- In my opinion the nowadays politic sytuation all over world isn't better than over 10 years ago when there were two great country with big army. It isn't mistery that now the most powerful country all over world is USA and it takes advantages of this fact - everybody has heard about Afganistan or Iraq. And it isn't true that this actions are because of terrorism and for peace. The main reason of present USA army in Iraq are oil and money. Every war is a business. |

- Home servers and smartphones will eventually replace notebook computers for most users First, people had computers at work. Next, they got them at home. Eventually, the work computer became a notebook, or one was added. This allowed mobility, and a scan of any airport will tell you how successful the notebook has been. The next step is to eliminate the notebook and go back to a home pc with access via your smartphone. |

- Sorry for the outage; the site's been down for almost a month. I am victim to both my own stupidity and a confluence of low probability events. Three of my big hard drives in two machines failed in within two weeks of each other. One drive just clicks repeatedly when power is supplied, one doesn't spin up at all and the third has a visibly scorched chip on it's controller. |

- I will have to copy down some recipes from this book. Particularly the tips for pie crust, since I am most likely to use that. |

- This dovetailed nicely with the Dourish book I just finished (and will review soon). Turkle and Papert are tantalizingly close to realizing the important role that tangible interfaces can play in teaching computation. They constantly discuss the importance of the concrete, how some people treat programming elements as "almost tactile", but never quite suggest that learning interfaces should be actually tactile. This was written several years before Ullmer and Ishii's seminal tangible bits pap ... |

- So why not just pay the $400/month that Carefirst and other insurers offer? Because the premium goes up every year. Mind you, mom is in excellent health (knock on wood) - no diabetes, kidney, or heart disease. And she takes care of herself - she eats well and does pilates. |

- John Lott appears to have written an anonymous review of the Phil Cook/Jens Ludwig book on the cost of gun violence, in which he pretends to be a gun control supporter disappointed by the quality of the research. |

- New comics Wednesday - the issue of NEW X-MEN that was supposed to come out last week was in, as well as issue #5 (of 6) of EMPIRE. I don't want to spoil NEW X-MEN for Lee, who I think is on Imperial or possibly the Riot at Xavier's collection, so let's just say that the hints that the villain's plans are going to go very badly wrong in previous issues seem to have progressed to huge blinking neon signs. One thing Morrison's played with is recasting the humans vs. mutants plotline that hasn't go ... |

- I picked up The Moreau Omnibus today, not from the aforementioned New Age section. As with all things enjoyable and evil, I blame John Nowak. I believe the Cathars had a similar doctrine. |

- While I collect my thoughts on The Book of Eibon, I thought I'd post about my latest comics purchase, Steven Grant's Mortal Souls. I'm not sure if the first Steven Grant comic I read was Moon Knight (I think I was reading the Doug Moench issues, but not sure) or Whisper (the First Comics incarnation). I picked up First Comics' Twilight Man, looked through Badlands. Grant's got a good ear for dialogue, he can write complex plots and he's got a weakness for crime stories. |

- Anthony Burgess' A Dead Man in Deptford is a fine thing. As is Chester Himes' The Crazy Kill. The person who can find a way to combine the two will be fabulously wealthy, though All Shot Up might be even more profitable. |

- And talking of books, I also have to read the final proofs of my latest book, The Flirt Coach's Secrets of Attraction. It's fun reading it, but I'm not good at picking up detail which is where my boyfriend comes in. .Paul, Mr Detail, is the perfect person to proof read it [even though Thorsons employ proof readers, I've never met anyone who's as a meticulous as he is] I loved getting my copy edited prose back from my indispensible copy editor Lizzie who had made it readable and simple..she k ... |
