#12"Einstein's Fridge" was great to learn about the history and development of thermodynamics at a fairly high level.
"Good Inside" on becoming a better parent was also great and taught me a lot.
"Every Tool's a Hammer" on becoming a better maker.
"Crafting Interpreters" on learning about and building compilers.
All were really great reads.

#15"Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson was pretty good. Lessons from the book helped me make progress towards my bigger goals every day. You don't need to read the entire book to get value.

Enjoy this piece and some of the themes in it, weird DTC brands, authenticity, manufacturing culture. It seems to make sense of the current moment we live in.

#19I re-read The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson; it represents what I love about Sci-Fi: Interesting ideas on the edge of plausibility; a speculative society based on their consequences; a clever story and setting. Leaves me with a "Could be build that?" feeling.
It's inspiring one my current side-projects; a molecular and protein modeler/simulation.
