book review: steve jobs

i'll get this over with quickly: don't buy the book.

at best, it offers a handful of interesting insights into some of the history of apple and the tech industry at large during steve's lifetime.

at worst, it is painfully redundant and starkly lacking any narrative quality. this book DESPERATELY needs some hardcore editing and a sober round of new input from all contributors now that el jobso has gone up the great glass staircase in the sky.

i wish you could return kindle editions...

book review: robopocalypse

pretty good book. BADLY overhyped. spielberg's gonna make a movie of it... that pretty much covers everything on this one.

RIP, steve jobs

no kidding, my mom just called to see how i was doing about steve's death. the funny thing is, i think i'm a lot more upset than i'm willing to admit...

book review: ready player one

Ready Player One is a really good book. maybe not Neuromancer good, but still a fun read. especially if you love plucky kids vs. megacorporations, video games and 80s nostalgia.

mazda 3 review

this weblog has long suffered in the purgatory known as "i-am-way-too-busy-to-post-stupid-crap-anywhere-other-than-facebook-land." so let's resurrect it with everybody's favorite: a rental car review!



last week i had to fly out for a press check on a sunday (boo!) and monday was my birthday (BOOOOOOOO!) but this car was my little birthday miracle. for starters, it was black. always nice to have something other than white, burgundy or gold. second, it was reasonably fast and handled mighty nicely.

but the vehicular icing on the birthday cake: BLUETOOTH HANDSFREE. i got to make telephone calls from the steering wheel and every time i got in the car it started playing MY music from MY phone.

i love the future.

5 out of 5 rental car stars.
