An attempt to keep track of some of what goes into my head.

You may also be interested in my LibraryThing collection, which is largely the same information in a more Web 2.0 form.
Books that have caught my interest, but that I don't have a copy of yet. If you have a copy lying around, I'd love to borrow it...
About the people who make dictionaries.
Short story collection.
About MUDs and their descendants.
About how language affects thought.
The first book was great, but I can't bring myself to spend that much money on short books. Must get a library card. Hmm... or borrow copies from friends with kids...
What's with all of the Amazon.com links? Have I sold out? Is my once-pristine and ad-free webspace now just another fishmongery? Well, yes. Money talks, after all. On a whim, I joined the Amazon Associates program. If you click those links and end up buying one of these books, I get a cut. I expect that, over time, this will translate into dozens of cents of profit for me. Amazon has done something very interesting by exposing their catalog to outside searches (and the folks behind the Net::Amazon perl module have made it quite easy to make use of that). I figure that, since they're providing the cover art for all of these books in an easy-to-use form, the least I can do is link back to them.
