illogical The newest song from OatmealBreakfast

One day I am going to have a whole town that enjoy my songs. Sure the town will be a ghost town and I will be the only person living it it. But, it will still be a whole town who likes my music. Maybe not. If you read this post and listen to illogical you will be able to say years down the line that you were one of the only people to listen to one of the worst composers ever. Or you will be able to say that you knew OatmealBreakfast was going to be great. You knew it all along. I hope the song illogical makes not sense to anyone who listens to it. Maybe all my songs don't make sense to the people who listen to them. I mean the 9 or ten people who have listened to them. I have been making songs for 3 years. Sure no one listens to my songs. I don't blame them. Anyway I am enjoying composing songs. I have a long way to go to get good. Wish me luck. Goodnight from OatmealBreakfast until next time. Thank you for reading.

Review: Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City

Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City by Robin Nagle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was excited to read this book. And it did not disappoint. My favorite chapters were the ones that talked about the history of NYC garbage collection. I was surprised to learn that NYC used to throw its garbage in the ocean. And empty its chamber pots in rivers. I makes me glad to live at this time.
I was also surprised to learn that some NYC garbage were ashamed to be garbage men. One man has not told his neighbors what he does for a living. Me personally I think being a garbage man is a honorable profession. It keeps the streets free of garbage.
This book was a page turner. I wish I could read faster. It was so good. I thought reading this book was worth my time spent reading it. There were so many great stories.
I also learn that street sweepers are also called mechanical brooms. It was fun to read about mechanical brooms also. I enjoyed it.

Review: The Everything Guide to Investing in Cryptocurrency: From Bitcoin to Ripple, the Safe and Secure Way to Buy, Trade, and Mine Digital Currencies

The Everything Guide to Investing in Cryptocurrency: From Bitcoin to Ripple, the Safe and Secure Way to Buy, Trade, and Mine Digital Currencies by Ryan Derousseau
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In my reviews I am always worried that people will read my review and think did he read the same book as I did. I am worried that I will not remember the book correctly.
I thought this book was Ok. I liked the glossary and resources sections at the end of the book. By reading this book I learned a lot more about cyptocurrency than I knew before I read this book. I thought cryptocurrency began and ended with bitcoin. That is sure not true. The reason I got the book to read was because I read a headline from a news article that said something like Bitcoin takes a lot of energy to mine. I don't think I will be mining bitcoin anytime soon or ever.
It thought this book was worth the read. What else do I want to say about the book? Nothing.

Review: Neurofitness: The Real Science of Peak Performance from a College Dropout Turned Brain Surgeon

Neurofitness: The Real Science of Peak Performance from a College Dropout Turned Brain Surgeon by Rahul Jandial
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My favorite chapters of the book was the one on sleep. Which mentioned lucid dreaming. I am going to fly tonight. I think it would be fun to have a lucid dream. I also liked the chapter on creativity. Who doesn't want to be more creative. I liked the authors tips on how to be more creative.
The stores of his patients in the chapters were interesting. Fascinating. The former TV producer who was homeless who had a brain tumor. At least that is what I think it was. The girl who had to have half her brain removed.
Its amazing to me that people can go to school long enough to become doctors. Its a good thing. I would not want a world without doctors.
This book was a quick and fascinating read. I think I learned something by reading the book.

Review: The Beekeeper's Handbook

The Beekeeper's Handbook by Diana Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

I read the 3rd edition of the book. It seems like it took me forever to read. I made it through. There is so much about honey bees that i need to learn. And I think this book had a lot of great information about honey bees. If only I could spend the rest of my life studying it then I could become a honey bee expert.
My two favorite things in the book were a recipe for bee brood and and the page on how to raise wax moths for fishing bait and food for people. It says wax moths cane be fried. When fried they pop like popcorn, and when salt is added they taste like potato chip or corn puffs. I have to eat insects. Most of the world eats insects so I should also.
The beekeepers handbook has everything you would expect from a book about beekeeping. Personally I never to memorize bee anatomy. Learning about beekeeping is so much fun. I am sure actually beekeeping would be more fun. I can't want to keep bees for real. I hope I become a beekeeper some day.
Thinking about sitting around a beehive and watching the bees fly around seems fun. I am sure the sound of the bees would be relaxing.
Reading this book was not a wast of my time.

Review: Kingdom of Lies: Unnerving Adventures in the World of Cybercrime

Kingdom of Lies: Unnerving Adventures in the World of Cybercrime by Kate Fazzini
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was easy and quick to read. I liked reading about the different things that each of the people in this book did. Sig had a company that infected computers with ransomware. Victor hacked cars,
chou stole company's data. Rene was not good at using computers but, she could talk so she worked customer service at sig's company.
What most of the people did for a living in this book was not nice or anything I would do. I think the book makes Kate Fazzini's point that hackers are like everyone else.
The person next door. They are not some anti social teenager in their basement writing viruses. At least not all of them.
I did not waste my time reading this book that is for sure. I can't think of anything else to write in this review.

OatmealBreakfasts latest and greatest song: toothBrush

Doesn't everyone find brushing your teeth so exciting. I know I do. Or do I? I have to brush my teeth to keep them looking great. I have not flossed in years. So perhaps I need to floss. What about a song about flossing my teeth. That could be my next song. Or flop of a song. I hope some one enjoys the song. Goodnight

Review: Keeping Bees: A Complete Practical Guide

Keeping Bees: A Complete Practical Guide by Paul Peacock
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

For me its always enjoyable to read about bees. It seems to me that every book about bees I read I learn something new. Or at least the facts about bees are further cemented in my mind. There is so much to know about bees. Its hard for me to remember all that I want to remember. At least now I know that there are more types of bees than honey bees, and bumble bees.
This is book is a quick read. It talks about hive site selection, hive types, how often to check bees, how to check bees, the pest an diseases of bees, honey, Propolis, pollen. It talks about how to harvest the honey. So its a solid book.
My favorite part when the hive section. I had never heard of a few of the types of hives. I enjoyed reading this book. As I wrote its always fun to read about bees. I feel I did not waste my time by reading this book.

Review: The Art of Invisibility: The World's Most Famous Hacker Teaches You How to Be Safe in the Age of Big Brother and Big Data

The Art of Invisibility: The World's Most Famous Hacker Teaches You How to Be Safe in the Age of Big Brother and Big Data by Kevin D. Mitnick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had read becoming an ethical hacker so I wanted to read more about security. So I got this book. I had never hear about Kevin Mitnick before reading this book. The book did not disappoint.
There was so much interesting information in the book. It was interesting to read about what companies can collect about you while using their services. I had never thought about if the web mail provider I have could read my email. Or what a social network could do with tie information I put on the site. I would need to read the book a few more times to be able to remember all the information I want to.
The book was full of interesting stories. I don't know what else to write. All I can say is that I did not waste my time reading the art of invisibility. I learned so much. And I hope I will be more security conscious now that I have read it.

bats OatmealBreakfasts newest song

If I saw a bat in the wild I will cover my head and run, run, run. bats scare me. No bat has ever done anything to me. I don't recall ever seeing a bat in the wild so I don't know why I am scared of bats. I am not a fan of horror movies. So I don't know how I got to be so afraid of bats. I recently I read a book about bats. And then I decided to write a song. And here is the song. I hope someone I hope that my songs are getting better. And I hope someone listens to the song all the way through. Enjoy. Until next time this is OatmealBreakfast.
