“Oh, I’ve had such a curious dream! said Alice. And she told her sister, as well as she could remember… her sister kissed her, and said “It was a curious dream, dear, certainly; but now run in to your tea; it’s getting late. So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as [...]

Posts by Aaron (1) I know several people have written about this book (Code) already. I started and stopped several of the books on this list, but this one is simply amazing. You should all definitely READ THIS BOOK. It breaks down how code (and computers) work in a very simple and easy to understand way. Each chapter builds [...] Posts by Louise Foo (1)
I am sure that people that have been working with color detection, will agree with Josef Albers’ statement that “Color is the most relative medium in art” Since color is reflected light, and because the light is ever changing in a room, and because the reflected light is affected by other sources of [...] Posts by rtb288 (1) I’ve seen that two other people have already written about this book (one being my applications partner, which makes this post clearly very late but I wanted to finish the book), and though they’ve written wonderful things about the subject, I wanted to update what they’ve said with a concept that I took from the [...] Posts by Tom "Arthur" (1) I also read Donald A.

In the past, whenever I found myself stuck trying to get a piece of equipment to work, I repeated [...] Posts by mam1286 (1) I purposely did not read Adam’s post before writing mine, so apologies for anything repeated. I wanted to preserve my ideas about the book while writing. Before I vent my frustration at the oversights of this book, I’ll give you a fairly unbiased summary of Barabasi’s book. Linked gives readers a detailed account [...] Posts by ms6699 (1) Posts by wc876 (1) By Will Canine I read Jane Jacob’s Life and Death of Great American Cities.
