The best reading breakthrough I had was to eliminate my need to complete a book.

If I've lost the plot, I throw the book away. If I've got the advice author's gist, I move on.

It's allowed me to enjoy reading fiction again, get to the books I need in the moment, and move faster through my reading list.

Streak CRM, fantastic if on G Suite.

We've done XML conversion projects for around 5,000 magazine titles. It's not an easy process to get high fidelity and preserve formatting.

Explains the large number of hackathons we have these days: "...a ruler who wanted to adopt the longbow had to create and enforce a culture of archery through tournaments, financial incentives, and laws supporting longbow use to ensure sufficient numbers of archers."

Has anyone grabbed Gutenberg novels in the past and indexed all the proper names and common nouns? I'd love to have a Madlib-like generator for The [Count] of [Monte Cristo].

If you could update the references, who's doing it right today?
