John — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:22:55 +0000

Lisp rarely tops any "trending languages" list, but it's quietly influenced nearly every modern language you already use, and it's still one of the most genuinely mind-expanding things a programmer can learn. This roundup collects 9 free books: seven on Lisp and its family (Common Lisp, Build Your Own Lisp, the Janet language, ClojureScript) and two on Prolog for readers who want to try logic programming — all sourced directly from their authors' own sites, not recycled excerpts. Whether you want to understand macros, build an interpreter from scratch, or think in terms of rules and inference for the first time, it's all here.

Free Habit Tracker Printable: 4 Layouts to Choose From

John — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:26:57 +0000

Most habit trackers fail for one of two reasons: too simple to give useful feedback, or too complicated to fill in daily. This free printable habit tracker solves both by offering four layout options in one download — a streak-count grid, a written-review format, a went-well/got-in-the-way reflection layout, and a mixed version combining all three. Fill in one habit per row, mark the day you actually did it, and let the grid do what a habit app's streak counter never quite manages.
