Starting in July, I'll have access to American libraries and bookstores again. Let's use the comments as a scratchpad to make note of books I've been meaning to read.
I discovered Midwest Surplus and Electronics at complex-adaptive. Also recommended is the Como Recycling Facility.
NewBooks looks like a good resource for keeping tabs on the SciEng library.
A new batch of class blogs seems to have cropped up in late May, I can see from the latest-posts page. At least one class seems to involve creating a personal blog. I'm curious to know which one.
