Available as a free audio book on Podiobooks.comMy one complaint about this book is not with the text, but with the presentation of the audio. As it was originally serialized, each chapter after the first begins with a "Previously on.." segment, replaying clips from previous episodes. I only complain ( Read more... )

I blame a combination of coffee with dinner and a sudden foregrounding of a seekrit project for the lack of update yesterday.

The (not seekrit project) story goes something like this:
I was in Seattle Monday night for an author event at the University Book Store in the U District, pretty much exclusively because Cory Doctorow was going to be ( Read more... )

I recently started playing the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons here in Seattle and decided to go with a Dwarf Warden as my character. The powers of a Warden looked interesting, and it sounded like the group needed a defense character.

The other day I was talking with Mike online and he said something about nano, one of the more user-friendly command line text editors. He said it confused him, noting that "being so used to something as roundabout as vim makes 'normal' editors pretty weird ( Read more... )

Woke up yesterday with a sore throat, runny nose throughout the day. Woke up today to a sore throat and dripping nose, violent sneezes. Blah ( Read more... )

We'll see how long this lasts this time ( Read more... )

Another month, another blog entry.

Let's start with the exciting and recent: I was in a slight auto accident Sunday night (0030 Monday, technically). No injuries, minimal damage to my vehicle, no other vehicles involved.

I dropped my friend Jon (also called Hawk, or duaiwe) off at his apartment and was backing out of the lot to go home. Normally I ( Read more... )
