* More [Bones][] tests from [TAOP][].
* Started cleaning up my vector math stuff from Coding Math. Might make it into
its own little library so I can use it in other things.

+* Traveling around Iceland with a friend who was visiting.
+* Read [Hillbilly Elegy][] after reading [this interview][Hillbilly Elegy
+ Interview]. It was a really interesting book. You should read it if you want
+ to understand how what's happening in the US could possibly be happening.
+ Luckily the book doesn't strike **too** close to home for me, but growing up
+ in rural Pennsylvania I definitely saw bits and pieces of what he describes.
+* Read the [Lisp Hackers][] book.
+* Finished reading [Engines of Logic][]. It was interesting, but kind of
+ a weird mix. I expected a basic pop science book about the history of logic
+ and computing, and for the most part that's what it was, but it was written by
+ a mathematician and has some really strangely-explained examples of particular
+ mathematical concepts that were really hard to follow. For example: I already
+ understood Cantor's [diagonalization][] argument before reading the book, but
+ I still found it hard to follow the author's explanation of it. The author
+ seems to be trying to "dumb down" the explanations but does it in a way that
+ makes it harder to grasp overall.
