My latest read...

So I was raiding the bargain bin at Books, Inc. (you can find some really good stuff in there)and I came across a book called "Scientific American's The Big Idea". It contains the best (and the most ludicrous) discoveries, inventions, theories, etc. made in the last 150 years that were featured in "Scientific American". Pretty interesting stuff: Alfred Nobel invented nitro-glycerin and dynamite. The first Ferris Wheel could carry 1,440 people at one time. The sweetening agent, saccharin, is made from coal tar and is 230 times sweeter than cane sugar.
Also started "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". So far so good. Other than reading, I haven't been doing a whole lot. Attempting to find a new job. It sucks. This weekend John and I are planning to attend the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade to show our support. I'm sure my family wouldn't approve but I guess that's the way it goes. I can't wait! I think it will be a lot of fun.
