Cute as long as there is something good near the computer. My tattoo encyclopedia didn't have a good line in it, either. Probably should have quoted from Steal This Computer Book, but it was buried under a pile of stuff and I didn't see it at the time.

Bookcases are yummy.

NPR guides aren't exactly cool, either. Although they can be interesting to read.

If I had work related books by my computer they would be about metallurgy, definitely sleep aid material, for most people.

Metallurgy? So what do you do for work? My ex has a PHD in Metallurgy... We use to be able to go to UC Berkeley and use the electron microscope... pretty cool stuff........

Ooh, I went on a tour of B. F. Goodrich where my mom's aunt worked and saw a scanning electron microscope. Very nice.

I run heat treating furnaces. I also check samples from the treated parts in our metallurgy lab to make sure the parts have the proper case depth and hardness. We do destructive testing. We don't have an electron microscope. I cross section parts and put indents on them. Then measuring the indents yields a converted hardness reading. After that I acid etch the part and take photographs, magnified, showing the "case" and crystalline structure of the metal. The "case" is measured to make sure it is the correct depth, which is how far into the metal the carbon needs to infuse. It's interesting, but most people find it boring.
