- Mám rád falconovskou sérii, které připomíná chandlerovskou serii s Philem Marlow. Lindsey pracuje s podobným slovníkem i stylem, jak Chandler a vůbec jí nevadí, že detektivky zasadila do doby Vespassianova panování ve starém Římě. Snad jen pro zajímavost, knihy se dočkaly i filmového zpracování s Brianem Brownem v hlavní roli a musím říct, že obojí, tedy knihy i film jsou odpočinkové a povedené.Už se těším až se začtu |

- Nechci se opakovat, ale tenhle příběh má zase s realitou hodně společného. Všechny postavy jsou reálné a já si s nimi jen trošku pohrál. Dokonce i jednotlivé etudy se klidně můžou stát, ale s tou kapavkou jsem to přehnal... Ani jsem nechtěl aby se nastěhovala. Ženská v bytě a ještě k tomu v mém bytě je anomálie. |

- There is currently a lot of hype about social software. There's Friendster and google's orkut and some seems to like it and others think these applications are too complicated to be useful. I personally currently don't use any of these online community applications, because at the moment I think I wouldn't have enough time to really use it often enough to get some benefit from them. The one social software I currently use is the social bookmark manager del.icio. |

- Daniel Gross on Slate: HCA CEO Jack Bovender came close to calling for a single-payer system, though he still couldn't utter the phrase "socialized medicine." "Hospitals have become the ultimate safety net for health care services for the vast majority of America's more than 44 million uninsured," he said. "It is time for all sectors of society, both public and private, health care and non-health care, to participate in solving this societal issue, by providing affordable health insurance for all Americans and more equitably sharing this growing cost to society." HCA's profit warning points to several other reasons why big business will eventually accept a Hillary-like scheme. |

- Ah well, Cory Doctorow's 0wnz0red didn't win in the Novelette category - Jeffrey Ford's "The Empire of Ice Cream" did. Still, "0wnz0red" was one of the high points of 2002, a year that was what Cory would call "craptacular" for me - and for a lot of us (but hey, we're still alive). I read a draft of the story in August '02 and suggested to Andrew Leonard at Salon that it was so topical to what they were reporting on - digital rights, gene hacking, government and corporate control of tech powers - that they should run the story, even though it was science fiction rather than tech/biz journalism. To my surprise, Andrew agreed. It made my year, really. |
