Yeah, you can learn a lot from some of this stuff. I haven't seen a
treasure trove like this since I worked in a large library 50 years ago!
Picked up an Illustrated History of the Civil War a few days ago. I knew
google had free eBooks, but just got more deeply into it recently.
Warning: it can be a gigantic Time Sink!


A tablet or ebook reader leverages the experience. I've got quite of a
few of them loaded onto my iPad.


I like the drive-by, sucker!!

LOL ... a fully expenseable (Sec 179) business TOOL, of course!

Not kidding ... for about four months an iPad has basically taken the
place of my laptop for everyday, on-site business use. Easily access
e-mail, order/search for material and supplies from the interweb and,
using cloud services like DropBox, EverNote and GoogleDocs, can access
all project documents, drawings, plans, spreadsheets, portoflios, take
hand written notes and can print from most any wifi connection that has
a wireless printer attached. Clients love it because the screen size
makes viewing plans and documents much easier with instant, on the spot
access.

For a contractor, one of the best tools around for day to day operations.
