Book of the Month: The Moral Landscape
I have been reading this off and on for about a year and just finally struggled through the last of it. I enjoyed Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris much more. It was shorter and for a broader audience and The Moral Landscape seemed like it was for a philosophy major. At least it will look like I am smart when I put it on my "read" bookshelf.
“In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false—and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled: for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of our “culture wars,” Harris delivers a game-changing book about the future of science and about the real basis of human cooperation.”

New Gear: Sony NEX-5R
So I was saving for a Sony NEX-7 for awhile but I found an open box NEX-5R at Best Buy for half price and I just had to get it. I have been looking at the NEX series ever since Trey Ratcliff at Stuck in Customs switched from Nikon to the NEX-7. I am excited to take my camera out to more places and more often since this camera is so small but takes DSLR quality photos. It has a remote camera app where I can change settings and get a live view on my android phone. It can also send the full sized photos to my phone for easy sharing. I have recently switched to using Google+ for my photo sharing and using a service called Friends+Me that takes that post and pushes it to my facebook, twitter, tumblr, and linkedin. I then post a cropped square version to my instagram which then shares to my flickr. I also post right here to my blog. So I post my photos 3 times and it goes out to 8 places. If you have a better way to do this, let me know. The last couple photos I have posted are from this new camera, shared to my phone, edited in snapseed and then sent out to google+, instagram and my blog as mentioned before. I hope you enjoy the extra quality and I hope to start doing some cool videos whenever I get AfterEffects and Premiere.

Audiobook of the Month: Daemon
I read this as an audiobook from Audible. I saw the author Daniel Suarez on Triangulation. So I added his book Daemon to my Audible wishlist. It was very interesting because all the tech and hacking going on in the book seemed plausible. I believe he mentioned a movie script in the Triangulation interview, so that sounds promising and exciting. Anyways, I recommend it. You can check out the plot summary at Audible.com
