Walter Isaacson’s new Einstein biography is pretty good so far. It’s a gigantic 700 page tome that I have just started to read last weekend. I’m hoping the physics (when I get to that section) will be easily digestible for someone like myself who doesn’t have a professional background in the hard sciences.

I’m not sure how this is connected, but I have discovered the joys of maraschino cherries recently. I bought a large jar of the cherries and used a few of them in a bowl of fruit salad last week. Since the jar was so large I had a lot of cherries left over and have been putting extra cherries and cherry juice in my diet 7-Up for the last several days.

This, my friends, is amazingly good. You should try it.

P.S. – In completely unrelated news, according to Apple’s website, my new laptop has been configured at the factory and left Shanghai, China yesterday. It’s slated for delivery on Monday. I am more excited than you could possibly imagine. I haven’t worked on a Mac in at least 5 years. I’m excited to make the switch and begin exploring all the creative stuff that Macs are so adept at doing.
