The Philodendron 'Birkin' is a stunning tropical houseplant prized for its unique variegated foliage. This self-heading Philodendron is a mutation of the Philodendron 'Rojo Congo' and is known for its eye-catching white pinstripes on dark green leaves.
Key Features:
- Leaves: Glossy, dark green leaves with striking white or cream pinstripes. The variegation becomes more prominent as the plant matures.
- Growth Habit: Compact, self-heading (non-climbing), making it ideal for tabletops and indoor spaces.
- Size: Grows up to 1-3 feet (30-90 cm) in height and width.
- Stem: Thick, sturdy stems that support the lush foliage.
Care Requirements:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light can reduce variegation.
- Water: Keep soil slightly moist but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+); occasional misting or a humidity tray is beneficial.
- Temperature: Ideal range is 65-80°F (18-27°C); avoid exposure to cold drafts.
- Soil: Well-draining, rich potting mix with organic matter. A mix containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Propagation:
Can be propagated through stem cuttings or division, though it grows slowly.
Toxicity:
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and digestive issues.
This elegant and low-maintenance Philodendron is perfect for plant lovers looking to add a sophisticated touch to their home or office! 🌱

If you only buy one technical computer book, this is it
Format: Paperback
Disclaimer: I owned the first edition for years and read it a dozen times, mainly for pleasure since it’s not only informative but also just enjoyable to read. I’m a professional software architect and have dozens of textbooks on computer science and engineering so I’ve been around the block.
This is the kind of book I would buy all for all my friends (if I had more than a couple) and family members (if they were even slightly into computers, which they aren’t sadly). Petzold does an exceptional job at describing digital logic and guides you through building a conceptual CPU from very first principles.
I think his bottom up approach is the way to go and has helped me understand complex topics in an extremely simple way. When I’m not reading fiction, this is my go to bedtime reading.
The second edition has about 100 more pages than the first and some content has been completely reworked and it’s great.
If you ever had even a passing interest in knowing how computers work at a very fundamental level, get this book!

First programmer?
Format: Paperback
As an ardent reader of the past 1st edition, I was fairly excited to get the latest version. That is, until I encountered the history chapter of the new edition.
For one thing, what I do NOT understand in this second edition is the newly added description of August Ada Byron (countless of Lovelace). The author claims it was Babbage who was the first programmer to design the engines, not Ada. I am not trying to start a futile argument here about who has more or fewer contributions, etc.
What I am trying to assert here is that it is undisputed that Ada (unless the new evidence arises) left *the very first demonstration* of what this seemingly imaginary machine, which didn't even physically exist, was capable of through her program. Because Babbage designed the engine itself, that doesn't automatically put him in the position of a programmer (despite Babbage being a brilliant engineer/scientist and may have had a simple or detailed program in his mind). However, it was Ada who gave a definite touch to programming concepts that ultimately led to modern-day programming. Ada deserves more recognition than a mere "tutorial writer," and she is certainly entitled to the title she deserves.
Other than that, like the previous edition, this book is a must-read for people who are from related/unrelated fields. I always loved the 1st edition, and I would do too with the 2nd. Still, I think history should always be approached with more care, particularly if matters have potential controversies.

One of the few books worth your time
Format: Paperback
If you want to learn computers, start here. Learning from a historical perspective removes complexity of trying to start with say GPUs - you learn just like computer engineers did, incrementally.

An absolutely brilliant book
Format: Paperback
This is an amazing book for the right kind of reader. It's a lot like Euclid's Elements but for computers as it leads the reader through designing a computer from first principles and builds to the point of creating software and adding peripherals. It's an amazingly clear but slightly challenging read. I have given this book as a gift many many times. It's an absolute classic in my opinion.

Great introduction to Godot 4
Format: Kindle
I've been writing various types of software for 10 years and was interested in learning Godot for 2D games. This book turned out to be informative and easy to follow and gave me the knowledge I was seeking. I learn best by example, and this project focused book was excellent in that regard.
If you have zero programming experience, I would recommend learning something like Python before diving into this book. The book teaches with GDScript, which is Godot's Python-like programming language.
There are some minor mistakes in the book, but an errata is currently being kept up-to-date on the github repository for the book. I opened a few issues for things I discovered, and the author added those things to the errata. Keep this in mind if you end up getting stuck on something and are 100% sure you followed the directions in the book.
I use Unreal for 3D games, so I have not yet gone through the chapters of this book for 3D games. I wouldn't expect a drastic drop in quality, but for the purposes of this review I can't give any insight on the 3D chapters.
