Read from September – October 2008.

This is my second Lewis book, though it is his first.  It is a great story of his first career as a stock broker in the 1980s.  It showcases some of the problems with the profession while talking about some of the merits of it as well.  I enjoyed reading this book since it shares the same writing style as “Moneyball”.  Lewis makes a topic that I am not particularly interested in come alive through the stories he tells of his experience.

This is a fun read, especially since the country is heading into a recession.

• Finally making some noticeable progress on my wordpress client. The MVC and unit-tests are coming together, just need more time. Alas. #
• Just remembering how good it is to listen to music in the morning. Weeks of NPR in the morning had made me forget. Soothes the savage beast #
• Can’t wait for the VP debates today. Or rather the impending train wreck for Palin. Can Tina Fey just do the debate instead? #
• @thorpus I did (rajatarya.com) – agree it was super easy. Of course nobody reads my blog but that is another problem altogether. #
• Day of travel over now vacation can begin. Once I get out of the airport. #
• If Palin does nothing other than get young people so enraged at her idiocy to become politically active then her contribution is worth it. #
