Go south young man.......and read a book on a SmartPhone

I have got into reading books off my HTC smart phone using the Microsoft Reader . It means you always have a book with you (as well as a web browser, blog writer , phone etc.....)

Why aren't there more plays about quantum physics?

Saw an excellent play last night, Hapgood at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. For those who have no heard if it, it is a Tom Stoppard play about spies and physics set in the late 80s. I know of two plays that take their theme from quantum uncertainly, this one and Copenhagen , both nights out I have really...

History of Computing

As well as the usual ever increasing list of "how to" or "what to" tech books that I try to read, I also like to read a bit about the history of Computing. It is always worth looking at the past as well as the future. Currently I am reading High Stakes, No Prisoners , which is about...

There is more to Seattle than the Space Needle and flying fish at Pike Place Market . At the end of the SOA conference today I persuaded Robert to embark on a tourist adventure, to brave the Seattle traffic and go to Archie McPhee " Outfitters of Popular Culture" . It should have been a 20...

How books date

I have been having a phase of reading novel's I read years go , this time it is Neuromancer by William Gibson (published 1984). This choice was triggered by it being reviewed on BBC Radio4's A Good Read , the suggestion of Bill Thompson the BBC technology columnist. I have been surprised by how little...

Microsoft in SCIAM

There seems to be a good deal of Microsoft stuff over the past few editions of Scientific American (SCIAM), and before you ask yes I do live in the UK, but I find Nature a bit too academic for me and New Scientist has too many job adverts.

Time to revisit Microserfs

I was given a copy of JPod by Douglas Coupland for Christmas, now I will not be adding anything to the range of reviews to say it is very much Microserf V2.0 - similar story but it is just that people seem not to work as hard (but are still in the office as they have little life outside work) and the...
