I thought it was only crocodiles, but apparently sharks are a part of NYC Subway ecosystem.

I have 8 big Ikea Billy bookshelves (and one small one in the bathroom) all full. Since I don't do Microsoft stuff any longer, I freed up a sweet chunk of shelf space by throwing these out (well, actually putting into the recycle pile):

I'd give them away, but they are absolutely useless.

In my career I spent a good deal of time working overnight, pulling 12, 24, and even 36 hour coding sprints. You can cram a couple of weeks of work into 36 hours. This is not unusual or heroic at all - most programmers I know routinely work crazy hours.

Because of this it is very important to have a couch for naps in the office. At my current job there are no cornerner offices. Every corner of our parallelogram-shaped building is either inside a conference room or set aside for a small meeting space. One of them is where "my" couch is. Whenever I'm working off-hours and stuck, I go there to take a nap. Just like Don Draper in "Mad Men", I almost always wake up from the nap with an idea of how to solve the problem.

Recently there was a some kind of commercial shoot at the office, and I've been sent this photo. There he is, Doctor House, MD, on my couch!

Actually, I only recently started watching House, having being unable to turn off disbelief of so many doctors spending so much time on patients. I did not realize that it was a neat little pun on Sherlock Holmes, complete with drugs, loyal sidekick, and even very sexy Mrs. Hudson. Now I have 4 seasons to watch.
