Books 061128

off the top of my head, bc i'm blogging a fair bit tonight:

- The Complete Bone (in a single volume) (Jeff Smith)

A lot of fun and a gargantuan effort on Smith's part, but not quite deserving of the Best! Comic! Evar! lauds and laurels its been getting

- Gary Benchley, Rock Star (Paul Ford)

I read Ford in the Morning News before I knew it was Ford, and enjoyed the column. I think i was working at SuperCorporateWorld(TM) at the time. Meant to pick up the book, never did, and then found if for $5 at St. Marks and tore through it in about a day. Light, but a good read. I'll pick up the next Ford book i find.

Ok, disclaimer: the above link-gonhorrea is a result of 1) finding the Flock WYSIWYG editor to be pretty damn handy, and 2) having been reading blogs as if it were my job for about 4 years now, and not really writing that much, I feel as if there's a TON of hyperlinking to attend to. This man probably put that idea into my head when i was an impressionable 18 yr old. (Thanks)

Flock? Really?

I'm attracted to the ease-of-use Flock offers--i spend a lot of time in a web browser, and I'd just as happily write as I do read if it were as effortless as a right-click.  But i've been burned by Flock registration bugs in the past, so I'm a little skeptical.  Hopefully after I log out of this session it won't fuXX0r my account settings as it has in the past.

So this bout of blogging is based on a bit of skepticism.  (And, apparantly, navel-gazing.)

Yesterday I went of a fever-burn of iTunes tagging, and tonight (after an IM from the Millenial Cousin asking for my favorite blogs) the ol' delicious got a tiny bit of love and care.  Wouldn't it be nice if my online web-two-point-oh-i-ness translates into a little real-life get-yrself-organized-ation-ness?

Yes.  Yes it would.

Consumer Lust Breaks In

The reason: Nintendo's new controller. The device resembles a TV remote but with fewer buttons. It relies on wireless technology with built-in motion sensors to translate movement directly onto a TV screen. Wii can be swung like a tennis racket, twirled like a steering wheel, or pointed at the screen like a gun.

The Big Ideas Behind Nintendo's Wii

I haven't owned a console since pneumonia forced the parents to accede to my 4th-grade demands for an 8-bit NES, but for the first time in a long time (PS Streetfighter discs aside), I'm tempted to drop some cash on a video game machine.  Wiiiiiii.

(This is a test-post to see if the new version of Flock has gotten its Right-Click-"Blog This" act together).
