Today my publisher called and told me that the book is doing well. This is good. They’re happy, so I’m happy. I’m watching Toy Story with my son right now, and for the first time ever he is sitting through it – and is happy doing so. He’s happy, so I’m happy. But until this […]
After spending some time this week going through all of the items I brought back from Macworld, I’ve started to put together some thoughts on them. Over the next two weeks I’ll be writing reviews for many of the gadgets, books, and apps that I received during that time. Here are just some of the
