Tech Book Sharing Site

Someone needs to come up with a technology focused book sharing site. I'm tired of buying a $80 technical book, read some/most/all of it and then rarely pick it up again. I know in some cases these books are available at your local library, but I rarely find any of the technical books that I want to read at my local library or any of it's affiliated libraries.

Someone has to have the time/energey to put into this. As long as the books are there, I'd even pay a small fee per month or transaction just to use the site.

The good with the bad

Well, yesterday was the funeral for my grandmother. She was 94 years old when she died on New Years day. While yesterday was not a happy day, it did make me realize that I was definitely luckier then a lot of people.

There are many of our loved ones that are taken from us without warning. Whether it's an accident or natural cause, we don't have the opportunity to see or speak with them before they are gone. I was lucky enough to have seen my grandmother one last time on Christmas day and to tell her that I love her.

On a related note, while I was writing this post I was reminded of a blog post of one of my friends (written before I knew her). Please give it a read when you get a moment http://naanad.info/. The theme of the post is something that I've heard from multiple people before, but worth repeating.

You will be missed

Yesterday I got the call from my father that my grandmother passed away. All I can say right now is that I (and the rest of her family) will miss her.
