Go Get the Readings

cd pub
get 290Readings.tar
It is a big file (100Mb). Unpack it (tar -xf 290Readings.tar, or if you're lucky, double click) and you'll see two directories, "Keepers" and "Supplements." These are all PDFs.
The Supplements were readings I had considered for the class but decided, nehh. The Keepers are the readings you shall be required to read. Some of the readings are pretty easy, so it is not as daunting as it looks. And quite frankly, if you can't read 4 papers a week you're in the wrong business. Actually you should be able to scan about 4 papers an hour and really read 4 papers a day to be competitive... so you'll thank me later.
It's short notice to print them all out by tomorrow, so don't bother. Tomorrow we'll have a logistical meeting, and then Monday morning we'll have our first reading discussion. Tomorrow I'll assign the first readings. Be sure to have all the Keepers printed out by mid-October, when we dig back into the class after the conferences.
