Larry Augustin's Weblog: Notre Dame 38, Washington 3

Notre Dame 38, Washington 3

The Irish beat Washington yesterday. The defense remains spectacular, although they gave up some key penalties. In spite of the 38 points, the offense was inconsistent. They were unstoppable in the first half, and unable to move the ball in the second half. (The lone second half touchdown came on a very fast drive enabled by one big play - a 50 yard reception by McKnight.) Quinn's timing was definitely off in the second half as he kept missing open receivers.

If the offense can demonstrate consistency, this could be a great team. They have the defense to do it. The offense is young and improving week to week. If the offense continues to mature this team will give USC a run for it on November 27.

just embarassing for the huskies. I live in seattle and been a husky fan all my life. They have sucked so bad the last 5 years. oh well we just have to remember that they are one of the most winningest college teams in the pac 10.

My Current Reading List

Robert Jordan: Knife of Dreams (The Wheel of Time, Book 11)
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'm still reading Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. When he passed L. Ron Hubbard’s Battlefield Earth decology I could have cried. Maybe WoT will be made into the worst movie of all time? Still, I've been following the saga of Rand al'Thor for more than a decade now, and I want to see how it ends. Rumor is that the next book, Memory of Light, will in fact conclude the saga. To borrow a phrase, "There should have been only one." (**)
Neal Stephenson: Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1)
My family got me Quicksilver for Christmas. I'm not far into it, but it's clearly a Stephenson book: lots of historical connections, multiple timeline unfolding simultaneously, meticulous historical detail, 100 pages in the plot is still a total mystery, big "thud"factor... Should be a great read.
Chris DiBona: Open Sources 2.0
Anything edited by Chris DiBona is worth spending the time to read.
David Kahn: The Codebreakers : The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication from Ancient Times to the Internet
I'm just getting started with this one, but so far it's a fascinating account of the history of cryptology. It's a massive 1200 pages, so it may be a while before I move on to something else.
