  • AboutThis is the somewhat bookish blog of Ian Stewart. Not the famous mathematician, rock musician, or playwright, but the husband, father, designer, and reader of way too many books. Here you will find his musings on the whole range of his interests; from the highest of edifying heights to the basest vanities. You may find something funny in all of this.

  • Lifehacker the book

    Geek that I am, I’m a huge fan of lifehacker. It’s sort of the Hints from Heloise for my generation. Anyways, Gina Trapani, Queen of the Lifehackers, is now the author of Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbo-Charge Your Day. But – but – but the whole table of contents, with all 88 hacks, are […]

  • Somewhat Scot, what else should I post?

    It’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve got duties. You know, Scottish heritage duties. It’s important — trust me. Auld Lang Syne Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a cup o’ […]

  • Looks aren't everything

    I’ve been fiddling around with my template. It’s tough being a graphic designer that has zero web design skills. I feel so – s0 – so helpless! I almost broke my brain adding that third column. I think it looks a little too much like a ‘guy’ website. Muy macho, you know? Like, sci-fi, classics, […]

  • Philip K. Dick is not lame. Strange, maybe.

    I finally saw A Scanner Darkly last week and was mightily disappointed at how lame it was. Although, just like the book, it’s saved by it’s ending. Philip K. Dick has been floating around in my head recently. What with Elliot putting The Man in the High Castle on his favorites list, me having it […]

  • My Five Favourite Books, 2006

    I didn’t do a lot of reading for pleasure in 2006. I blame the first year of EFM with it’s insane reading demands for this. That, and the time taken up reading my favourite book this year (maybe of any year), in a year with little time for reading. Surprisingly, I read a lot of […]

  • The Man Who is Chesterton

    I may have to read The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare (affiliate Link) again after reading Anne Perry’s short article on G.K. Chesterton’s classic. She refers to that confusing conundrum of a book as “food, armor, and a compass for the soul”. How many authors get to have that said about them? Too few. […]

  • Why Do I Do This To Myself?

    Well, here, in all it’s raging glory, is The Stack. I do this to myself every year around the holidays. Do all anxious readers do this to themselves? I can’t help it. Collector mentality probably plays into this sickness of mine. I just like seeing them stacked up. I lie to myself, I think, and […]
