two things
I did two things today that I should have done long ago.
First, I went downtown to the public library and got a library card. It seems odd that it took me this long, but having access to the university library probably explains this. My office was in the basement of the library for several years, and when I did move to another building I still walked past the library at least twice a day. There is a distinct smell associated with them that for some unknown reason I enjoy. One thing I always enjoy doing in any library or bookstore is looking over the tech book section. It’s interesting to see the choices that have been made. Which technologies they cover and even which books and publishers they tend to carry or display more prominently.
Second, I went to the Buddy Holly Center. This one’s just inexcusable. I really enjoyed this, there is some great stuff down there. It’s easy to forget how brief yet how influential the man was. It’s pretty cool how many big names come up in the story of Buddy Holly. In short, if you’re in Lubbock and haven’t been, go.
