Scattershot update

I finished The Botany of Desire today, while still in Manhattan. Needed something to read on the way home, so I stopped in at Barnes & Noble, and discovered that the man-portable edition of Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver is out! Woohoo! So now I’m only, what, like a year behind every other computer nerd in the world.

Some new comics on my check-regularly list:
It’s About Girls by William G
Sordid City Blues by Charles Schneeflock Snow
Questionable Content by J Jacques

Stopped off at The Art Store after work. Damn, that Faber-Castell mechanical pencil (bottom item, #138401) felt nice in my hand. Too bad it takes 0.7mm leads instead of 0.5mm.

I cheated and bought the e-books of both Quicksilver and The Confusion. Very much man-portable that way.
