learn stuff

i’ve been using safaribooksonline.com for several months, and i’m still impressed. it gives me access to all the current tech books (photoshop, web dev, programming, networking….), and they’re searchable. i never lose them, and it looks like i’m working. the basic starter package is more than enough access for me at $10/mo for 5 books at a time.

i went to au bon pain for coffee and started to explain that i like their coffee, but i hate to use a disposable cup/lid/cardboard-insulator for every cup i buy and that i’d like to be able to bring my own mug and just pay for a large. the employee smiled and said i “ask too hard. it’s easy.” heh, ok. here’s your buck.25. then i burnt my tongue.
