5 Minutes with Sugar (OLPC Desktop)


Had the opportunity to try out Sugar Labs Sugar Sugar environment for the One Laptop Per Child program. It’s a simple educationally-oriented desktop now easily installed on a USB thumb-drive . My take? Alright for kids in a group, but too limited for students above elementary school.

The Cave, by José Saramago
The Cave

Nobel Prize in Literature? Seriously? You will waste valuable hours of life reading this unctuously fecal diatribe of all things human.


Brisingr, by Christopher Paolini
Brisingr: or 7 ways to lose your attention

Quite possibly the worst book I’ve ever read. Paolini’s autistic/home-schooled precision in creating shockingly detailed cultures, lands, and histories is EASILY exceeded by his abominable story-telling and pathetic understanding of characters and how to make them believable.


2012: The War For Souls, by Whitley Strieber
2012: The War for Souls

Whitley Strieber, self-proclaimed alien abductee, here writes interdimensional fiction of planetary invasion amongst parallel worlds. A writer possessed by his words finds his writing actuating an alternate earth in which a planetary invasion is taking place only to realize his earth is also in jeopardy. Curious concepts which leave too many incongruities and unanswered questions to be recommended.


The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Giver

Award-winning juvenile fiction which discusses the weighty matters of choice, infanticide, and geriatricide in a way that ultimately leaves the reader to decide in an unbiased fashion. In a utopian culture of the future that maintains a base-line standard of life through self-suppresion and communistic assignment of duties and euthenasia of non-contributing members, young Jonas receives the very rare and enigmatic duty of Receiver. With this new role come rules of a very different nature than the rest of the culture. Ultimately this permits bypass of the emotional blindness and the revelation of the true nature and history of the culture.
