More presents for past events
Jan. 8th, 2006 09:32 pmI have yet another word book that arrived from Dev. She sent me a New Words Dictionary. I, of course, went through it looking for both the familiar and the unfamiliar. I found 'connection machine' which is a computer with massive parallel processing capability.
I looked up and said "they don't cite the original Connection Machine!"
****
Frank McCourt (not the newish owner of the Dodgers (aka Red Sox west) - the author of Angela' Ashes) wrote a paean to teaching called 'Teacher Man.' I have not started it yet, but am looking forward to it.
And a good friend, Apa, wrote DSM IV, TR. This is a reworking of a classic tale of instability and the need to obsessively categorize it. In many ways, it is autobiographical, though Apa denies it vociferously. There is already a line to borrow it when I am done with it. I hear a sequel is due out soonish but that rights to the original as a movie have not been sold.
