The Core Dump is the personal blog of Nic Lindh, a Swedish-American pixel-pusher living in Phoenix, Arizona.
Welcome to Nic's Core Dump. Enjoy.
Book roundup, part twelve
A slimmer-than-usual book roundup is heavy on the non-fiction, including several must-read titles.
A diary of Swedish weather
Nic ransacks his memories to recount a year of Swedish weather.
Book roundup, part eleven
Another book roundup, including some stellar athletes and soldiers, what might be the most jaded, soul-weary protagonist ever, and some grimdark fantasy.
Paywalls and tinfoil hats
The Internet is getting creepy, and Nic is breaking out his tinfoil hat after newspaper paywalls push him over the edge.
Read this book: Salt Sugar Fat
Nic reads a book about the processed food industry and is incensed.
Seen a Rechthaberei lately?
Nic proposes the loan word Rechthaberei be incorporated into American English.

Book roundup, part nine
From a true patriot to a world-weary detective, a dead god, and a civilization about to sublime from the galaxy, this book roundup spans the gamut. Includes Where Men Win Glory, Wild, Inside the Box, The Black Box, Three Parts Dead, Red Country, and The Hydrogen Sonata.
Size matters: The iPad mini is its own experience
Nic has spent quality time with the iPad mini and wants to share his opinion. Because there clearly aren't enough iPad reviews on the Internet.
Smoking spareribs on the Kamado
Nic levels up on the grill by smoking spareribs on his Kamado. Tasty, tasty ribs.
