Maze generation is fun (I'm a big fan of Eller's algorithm), but why buy a book, when I can get all I need from a Google search?

You are right. However sometimes its nice to dig really deep into a structured explanation of a particular subject. For that, I like books.

I did some maze generation a long while back but I designed my own algorithms for it. I wish I had had this book then as it was a lot more difficult than I expected and it would probably have saved me a lot of time!

That's very cool you've worked through some of the algorithms on your own.
I stumbled into these ideas because of this book and I liked the explanations a lot. The book is actually well-written and interesting even as a survey into the maze algos.

For me, I don't have a tablet, and my Kindle doesn't do Google. And my bed is my best reading place; so opposite to a day's reading sitting up behind a monitor.

Very cool. And, definitely something you can read a few times.
I like the complexity of the ideas that they in turn make more ideas arise.

If you can't figure out the tempo, perhaps you should give it a rest.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Such local ballot include Marijuana legalization, LGBT issues, Minimal wages...

Here in Illinois we had a referendum to force our government to use transportation generated tax money only for transportation / infrastructure projects. They have been dipping into the proverbial cookie jar for decades while the roads and bridges suffer.
Looks like it passed with an 80% vote.

Here in Oregon, there was a measure for outdoor school that passed -- basically, get the kids into the outdoors for a week where they can learn what's outside their computers and game machines.
Popular enough to pass, but probably not everybody's cup 'O tea (especially the kids, who got no vote on the matter).
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
