Alachua County Friends of the Library Book Sale Rocks (Again)!

The Alachua County Friends of the Library spring book sale has come and gone. I love that sale! I had my Droid with me so I could look up book reviews using the Amazon shopping app for each book before buying... thus I bought a few more books than last time. Monday through Wednesday were very convenient for me since I work just down the street from the sale.
I think I only spent about twenty bucks total. I was happy to pick up some copies of books that I had already read but did not own. I also found a few books that I had on my reading list to watch out for.
The most interesting looking titles (that is, the titles themselves were interesting) were Great Mambo Chicken & the Transhuman Condition and The Millennial Project - Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps.
Here is the complete list of the books I bought at the sale:

Linux Home Theater PC - HTPC

Our home network consists of Linux, Mac, and Windows client computers. I bought a Samsung ML-2571N network laser printer for 70 dollars from http://geeks.com to eliminate the need for a separate print server computer. This printer is SO FAST and works with all three platforms. My Linux desktop computer has a color printer/scanner attached to it so if we do need to scan or print in color we just power on the desktop computer. Eliminating the print server functionality allowed me to put the new server in the entertainment center.
Our digital movies and music are now right there with the sound system and HDTV. The new machine allows us to watch full-screen flash video (such as Hulu.com). Video transcoding is about four times faster on the new server than my desktop computer (which I described in My Home Desktop Computer Runs Linux ).
Here are the specs of the new Server / Home Theater PC (HTPC):
