<p>Notes:</p>
<p>a. Thanks to <a href=“http://interconnected.org/home/”>Matt</a> for reminding that I really must get around to reading 'A Thousand Plateaus'. Approaching it here in 2006 feels a little like stumbling into a party late, hoping that my timing might be seen as fashionable, then realising that actually it's just rude not to be punctual.<br> b. Thanks to Rod for <a href=“http://rodcorp.typepad.com/rodcorp/2005/10/how_we_work_sve.html”>pointing me to</a> 'A History of Bombing'.<br> c. Thanks to <a href=“http://tesugen.com”>Peter</a> for reminding me about 'The Castle of Crossed Destinies'.<br> d. Thanks to <a href=“http://understated.co.uk/”>Matthew</a> for buying me 'The Algebraist' for my birthday last year (it's half finished - I'm getting there Matthew!)</p>
