Found: Rules of Thumb 2
Merlin Mann | Mar 6 2005
Last month, I mentioned a series of books by Tom Parker that I had loved in college, called “Rules of Thumb,” and I’d lamented that they were out of print (since I couldn’t find my old copies). Imagine my delight when a bit of closet refactoring turned up this dog-eared veteran. Here are a few of my old favorites:
RoT2 has 930 of these little gems of guesstimation, and, frankly, I think I could read them all day. The books are available used on Amazon (see below), but, man, I wish Houghton Mifflin would reissue all three of them as a single big volume. I’d totally buy it. 23 Comments

Awesome! My HS driver's ed class was full of this sort of tip, but I forgot most of them before I finally got my license. (The one I recall is that, when stopping at an intersection with a crosswalk, you're in about the right place when the far line is barely hidden by the front of your car.) » POSTED IN:
