Book Reviews
Getting paid to read and write about books… yeah, it’s a pipedream. But, once upon a time, I did that for the likes of BookPage, Kirkus Reviews, and The Plain Dealer. Here’s a review that quotes one of my reviews. The world is weird.

Technology
Plasma Screens and the Future of Display Technology, Tech News World
Email: Still the One for Developers, Linux Insider
A number of my articles for the Tech News World group of (then, print([!!]) magazines can be found at the publisher’s website. When I look at the list now, I am struck by how much has stayed the same. Twenty years after writing about early CRM implementations I know they are still quite problematic, and they don’t necessarily benefit users or consumers. Artificial caregivers? Well, some advances have helped both patients and medical professionals – others, not so much. And handheld learning devices? I’m not even gonna go there.
“If our bodies functioned like computers, we’d be extinct” is one of my favorite quotes from an interview. See the whole thing in the article What’s Good About Computer Viruses?
