a book

This is a kinda weird thing for ME to be writing about. But, I have been reading an amazing book, and I am not yet finished, but it's a story that isn't over, so I guess I feel as though I am just catching up. It is Don't Ignore My Mind by Bob Kaplowitz. In our culture today we look up so much to celebrities or old dead people, but I have never been witness to a more amazing story then the one I am reading right now. So, if you like to read (not me) or you don't (me), then at least read this book. It is worth so much more then reading about General Lee or Brad Pitt.

That PC Guy

The guy from the PC commercials, John Hodgman, has written another book. His first book, Areas of My Expertise, an attempt to compile all world knowledge (minus sports) into a single 264 page book, was great (it was a free download on iTunes a while back). His new book is an extension on this idea (containing history, because we keep getting more of it, and the future, because we still have some left). He reads his own book on the audiobook and is accompanied by Jonathan Coulton, his friend from college who enjoys an underground/cult music following in the nerd/computer programmer/comic book reading world.

Here's their recent appearance at Wired promoting the new book:
