A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. That is why I read books.

Tyrion Lannister (via wilwheaton)

“Books […] keep the mind from scratching itself raw.”

David Mitchell

That is my favorite ‘books r good’ quote, ever.

Watching the entire series (in HD on Netflix Instant PS3) was a really smart idea.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer set to the score of Inception: seamless and awesome.

First they all fought each other. Then they had to organize against the mysterious forces of nature outside. Then they all fought each other. Then the Others showed up from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then they kinda all teamed up against the people in the rest of the plane who came from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then everybody that was left teamed up against a crazy guy in a boat who came from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then there were two groups of people fighting with each other, one group off the island and one group in the past, while still pretending to happily fit in among their relative outsiders. Then things went bad and they all fought each other openly. Then they slowly regrouped and fought each other a little, but mostly just stood together against the forces outside. Finally everybody was in one place and they decided fight together against the big evil monster who came from outside, and we just learned this whole thing started when two guys, standing together against outside forces, decided to fight each other because of the way their mother decided to fight against the outside forces to teach them to stand together. So we’re thinking that this week, there’s either going to be one last round of all fighting each other or maybe everyone will decide to stand against a previously unknown outside force, which they will then have to all join together to fight. Should be a good one, right?

I just learned this about 90 seconds ago and it’s already changed my life.

Wow.  That’s awesome.  Thank you, Kevin.

Cool. Ever watched SAF on the keyboard with the shortcuts? It’s like Keith Jarrett on the piano.

I use this all the time, especially to bounce between open emails.  Another fun one is  + a number, to go to that tab in firefox.  For instance +1 goes to your second tab, +4 goes to your fourth. It makes having multiple tabs open much easier to work with, since I can just glance up and go direct to that tab without having to use the mouse.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE? Seriously, I have always hated having multiple windows from one app open because switching back and forth was such a pain.
My life just changed forever.

Thesaurus Rex
Ever wonder how people really talked in the 1800s, or 1500s, or earlier?
You can stop building the time machine. Such questions are now easier to answer than ever before, with the publication—after 44 years of work—of the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary. At almost 4,000 pages and about 800,000 meanings, this mind-boggling reference work is the biggest thesaurus ever and the world’s first historical thesaurus: It takes the enormity of the OED and arranges it thematically and chronologically. A glance at any page is a look at language evolution from Old English to the present, and it’s no less startling and amazing than watching sea slime slowly morph into monkeys and Neanderthals.
