“Code is not like other how-computers-work books. It doesn't have big color illustrations of disk drives with arrows showing how the data sweeps into the computer. Code has no drawings of trains carrying a cargo of zeros and ones. Metaphors and similes are wonderful literary devices but they do nothing but obscure the beauty of technology.” BookBigsTechnologyWonderfulColorComputerTrainMetaphorDrawingDataCodeDevicesObscureSimileArrowsIllustrationCargoDiskLiterary Devices Book:Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software Source: Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
“I love what Chris & Katy are bringing to the table with Coal Train Railroad. It makes ME feel like a kid again! I think children of all ages will love the humor, silliness and the catchy, cool, and crazy music that reminds us all that music should be fun to listen to. I’m honored (and slightly tickled) to be part of this wonderful project.

“As an author, I don't really think too much about being a celebrity. It's not like being a movie star or a TV star. It's not as if people recognize me when I walk down the street. That hardly ever happens, and it's just as well. But it is great when people know my books, when I walk through an airport and see them in the bookstore, or when I see someone reading a book on a plane or on a train, and it's something I've written. That's a wonderful feeling.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWellsBookFeelingsHappensReadingStarsWalksToo MuchWonderfulWrittenStreetsTvsTrainPlanesMovie StarAirportsBookstores Author:Rick Riordan
“I have a lot of trouble forgiving myself for being so dumb...

“You need to be able to hit, kick, grapple, wrestle, but for me so much of this is about the mind, about feeling you are in complete control of the space around you, and you know what to do at any moment. That is a wonderful feeling, but it doesn't just happen, you have to work for it, train for it, think about it all the time.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsMindMomentsFeelingsHappensAbleSpaceWonderfulTrainKicks Author:Conor McGregor
