Apple Two Plus

One 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 … Continue reading Apple Two Plus

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.

Farewell Iain Banks

Of all the great authors I read in the last decade or so, none seemed to possess the combination of utterly fantastic imagination and optimism in the future of humanity that Iain Banks put into his culture novels.  It was startlingly sad news to read his post about his terminal cancer only two months ago; it is less startling but still sad news to see … Continue reading Farewell Iain Banks

Snap Snap Snap

My daughter’s English class spent a lot of time on poems this semester and her grade had a “poetry night” this week where every kid read one of the poems they had written.  It was fun — the kids, um, young adults, gave it a good shot and no one died on stage.  What can I say — I really liked my daughter’s poem.  I … Continue reading Snap Snap Snap
