Daily Thoughts 9/19/2011

This morning on the train to work, I finished reading The Steve Jobs Way.  There were some very interesting things said about computers.  For example, the author contends that it is not possible to separate the design of hardware and software for computers;  they need to work together.

I checked the displays and printed up some fliers for the Friends of the Mount Vernon Public Library meeting this evening which is at 6:30 p.m.

I spent some time preparing an order for test books and also spent some more time on Lynda.com learning about InDesign and Drupal. 

Random House stopped distributing a paper catalog and now has a digital catalog only.  This is increasingly happening.  It is much easier to use digital catalogs to find books.
