Splurging on books
I didn't get off work in time to make it over to MacDocs to buy a Macintosh laptop... so I splurged on some books instead (for the first time in months :-).
Here's what I got (in alphabetical order):
- 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated
- Art of Prolog, The: Advanced Programming Techniques (2nd Ed.)
- Concepts, Techniques, and Methods of Computer Programming
- Games and Decisions: Introduction and Crtical Survey
- Haskell School of Expression, The: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia
- Head First EJB
- Head First Servlets & JSP
- How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing
- Little Schemer, The (4th Ed.)
- Mastering BEA WebLogic Server: Best Pracitces for Building and Deploying J2EE Applications
- Programming Ruby
- Purely Functional Data Structures
- Seasoned Schemer, The
- WebLogic: The Definitive Guide
I figure all these books (many which are perennially recommended at Lambda the Ultimate) should keep me busy through at least the end of the summer... or maybe even Christmas.
I also ordered one DVD: I Love Lucy — The Complete Third Season.

Yikes, Michael! That's a lot of books. For that price you could have purchased the entire _Art of Computer Programming_ series, though I suspect you'll find what you bought imminently more practical at work.
