Another List of Books!

This is the Entertainment Weekly Top 100 books from 1983 to the present. Despite its source, I find it to be pretty interesting. Since I love books and most of you love books, I thought I'd share it. Red ones are ones I've read. 1. The Road , Cormac McCarthy (2006) 2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of...

ICANN FAIL

I've never been a fan of ICANN. They're a ludicrously costly organsisation whose "authority" stems from administrative stewardship for some of the internet's universal namespaces. As I used to point out: ICANN costs millions to run every year and their job is to make very occasional changes to small...

My Worst High School Play

Like I said yesterday, I was involved in the majority of the plays that we did at Eastside. While some were more fun and left me feeling like I had learned something, others made me feel like crap and like I had lost things learned. An example of that would be my last high school play: The Miracle...

New Lawsuit May Kill 'The Hobbit' (eonline.com) The Lord of the Rings bling is a lot like the One Ring. Everybody wants it. The estate of Rings mastermind J.R.R. Tolkien is the latest to launch a legal salvo against New Line Cinema, suing the studio for using "creative accounting" to cheat the...

Books Read: 43-44 of 52 in '08

The inventor of cyber-punk, William Gibson writes stories of the future both depressing and exhilarating. This did not fail to entertain me - I have loved his work since Mona Lisa Overdrive (going back a bit there…) From the Cover: The flow of information is about to be disrupted… Colin Laney,...

Denver Post Interview / Brendan Gleeson / 04.02.08 (fun read!)

I know this blog is also visited by people who are specifically a fan of one of the three main actors, but I advise all fans to read this interview because it's fun. I've been waiting to find a Brendan-only interview, and this one is great. He also mentions the others so it's very quotable. FYI I've...

Count Zero

Count Zero is the second book in the Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson. A good read if you're into the cyberpunk style in any way, he is the king of cyberpunk after all. Coming in at only 246 pages you'd think this would be a quick read, but don't be fooled though. If you've never read Gibson before,...

somewhere, it is always perpetual oyster standard time

One of my spam messages yesterday had the subject line of "oyster perpetual cosmograph." Sounds vaguely steampunkish, doesn't it? And off we go... I was reading details of William Gibson's induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and noticed that steampunk was mentioned as a literary genre. I...

'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne

Intriguing book... Just started reading it. I'm suspicious though as it seems like a rehash of common sense drenched in New Age mish mash and a dose of Quantum Physics. I bought 'Spook Country' by William Gibson for this trip.... I read the first handful of chapters and put it in checked bag...

Caledonia, You're Calling Me!

"...for if I should become a stranger, you know that it would make me more than sad. Caledonia's been everything I've ever had..." Caledonia is the romantic name for Scotland. I have been trying to prepare myself for writing about this trip. It was so fantastic that I lack the proper words to make...

100 Men

A little while ago, during a blog redesign, I had a banner with 13 men pictured in, 12 of which I said I'd "do". I also said that I'm quite sure there were 100's of men I'd "do". Well I was challenged to list all 100 men... so finally here you go... 100 men I'd "do". And no, should any of them turn...

BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician

I having a thought on the 2009 Young Trad Awards. I wondering about upping the entry age to at least 18 (16 at the moment).

Movies and a book

Once again, I'm laid up with a cold. There's not much left on my Tivo and I find myself resorting to drastic measures like watching my Netflix movies. Time to get that queue moving again. 3:10 to Yuma was ok. Hell of a cast. I feel like it could have had a little more suspense. It mostly Russell...
