Free books, OMFG!

I’ve been teaching myself HTML (and XHTML and CSS) for a few days now, only I accidentally lost the book I’m using to teach myself.

Then, today, I went to the library and they had a free HTML book available outside. They had four, actually.

Noting the serendipity, I perused the other titles: Javascript for the World Wide Web, CSS and Adobe Go Live 6.0.

Now, CSS and XHTML go together, so it was a given that I’d also take that book, and Javascript is just friggin’ cool.

The only book I didn’t really want was the Go Live book. Because– although I have the program — I have never used it. However, I felt really bad that I took every book but that one, so I brought it home too.

I bet I would have done that for every book. Heck, I would have done that for anything. If I were buying puppies and the last one had the face of my grandmother, I’d tough it out and take it home too.

I just hope nobody takes advantage of me. . . any more so than the library did today. Heck, I bet that’s how they get rid of all the books they don’t want: by packaging them with other, better books.

p.s. WTF is back. Check here February for new quips. You can also send me whatever funny ideas have crossed through your mind in the past year.
