It’s time to clear out some of the backlog of interesting things I’ve read or seen recently. Enjoy!
- I’m not sure I agree with the always-awesome Becky Furuta in this post about hypothetically trading diabetes and its benefits for not having it, but it’s certainly worth thinking about.
- And Céline provides even more food for thought concerning a possible benefit of diabetes in “Moderate Excess”, which rings true, no matter how much I hate to admit it.
- Best two-minute
Internetshort film of all time? Peut-être. - Where are the best places for cats to sleep? Let Pusheen show you.
- The best pastries in Paris. I want to eat them all.
- Speaking of food, this article from the American College of Sports Medicine provides lots of details about the current research on nutrition and athletic performance. (Diabetes not required.)
- Uncle Bob Martin on why software estimation is so hard. (Tip: Try to identify procedural/functional units and estimate those.)
- The 2nd edition of Nicolai Josuttis’s The C++ Standard Library, covering C++11, is here. Scott Meyers reviewed it, and I bought my copy. Hey, it’s my day-job.
What are you reading? Leave a link or two in the comments. (Any more than two and you’ll get trapped in the spam trap. Sorry.)
I’m reading two books right now… “Radical” by David Platt and “Love Does” by Bob Goff. Platt is a preacher in Birmingham and the book is about living life straight from the Bible. It’s fantastic. Goff is a lawyer who writes about how Love isn’t something, love does something. It just does. I love it. It’s so true. As far as blogs go, I read a gazillion. As far as news, I’m glued to what’s happening with newspapers through Advance and Newhouse (owners of three papers here recently cut back).
And you… always reading you.
