Whenever I think of my favorite books, I always come up with this short list. Then I wonder, are these still my favorite books? I probably haven’t read some of these for years and who knows what I was thinking about when I read some of them.

I’ve fooled around and hankey-pankeyed with lisps for years. I’ve even wrote a toy lisp dialect. I’ve also gotten dirty with Ruby.

Btw, Jekyll v3.0 is leaps and bounds better than v2.x. Unfortunately, v3.0 is still in beta. ↩

Here’s some things I read this week.
