The Hacker's Diet
I've only read the first few pages, but so far The Hacker's Diet has been an interesting read. Available online or as a PDF file, it's basically a diet book for engineers and other geeks.
One thing I've learned already is that you have to burn around 3500 calories to get rid of a pound of fat. I don't know why, but every time I think in those terms I get an image of bacon frying in a pan. Is it just me?
And I never would've found the Hacker's Diet if CoolTools hadn't pointed the way in this entry. Thanks CT!
For some reason, The Hacker's Diet reminded me of The Physics Diet. Surely between the two of them they ought to be able to help any overweight geeks become slim and buff geeks in no time. OK, maybe not in no time, but in some variable amount of time that they will no doubt measure down to 1/10000th of a second!
