Hey, I know there's a few Neil Stephenson fans in here, so just thought I'd mention it. I'm vising my Grandmother in the USA, and found a copy of Anathem at the airport bookstore - it's not out in Canada yet. I don't want to spoil the fun, but let's just say there's some neat stuff in there that a lot of you will enjoy. Good imagery!
Now I have to go and find a body harness to carry around all my tools. Just having a leatherman isn't cool enough anymore.
