Too Many eBooks and Keeping them Organized

The nice thing about digital books is that they are easily stored and accessible in very little space. The bad thing about digital books is that it can be hard to find things in a virtual shelf where you can't easily see covers and authors and topics. There is something to be said for covers, when you can easily glance at a row of books and see the color combination that sticks out as "This is the book that I like".

My Music Listening Habits for October 2019

Star Wars Black Series – Chirrut Imwe

I cannot, for the life of me, properly remeber Chirrut Imwe. I keep wanting to go with Churrit Imwe, or Chimwe Irrut, or some backwards variation. Last week I commented on his partner Baze Malbus. So Chirrut Imwe is the closes thing Rogue One has to a Jedi in it's cast. Ok, technically Darth Vader is in the cast, but he's kind of a minor character who mostly exists for fanservice. It's never super clear if Chirrut is force attuned or anything, though given his martial arts skills adn that his character is blind, it seems likely. Unfortunately for Chirrut,…
