  • Finally finished “A Fire Upon the Deep” by Vernor Vinge. Great book, balls-to-the-wall SF. Hard to get into at first, then hard to put down. #
  • I’ve been researching. Mutual followers CAN see my actions section on Twitter after all. Some people have too many Twitter accounts. (grin) #
  • Talked on the phone w/ Shelley for like two hours. It’s not her or me, it’s the combination. We can YAK. So good to have a friend like that. #

  • Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge (The whole book, for free online in one bigass text file)
  • DAMMIT! My iPhone’s volume rocker just lost its clickum. It thinks I’m pushing the up button and won’t stop. ARGH #
  • HA! I got my geeky dad all intrigued about the Kindle. I *knew* he’d be into it. :-) #
  • Met up with the wreck-a-stow lady. Status upgraded to “probably sometime”! FU if it seems an odd choice for a webcoder. I’d love it there. #
  • I love mystery packages even if they’re not for me. Wil got one and it’s driving me mad even though it’s prolly just boring ol’ boy stuff. #
  • For somebody who doesn’t even own a car anymore, I sure am indignant over that jalopy parked in our spot for the last 9 days. #
  • LOL!! In the Kindle video demo of the dictionary feature he looks up the word “profligate”: recklessly extravagant or wasteful of resources. #
  • The Amazon Kindle
  • My iPhone is now useless for podcasts, unless I want my ears blown out by the faulty rocker switch. Got an appt with the genius tomorrow. #
