Apple Two Plus

apple2One of these days I’ll write a real blog post about it, but I inherited the first family computer from when I was growing up.  It’s an Apple II+ from about 1980 I think (maybe 1979) and it was one of the most defining things of my childhood (with legos maybe being a close second).  I have it out in the basement, but powered down — I am not sure what to do with it.

Bookmark: Dicebox

Dicebox by Jenn Manley Lee is The Grapes of Wrath crossed with Star Wars.  And I’ve read large chunks of it at two different times – it just doesn’t always serialize that well.  It’s definitely a story that needs to be read in at least chapters to get sucked into it.

I’ve been re-reading it from the start over at Comic Rocket which will help me from losing my place in it.  I’m only about a little more than a quarter of the way through it’s almost 400 page archive.
