My secondary drive on my PC died again, 1tb hdd. I had it backed up and the cost of hdd's is so cheap I don't really care, but this is the second HDD that has died on this PC since I built it 2 years ago. Maybe just bad luck but it seems really odd, never had a PC chew through hard drives like this before. I don't even use it much.

Michigan looks like the read deal. Scary.

I just got a hardcore math textbook and the author put a dedication in the beginning:
To my loving wife, who read this entire book except for the math parts.

Put up all our Christmas stuff today. Christmas is tacky but my wife loves it so much I can't help but absorb her joy for it
I read technical manuals for fun, which I guess makes me a weirdo. Everybody has their "thing" I guess.
I'm actively reading with pencil and paper, just like I did back in school, learning new things. Sometimes I review old stuff or get other books on topics I already know. In my opinion, if you have only one book on a particular topic that you're "supposed to know" in your area of expertise, then you could be missing out on something that another author might cover, or another author could cover better, if it's information you learned in another author's book. I've got a pretty big personal library. I like to have at least three books on the various topics that I'm "supposed to know" as a mathematician. On stuff I really enjoy, I tend to have more. I have six Differential Equations books, and believe it or not, they're not all the same (differential equations is a pretty active area of research), whereas I have three Calculus books, and they pretty much say the same thing between all three of them (Calculus hasn't changed in over 200 years), although they present things differently in their layouts. I also have Physics books, various types of engineering books, and a bunch of computer programming books, mostly in the C family of languages (C, C++, C#), although I do dabble in Python and R as well.
Believe it or not, I have a bunch of investing/trading books, except they all seem to say the same thing, if they're any good.

Why am I looking at this stuff? I don't need it, and I don't really need to spend anymore money.
