Hi there! You've reached the homepage of Ben Lavender! Ben is a computery person who partakes in many kinds of nerd tomfoolery, but mostly programming! You've found his home on the web, with the caveat that a lot his day-to-day stuff ends up on social networks, so this site makes him seem pretty stodgy.
Enjoy your stay.

BHUGA WOOGA!

Book Reviews

Here are reviews of most of the books I read. I write them not for you, but for me; I find that knowing I will write a review makes me read in a more critical, more useful way. Usefully, it leads to being able to put bad books down. When I find a major flaw in the first 20 pages, and I know the rest of the book is built on bullshit, and I'll have to write about how I kept reading it anyway, and I'll feel stupid. I recommend this system.

Nonetheless, if you're interested, here they are. Sometimes I forget, so this is not all of them.

Who made this awesome site?

Ben and a Camel
Camels smell freaking terrible but I'm no hater.

That'd be Ben Lavender. Want to tell him how amazing this site is? His fine social networks are below.

You're welcome to see Ben's code on Github, report bugs, and get dramatic about his choice of stylistic dogma.
