disintermediating technical publishers part two
immediately after i wrote
"disintermediating technical publishers"
, i thought about how i had failed to stress that i was primarily
writing about the reference books as epitomized by
the camel book
, and that the future for
oreilly
lay in the
hacks series
and their
pogue press offerings, which have attracted my attention and dollars lately.
.
kellan
comes
to a similar conclusion
and makes an astute observation about the
hacks series
:
"The Hacks books are short, relevant, and fun. They build on the what I consider to be the best O'Reilly book ever, the Perl Cookbook, but corrected for the accelerated, networked world we live in."

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
