So I'm reading this book that my girlfriend (Danielle) recommended to me. It's called Timeline, by Michael Crichton. So far it's a pretty interesting book. It's about the discovery and use of quantum physics and how twice in our history some scientists have believed that we were edging close to the discovery of most of the basic concepts of physics. All that remained were some finishing touches. However, more discoveries are made and their conclusions proved false. The book takes place after the potential of quantum physics has been discovered and is being used by a single corporation; which is unbeknownst to the public.

Here's a quote:

It was at TechGate that Doniger's harsh management style became famous. During meetings with his scientists, he'd sit in the corner, tipped precariously back in his chair, firing off questions. "What about this?" "Why aren't you doing that?" "What's the reason for this?" If the answer satisfied him, he'd say, "Maybe...." That was the highest praise anyone ever got from Doniger. But if he didn't like the answer - and he usually didn't - he'd snarl, "Are you brain-dead" "Do you aspire to be an idiot?" "Do you want to die stupid?" "You're not even a half-wit." When really annoyed he threw pencils and notebooks, and screamed, "A**holes! You're all f****** a**holes!"

This had me laughing pretty hard. It's not a bad book so far. I'll let you know how well I like it when I get a little further than page 25.

(Also, I figured how to get Live Writer to stop messing with my code. It still screws up my indentations in my code, but other than that it leaves it alone now :) Furthermore, I'm using Microsoft Expression Web to do my editing so everything will now be XHTML 1.0 valid)
