Where’s Kevin?
Posted on April 26th, 2008
Went to Powell’s today. After 10 years of appreciating the fact that Barnes and Noble had two whole shelves full of books about science, it was a shock to find a whole store - about the size of my previously local Barnes and Noble - full of books about science.
The first 8 books I picked up were OMG-I-could-read-this-all-day books. I had to get outta there before I became lost in the singularity.
If you ever find yourself wondering “Where’s Kevin?” the answer, to a first approximation, will be “he’s at Powell’s”.

If that’s the Powell’s Technical Bookstore on 8th street, I understand why. What a great store. I found a book there that went out of print decades ago.

I think Simon left that very same evening. He didn’t eat any of the bait and I haven’t seen him since.
