I just read Isaac Asimov’s first book, Foundation. I was not familiar with his work, and I find I am loving it. His writing style is very nice, in just 230 pages, he covers over 300 years of history. The book delves deeply into details when needed, and skips the boring bits quickly. I was dismayed at the end, because there was nothing more to read. I must have the more. Lucky for me there are several sequels. Also the man wrote about 500 books, so I feel that my pocket-book frenzy is heating up again. Last time that happened was back in the late 90’s, and I am left with about 25 Star Wars books and 10 Wheel of Time books. I regret nothing, but my economy might, a little.
The book was a birthday gift to me from my officially-cousin and unofficially-brother Vlad, and I must say that he hit the bulls-eye. Thanks Vladskie!
He also gave me another book, Martian Time-Slip by Philip K. Dick, I plan on starting it in a few days.
Also I am impatiently waiting for the arrival of a dozen books I ordered on amazon. It’s mostly programming books and japanese study books, to the value of $400 green ones… I really let loose on those books, and I had to do some major sorting there too before I could get under my planned 400 dollar mark… heh
A few days after I placed the order, I realised that for 400 bucks I could by an iPod, or a Palm Tungsten T, or a new nice phone, or 50% of a projector, or some other piece of technology. While I regret nothing (I like books), it did kinda tug at me for a little while.

Dude!
I didnt found any other way to contact you, just erase this message when youve read it.
Im currently at the Architecture School on Östermalmsgatan 26. I took my laptop with me today which has a wireless network connection. This morning when trying to reach the Net I found angelhill.net in in the avaliable wireless network properies. It seems that I can connect to the Net through your internet service. Maybe you should protect it somehow. That is if it is your internet service.
regards.

Hey John!
Thanks for letting me know, however I opened the network on purpose, check out this article: http://angelhill.net/life/archives/000093.html
So feel free to surf on it if you want, of course, if you go to KTH arkitekt, you should probably have access to their network.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by
