Reading “Daemon”
Daemon. By Daniel Suarez. Interesting so far but it seems tech’d-up. All the techno babble is ok but nobody looks at hardware and says “it has a TCP/IP stack that enables to to interact with IP networks over this cat5 cable”. Either the people you’re talking to know what you’re talking about and you’d justContinue reading “Reading “Daemon””
Listening to a Warhammer audiobook again
After reading Horus Rising (actually gave it a 1* on goodreads; go figure), I had to admit to really not liking Warhammer 40k books. Lots of general 40K universe feeling, but not much or even barely any real story Today I read a quote that about sums it up.. Quite a few Warhammer books are to beContinue reading “Listening to a Warhammer audiobook again”

On being knowledgeable about life versus living
A quote from “Trust Me, I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator”. Quote by Paul Lazarsfeld and Robert Merton : The interested and informed citizen can congratulate himself on his lofty state of interest and information and neglect to see that he has abstained from decision and action. In short, he takes his secondaryContinue reading “On being knowledgeable about life versus living”
Finished Bleeding Hearts by Ian Rankin
(finished it yesterday night actually. A bit later to sleep than I’d planned but who here can put down those last 30 pages of a good book?) She had just over three hours to live, and I was sipping grapefruit juice and tonic in the hotel bar. It was probably the grapefruit & tonic, butContinue reading “Finished Bleeding Hearts by Ian Rankin”
