Ok, so I got to get out of the office a little bit today. I headed over (on foot style) to the Nordstroms over by whatever …Pioneer Square? The square downtown that’s always surrounded by an interesting mix of crazy homeless beggars, overly affluent midday shoppers, and 8-5 type folks on their lunch breaks. So, [...]

Wow, 2 books in one month? Crazy you say? Yes, yes it is. I picked this one up in a fit of desperation because it sounded moderately interesting.

So, over the last two weeks, I finally had time to read a book. Yay for lunchbreaks. The book was Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist. Not much time to comment, and honestly my brain has probably forgotten most of it by now but I’ll say that it’s a great sort of layman’s intro reader to [...]
