About meI'm an aerospace engineer, researcher & entrepreneur with a lot of interests. You can read about many of them on my blog All Things [http://allthings.blogsome.com]. If you're interested in aerospace, then check out my blog AeroGo [http://www.xanga.com/AeroGo]. I do interdisciplinary research in systems applied to psychology/productivity and other areas.

You can get links to most of what I'm writing at various places on the web by using the Twitter link [http://twitter.com/aeroG]. Connect through one of the sites below, or just leave a comment here!

About my libraryI haven't had time to enter very many books yet. My wife says I'm an addict, but at least I've gotten pretty good at buying most of my books used or on clearance. To me, books, etc. are the raw material for research. Life is too short to figure out everything for ourselves; we've got to learn from others!

I just discovered the apparently new personalized Home page which is quite a collection of stats, etc. about my account. Actually, I was looking to see if the free account book limit was still 200.

Assuming it is, my total of 189 is getting pretty close to that now. I don't get on LibraryThing very often but will probably need to decide before too much longer whether I want to upgrade to a paid account. LT users might want to take a look at the upgrade page, it's interesting how they're letting you choose to a certain degree how much you pay to upgrade.

This is a pretty nice site, I hope it keeps getting better. I wonder if Microsoft is thinking about buying LibraryThing, since Amazon bought Shelfari. It seems like the sort of site that would fit well with MS Live Spaces. I never could understand why MS would want to spend $45 billion on Yahoo when there are so many interesting sites on the web that they could probably pick up for far less than 1 percent of that.
Hello friend,

I see that we have a number of books in common.

A lot of my editions are actually hardbacks, which I usually buy used. I like to write a lot of notes in my books, and hardbacks are usually better for this.

BTW, I never buy the Drucker paperbacks - they are pretty bad quality. Get the hardbacks from half.com or somewhere. His stuff is still pretty popular and doesn't show up much in library sales or used book stores.

Also, if you're interested in Drucker, I wrote about him recently [http://allthings.blogsome.com/2005/11/12...].
Okay, folks, I'm starting to get the hang of this. If you have an author with a long list of titles coming up (of which you have more than one), try using the forward and backward buttons on your browser instead of starting over for every book.
