a feeding frenzy for the brain

The Fall 2006 MIT Press Bookstore Loading Dock Sale is coming! For those in the Boston area (or just visiting), this is always a fun event and an excellent chance to find good books at great prices.

Sun is a member of the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, so if you are a Sun employee and you shop in the bookstore (rather than the loading dock out back), show your ID for a discount (25%, I believe) on MIT Press titles.

Here is the full text of the Loading Dock Sale announcement:

Hail, Virtuality!

Eric Sharakan, of Sun's Platform Software Group, has started a blog. Eric works on SPARC virtualization technology and promises to share both high-level technical information and nitty-gritty detail about his work.

His break-the-ice, first blog entry solves the Howard Stern mystery raised in my recent article ("Why Blog?") and includes pointers to some very funny photos.
