Hopefully, they’ve turned off the “you are not listening to this podcast enough so we’ll stop downloading it” option. I never liked that option.
Update: No, Apple did NOT turn off that option.
Ode to David Weber
David Weber.
He writes books.
He writes very good books.
I tried Off Armageddon Reef from Audible. It was a gamble. The story sounded like a good one although it seemed heavily based on something like a medieval type time period. Not my thing. I tried it anyway. I loved the story.
The story didn’t end and I quickly found out that there was another book.
By Schism Rent Asunder. I bought it.
This book wasn’t quite as long but it was even better.
It’s still not the end. Now, I have to wait for another book.
David Weber. I will wait for your book. I will complain about the wait. I may even curse your name.
I will still buy your book because your books don’t suck.
At Home…Sick
Stuck at home today. Taking medication and hoping that it clears my congestion away.
It’s hard to do the job I have without being able to walk around. The congestion is making that task amazingly hard and difficult.
Hopefully, I’ll be up and around tomorrow morning. In the meantime…
…let’s catch up on blogging, shall we?
Michael Crichton: R.I.P.
One of my favorite authors has passed.
from The Chicago Tribune…
LOS ANGELES – Michael Crichton, the doctor-turned-author of bestselling thrillers such as “The Terminal Man” and “Jurassic Park” and a Hollywood writer and director whose credits include “Westworld” and “Coma,” has died. He was 66.
Crichton died in Los Angeles on Tuesday “after a courageous and private battle against cancer,” his family said in a statement.
For nearly four decades, the 6-foot-9 writer was a towering presence in the worlds of publishing and filmmaking.
“There was no one like Crichton, because he could both entertain and educate,” Lynn Nesbit, Crichton’s agent since the late ’60s, told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. “His brilliance was indisputable, and he had a grasp of so many subjects — from art to science to technology.
He will be missed.
