Re:What book have you reread the most? on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @07:54AM (#7743210)
I've read and re-read Daily Rituals, which reveals the bizarre working habits of famous inventors like Tesla and Frederik Chopin. How I Write: The Secret Lives of Authors, is another one I've revisited numerous time.

I mentioned the books in this post (and you'll find links to the books there as well): http://cbpowerandindustrial.wordpress.com/2014/05/09/work-ri...

Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your obsession on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @07:49AM (#7743191)
Famous inventors like Tesla and Frederik Chopin had quite bizarre working habits[1] that became part of their mythos, so go ahead and embrace your obsession as much as possible - without harming your relationships and losing your humanity.

I appreciate your comment and I agree whole-heartedly on the animal issue.

One thing I'd like to add. Some major religions view animals as ordained by God for the use of mankind. I hope in the future that the rights of animals are acknowledged and enforced, but assuredly there will be people who will never apologize for eating meat, even when under public condemnation.

Nicely stated. I don't have enough karma to even upvote you, so I'll commend you instead.
Have you heard of Snap? With this app, you can download and install any Android app from Google Play as easy as native BlackBerry apps, and with no sideloading.

Mint, Netflix, any Android app you want can run on BB10 now. That along with everything in BlackBerry World. Plus, you get it on the awesome BB10 OS. Snap is a game changer.
