This blog gives me a place to comment on things which strike my fancy, hence the title. Topics may include computer software/hardware, science, space, beer, books/movies/television programs of a geeky nature, or almost anything else. It is not marked as containing adult content but be warned that I occasionally post about beer and sometimes forget to watch my language. I've been writing systems software since the days of core memory, paper tape, and front panel lights/switches.

Scalzi's latest book, Starter Villain, is great fun
I finished John Scalzi's latest book, Starter Villain, yesterday. After careful thought, I rated this book highly both because of the eagerness with which I anticipated it and the sheer
joy it brought me while reading it. I listened to the audiobook version
narrated by Wil Wheaton who invitably enhances SciFi or books aimed at
those of us with geeky interests. Starter Villain is filled with
Scalzi's characteristic humor, entertaining plotting, and a fair amount
of topics to contemplate once the book is finished. In the end, I rated
it this way because I'm still smiling having finished it meanwhile
anticipating his next book.
