Book Store Haul 2020!

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but since I dropped a pretty penny on several books, I thought this would be a fun thing to blog about.

Am I a software engineer still? Do I still like thinking about the process in software development? Did I just buy some books on aspects of software development that I won’t ever get to apply in my software development? I guess these four books answers in the affirmative.

At work, I’ve been shoveled into the not-architect group within our group. That’s okay. I don’t like how they play over there anyway, but I still like to think about things. I will try to read these books and apply them to my work life.

Nogizaka46 Saito Asuka, Umezawa Minami, and Yamashita Mizuki going to star in the live adaptation of the hit anime, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken. I think the anime nerds are against it as the anime is just showing now. Plus, when they find out it’s idols, they’ll be really up in arms.

Me. I love ’em, so I can’t wait.

Twenty-four singles and for each they change their uniform. These are just their everyday garb. They also have a costume for when they perform the songs from that single.

I like the later ones than the earlier ones. I’m partial to the winter ones with stockings in place of socks. I like the ones with jackets and vests. The skirt length has gotten longer,

Anyhow, go check out the youngest in Nogizaka as she wears all the 24 uniforms. There’s even a bonus few more representing each successive generation.

I’m hoping you are reading this in your RSS reader of choice. I especially hope, if you’re on a Mac, that you’re reading this in the re-release of NetNewsWire. It was an old RSS reader for the Mac back during the early 00’s when blogging was fun. It’s back in the late teens because blogging is still fun. Go, download it now, if you want a better RSS reader. Their iOS app is forthcoming.
