			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got the first bunch of gifts for the holidays today. I have one more shipment from ThinkGeek, then I&#8217;m going to make a trip to BigLots and perhaps a few &#8220;stuff&#8221; stores in the Sunset to round out my shopping.</p>
<p>I finally tracked down a copy of <a href="http://markballew.com/blog/library/dietrich-dorner/the-logic-of-failure-recognizing-and-avoiding-error-in-complex-situations/">The Logic of Failure</a>, which the local library doesn&#8217;t carry. It&#8217; s supposed to be an excellent book on why even experts fail at complex projects. I also have <a href="http://markballew.com/blog/library/g-polya/how-to-solve-it-a-new-aspect-of-mathematical-method-princeton-science-library/">How to Solve It</a>, a good on Mathematical Methods, and <a href="http://markballew.com/blog/library/richard-p-feynman/surely-youre-joking-mr-feynman-adventures-of-a-curious-character/">Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!</a>, on loan from <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/wesolows/">Keith</a>.</p>
<p>Tonight I spent most of the night cleaning up the mess that started to gather in my apartment.  I feel a little bit better now that books aren&#8217;t laying in a stack on my floor and papers strewn across my sofa.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is a full workout day. ZG/L13 plans are looking pretty thin, unless someone can seriously motivate me to go out after 2 hours of self-inflicted hell.</p>
