Humble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors
On my list of books to buy (and read!) is Humble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors by Matt Parker.
Let Over Lambda
I am not yet ready for Let Over Lambda, but one day I will be.
TI MSP430

Learning Kanji
I mentioned to a friend that I thought it was a romantic idea to learn Kanji, and I would very much like to, but I just don’t have time. My friend recommended the Genki Textbook.

More books!
I’ve got a kickass collection of old engineering books:
The Manual: A Philosopher’s Guide to Life

LibreOffice 7.3 API Documentation

Some light reading…
Gonna pump this tome:
