Amazon sent me some recommendations and they are good. 7 out of 9 look like something I want to read. Kind of for my own future reference here are the books they recommended:

• Even Faster Web Sites: Performance Best Practices for Web Developers by Steve Souders

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons

I think I get to take my laptop onto the plane with me when I leave the USA. I have only enough time to see one thing in London, what should I see?

“[I feel a] deep urge to be moving above this slough of mediocrity which seems to characterize my days. Father, if these strong currents be flesh-driven, stanch and slay them. But if they can be sublimated, channeled, into courses which will do Thy service, then intensify them, mobilize them, give them direction.” - Jim Elliot

Lord, I have given my life to you, to use for whatever you will. Help me to be unlike Ananias and Sapphira who said that they gave everything but secretly held back.

The standard we are to measure by is the character of Christ, not the character of others. Paul had to address this problem in writing to the Corinthians: “We do not dare classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves they are not wise.”
From “The 33 laws of Stewardship” by Dave Sutherland and Kirk Nowery, chapter 20, The Law of Secret Spirituality.
