DOH!
I just loaded the kindle software on my wife’s ipod touch.   And then loaded the kindle excerpt of my book Urtaru.
You know sometimes I have so much technology around I forget that I can do the simplest things.

Dune…

I’m in the middle of watching the 1984 Dino Di Laurentis/David Lynch version of Dune.  We rented it on the AppleTV.   Funny, after 25 years, it seems a much better movie than what I remember.  The acting is still pretty bad (William Shatner would be considering underacting in this flick)

Only Grant’s memoirs compete…

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur. Hi omnes lingua, institutis, legibus inter se differunt. Gallos ab Aquitanis Garumna flumen, a Belgis Matrona et Sequana dividit.

Star Trek: The Awesome Generation

OK late in the day today I saw the new Star Trek movie. It was a great movie. Excellent story, excellent special effects, hilarious dialogue
Being that it is an altered timeline from the original (by the very nature of the plot) it was actually fresh and not just an in between Jonathan [...]
