b53ae61db2 Read PG's Lisp for Web-Based Applications 
Read Paul Graham's notes about the benefits of building Viaweb with Lisp. I
found it interesting how his competitors (in the 90s) were using CGI scripts to
build their web applications. I wonder how much of his advice would hold true
today...

00177d2e65 Read two PG essays 
- Programming Bottom-Up: Benefits of writing reusable utility functions and
  amassing a personal utility belt. Specifically how lisp makes this easier than
  most or all languages.
- This Year We Can End the Death Penalty: Voting against the death penalty is
  voting against the killing of killers *and* the killing of innocent people,
  since some estimate that 4% of people on death row are in fact innocent.

6895b8b1ef Track which Paul Graham essays I've read and haven't read 
As I mention at the top of the org file, I cannot rely on my web browser
informing me which of these essays I've read; it only shows me which of the
links I've clicked.
