What are you reading?

I’m reading three books: Collapse by Jared Diamond, The Righteous Mind why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion by jonathan Haidt, and (drum roll) Are YOU Smart Enough to Work at Google by William Poundstone.  Jim suggested it would be better if William’s last name were Poundsand. I agree!

Which book I pick up in the evening is pretty random.  Collapse is dry but very informative: why did the Anasazi or Mayan Civilizations collapse? This book explains why with very thorough documentation.   The righteous mind presents the argument that we make decisions based on intuitive/emotional reason then use rational reasoning to justify our choice. (at least that’s where the book looks to be going).  “Smart Enough is a funny read.  Google is notorious for their interview process with some outlandish questions thrown at interviewees.  I have no interest in working for Google and I am not boning up on “how to get hired at Google”. This is more a fun read for the absurdity of it all.

So what are YOU reading?

    Hi there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your
    blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads
    a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

      Sure. I’m using GoDaddy hosting which has very competitive pricing. WorldPress (blog) is one of a number of apps available on GoDaddy.
      Hope this helps.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your blog.
    It appears as if some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if
    this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my web
    browser because I’ve had this happen before. Appreciate
    it

    I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
    A handful of my blog audience have complained about my site
    not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

      I use WordPress which has solved the search engine compatibility problem. Mobile devices are still a problem.

      I used a pre-canned WordPress theme, but the design of the first page and pictures is my own.

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
    checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get
    several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me
    from that service? Bless you!
