“ I’m a big fan of the NMR genre, but this book was really just phoned in. I mean, “Chemical Shifts of P-31 Compounds” had me on the edge of my seat, and “Hyperfine Coupling Constants of the Pnictogens” had a little something for everybody.

“ I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.

“ Mac OS X Snow Leopard cuts in half the launch-time overhead of starting the Objective-C runtime, and simultaneously saves a few hundred KB of memory per app. This comes for free to every app, courtesy of one of the few pieces of Mac OS X that lives below even the Objective-C runtime: dyld.
