Nothing particularly remarkable about this review. I was hoping for more insight into the cultural impact of 911. Emphasis has been on the political so far which is well known.

Challenged by the balance of goal oriented and exploratory actions.

Final chapter, taking the course too!

Into Aristotle now. Really fun read.

I used to feel pretty secure in my views of social justice. Not anymore.

Enjoying this book again after being away for a while. The matching of skills to challenges is still the most memorable bit but the next chapter seems to promise more usable stuff.

Definitely focused the problems of work in a big organization. Probably enjoying the essays the most.

There is a bit of a "how to survive in a big company vibe" at this point. Still, very entertaining read so far.

I hadn't really thought of this as a self-help book but understand that categorization by other readers. The essay by Tom Preston-Werner was great: How I Turned Down $300k from Microsoft to Go Full-Time on GiHub.

Concepts are starting to gel a little now. Great graphic opposing challenge and skill. If you want optimal experiences then choosing the right challenge is important. Accurately assessing your skills is important by the same token.

Concepts aren't gelling for me yet but a good start.

Started sections on natural language processing in preparation for @nlp_class (if it ever starts). Still hope to work through this book end-to-end using @ai_class syllabus as a guide.

The Geometers have landed. Orolo is going to introduce himself. Great book. Looking forward to finishing it on vacation next week.

Using ai-class.com as a guide through this huge book. Currently in Planning chapters.

Just scratching the surface of this one and plan to cherry-pick. Fascinating subject, tempting to over use.

Into Peregrin now. Still intrigued but only getting time to read on the bus.
