I read another chapter of Boyd’s book last night. Here’s a quote:

I want to put in a plug for my friend Dan’s site. Dan is a friend of mine who I worked with at Intergraph in Huntsville for nearly 4 years. Dan’s a great guy (even though he’s an Alabama fan - haha, Dan :) and has some good stuff to say. I recommend visiting completelyhis.com.
