NBA Jam

Cover of the book NBA Jam by Reyan Ali. It has a picture of a basketball on fire on lightly orange field. Not sure what to expect of this book. I quite liked the other Boss Fights books that I read, so hopefully even though I have no feelings about this game whatsoever I'll like reading this one too.

Getting Things Done

Cover of the book Getting Things Done by David Allen with the text "Getting Things Done: the art of stress-free-productivity from the New York Times bestselling author David Allen; A brand new edition for 2015." And a picture of David Allen smiling. Great book about organizing the things that you need / want to do. I've been trying to use this method for a long time and finally decided to go to the source material. I'm glad I did. I feel like over all of the blog posts that I read and tips that I'd heard about how GTD actually works, there was a lot that was left out from this book. And I'm sure I've already forgotten a great deal about what's in this book and I expect I'll want to come back to it later, but even the things I have read I think will help me a great deal in organizing my life and feeling like I've done something the day.

Time Management for System Administrators

Cover of the book Time Management for System Administrators by Thomas A. Limoncelli. It has a picture of a wolverine sitting on top of the word “Time”. Recommended to me by a friend because they feel that the Cycle System described in this book will help me deal with my daily tasks a lot better.

Moving Pictures

Cover of the book Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett. The sky is blue, there is sand on the ground, probably it's a beach. There is a troll made of rock lying on the ground looking up angrily. There is a blond, voluptuous, scantily-clad woman sitting on top of the Troll. Just above her there is a man holding a sword through her hair. There is a chef standing behind them, and there are hotdogs flying in the air, seemingly using the buns as wings. To the right of the man with the sword there is someone holding a video camera with a crank on it. They hold on to the crank and look panicked. Behind the camera man there is another person in wizard's robes shouting through a megaphone. Behind the man with the sword there is a dusty and large Oscar trophy statue. The next book in the Discworld series.

The Swords of Haven

Cover of the book The Swords of Haven. A Hawk & Fisher omnibus. There is a mostly obscured face of a man with many scars and a short beard. And there is the face of a woman looking focused while holding a sword. I got this book in one of several Humble Bundles that I bought that I'm now trying to catch up with.

WebGL Programming Guide

Cover of the book WebGL Programming Guide by Kouichi Matsuda and Rodger Lea. It has a picture of a room with some spheres in it. The biggest sphere is reflective and shows more spheres, and a large window. I've tried reading this book several times and it's quite intimidating to me. There's a lot of math involved and I know nothing about 3D rendering or rendering programming. It's an area that interests me, however, and a technology that I find interesting.

The book is a bit old by now, and the JavaScript used in it shows it, but I hope the information in it is still useful and will teach me something.
