linden : Note
"is a small console program written in perl, which allows you to manage notes similar to programs like "knotes" from commandline. Note can use different database-backends for notes-storage." Searchable, scriptable, colour-coded and "tree" views. This is what I've been waiting for; cool.
