Warby Parker & Buckminster Fuller

Warby Parker's eyeglass emporium's aesthetic is dominated by books. Waiting while michelle perused the selection, I pulled out Virtual Words.

Virtual Words is a "dictionary" of terms associated w the Web & cyberscience. He gives the etymology of qubit, a word i've recently encountered w my research of quantum computing companies and wondered about its numerical value. 

Another of Mr. Keats's books, also from Oxford University Press, is a reprise of Buckminster Fuller. It's available here for free from the Internet Archive or you can tap the image to goto Amazon's listing.  .



Of the thousands of books in the store, what were my chances? 

I got out of RGTI at $19.24 just before it fell 47% to around $10.50. One of the pundits commented "It's smart to not be greedy." Lucky Herrmann!
