7月25日 Finished Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Just finished the audio book version of Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. While there seems to be some controversy over the amount of truth in the story, if it’s truthful at all, I can say the story was dry. Interesting, but dry. It could be that the subject matter didn’t greatly interest me, but I thought it would. I will have to be different then Leo Laporte who kept talking up the audio book on many podcasts. 7月22日 Just Finished John Grisham's The Appeal
Since moving to Diablo on my N810 I can no longer have Canola2 sync the RSS feeds of my podcasts. I was at a loss, I didn’t want to set up another podcatcher and move them over manually. I also didn’t want to install anything else on my n810 to try and do this for me (you Canola2 folks better be happy for my loyalty). So for lack of anything else I decided to start listening to audio books. I used to listen to audio books in my pre-teen age, trying to cram more books into my skull at the same time. The problem is that I didn’t absorb them the same way as I do the written word. I’m still sure I miss a lot listening to the audio book of something versus reading it, but I get enough of it that it is still enjoyable. I decided to start with John Grisham’s The Appeal. The book is pretty much standard John Grisham fare, if you like his criminal law dramas then I would definitely recommend picking up a copy of it. Pick it up in hardcover or paperback or audiobook from Amazon. 7月2日 I'm Going to Be A FatherOriginal URL: http://creeva.com/2008/07/02/im-going-to-be-a-father/
In the picture above is my maternal grandfather and my great grandfather, it seems I am going to be joining on them on the ability to reproduce and pass down genetic material to the next generation. Yes I am going to be a father, Xie want and annouced the pregnancy on Twitter just a few hours ago with the following message:
So we have announced to the Web 2.0 World (WTW? W2W?) that we are having a baby and doing it in true web fashion. We have known for about 3 weeks and over that time eeked the information out to family and friends. The first person I told was the IPS guys I played SWG with that I have constant e-mail communication with. The first family that knew was my in-laws and followed by Xie’s grandmother (I wish she had a blog i could link to). Then it was ghoulishcharm. From there I told my father and my brother who was also there. I went and told my grandparents last Sunday and drove over to tell my sister, but she already knew it seems that she found out from my father who knew the week before. I did find out from my sisters that my grandparents had already known about the pregnancy (having heard it through her) but yet they acted like they didn’t know anything. Welcome to my family, we can act surprise even if we have known something for months. I know I used to unwrap my Christmas presents before hand and rewrap them - I got that trick from my godmother. |
