Welcome to My Bookshelf

Several hundred books line the walls of my living room.  Most are non-fiction and about 2/3 of them come from the UVa Library; the rest I own.  Of course, I can't be reading all of them at once.  (But most of them are reference books anyway, so they're not really meant to be read cover to cover.)

At any given time, I'm focusing on a handful of the books for reading and studying.

To easily show you which ones I'm reading, I added a page to my site called Bookshelf.  Check it out for pictures of my current reading list.  "Bookshelf" is one of the tabs near the top of this page.

Proud New Parent of a Dot Com Address

I registered my first ever domain name today!  It's 2011, I figure.  About time I have my own dot com.  But I think buying one always seemed like such a big deal...expensive or a hassle or just too hard to do for some goblin of a reason that refused to ever explicitly show itself.

After a decade of feet dragging, it turns out it only takes 15 minutes and costs less than $10/year.  Less than a fancy lunch sandwich/year.  Or cut out two Starbucks coffees?  Or one movie in theaters?  Or one shirt that's on sale?  You get the point--it's cheap!

Stay tuned for the details about my new site--what the content will be and when the site will launch!
