Even the second edition is over twenty years old. I don't think there's any reason not to read the second edition.

I have this desk from a Michigan-based company called Deskhaus (https://desk.haus/collections/sale/products/apex-pro-max-but...). It’s very stable. They also have a YouTube channel, and they test the wobbliness of desks in a few videos (e.g., https://youtu.be/dv-vjJqukn0).

Hey, I've been on your waitlist for quite a while! When can I buy your product? I've been on the verge of building my own EEG due to a lack of quality options.

You might have been colloquially correct. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, but my microwave that heats up a Hot Pocket can't. :-)

If you're interested in how the grid works and has evolved, I really enjoyed The Grid: Biography of an American Technology by Julie A. Cohn (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262537407/the-grid/).

Interestingly, no Kindle version of The Power Broker is available, although there were reports in 2021 that one was purchasable on Amazon for a very short time [1]. I really dislike handling large books, especially if I'm reading in a casual setting. Because of this, I decided to start reading The Years of Lyndon Johnson series instead, which do have Kindle versions.

I recently started reading the The Years of Lyndon Johnson and desperately want to see the documentary mentioned in the article, Turn Every Page. Alas, it doesn't seem to be playing anywhere near me [1]. Maybe other people reading will have a chance.
