Four years and $19,999
I thought people might be interested in what four years of iOS side projects looks like.
So was all that time working well below minimum wage worth it? Totally. There is nothing better to sharpen your saw as a developer (and as an entrepreneur) than building real products and selling them to real people.

The Golem and the Jinni - Helen Wrecker
A rich tapestry rendering turn of the century New York in stunning detail. A cleverly constructed plot provides a framework for real characters to emerge in a fascinating, internally consistent world.
I loved this book despite the slightly confused & rushed final scene which didn't quiet deliver on the massive expectations created by the preceding chapters.

Bad Debts - Peter Temple
Great hook gets you into the story and invested in the characters. The ending left me a bit cold, the twists not quite twisty enough. George R R Martin has probably broken me.

1788 - Watkin Tench and Tim Flannery
For the first time in my life I am interested in Australia history. The amiable Watkin Tench's account of the first few years of settlement in Australia is absolutely worth reading. It bothers me that every Australian student hasn't read this book (or even knows it exists).

American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House - Jon Meacham
Fascinating history of a complex, powerful and sometimes malevolent force in the history of the United States.
but Jackson was not a president of consistent principle. He was a politician subject to his own passions and predilections.
