Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
I really enjoyed Anathem, so I went back and tried Quicksilver again. But I just can't get past the first 200 pages or so. I find it ok but not worth the time it would take to go thru the three (extremely long) volumes of the Baroque Cycle.
Interface sounds closer to Cryptonomicon and Anathem so I'll give it a try. Thanks!
