Starting Forth by Leo Brodie arrived

(download)

I found a nice used copy of Leo Brodie's "Starting Forth" that used to be part of the "U.S. Air Force Weapons Laboratory Technical Library". It's not mint condition like the one that got lost at Bruce's house but still nice.

Books just unpacked: Done!

It's the last day of the year and I'm finally done unpacking all the books and other stuff we shipped from Germany. To celebrate that I've created a slideshow of the last 81 books I unpacked. Enjoy!

Update:

Youtube sent me a notice stating: "Your video may have content that is owned or licensed by IODA."

Though I'm quite sure IODA does not own the license to the recordings used, I changed to CC licensed music by the Lucky 7s and uploaded to Posterous instead.
