Things I wrote
-
Not only are we getting to know the Lazarus better, the families better, but also some of the lesser people on the planet.
-
Yesterday afternoon, on a rainy spring day here in Portland, I got under a blanket and read through <em>Design for Real Life</em> by Eric Meyer and Sara Wachter-Boetcher. This is an important book, especially if you have never thought through how the design of the the thing you are making can translate into many different situations and scenarios.
-
I read my first title from Oni Press over the weekend, <em>The Bunker</em> by Joshua Hale Fialkov with art by Joe Infurnari. It's a great dystopia of the future going horribly, but the future is speaking with the present.
-
I'm going to be honest and say that after reading the first volume, I'm still unsure about the comic. Comixology has the second volume for a pretty good price, so I'm considering reading it digitally or from the library if I do keep going.
-
It is an absolutely lovely story of a man in Eastern Europe in the early 20th century who's losing the way he earned a living, no one will buy his rugs.
-
As I continue on the quest to catch up on all the webbish reading I have started or stacked up, I finished <em>A Web for Everyone</em> by Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery and it was a great refresher on accessibility.
-
I've no idea how I discovered <em>Red Sparrow</em>, but I did and over the last week I read through the spy thriller. But I know it made it on my list because one of the main characters was a woman.
-
I first read a draft of <em>Git for Humans</em> before it was published, David Demaree asked me to read through and provide a quote for the site about the book. It's a fantastic book and I reread it yesterday to highlight and be able to do a review justice.
-
Clark's well known in the world of the web for his passion about interaction design and in particular all the new and varied ways we relate to, use, and design for the multi device world we live in. In <em>Designing for Touch</em>, he doesn't disappoint with a small volume absolutely packed with information.
-
The final book of The Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie, <em>Ancillary Mercy</em> is a great wrap up, tying together a lot of different threads well. But I will say, of the three books in the series, it is the weakest. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, but the story didn't capture me quite as much as the previous books.
-
I finished <em>Ancillary Justice</em> and eagerly put a hold on the next volume, <em>Ancillary Sword</em> at the library to be able to get to it as soon as possible.
-
I started The Imperial Radch series based on the review on Mandy's site. And Ann Leckie is a great writer.
-
It's that time of year again for me, another year of my life is starting.
-
As I read <em>Gilead</em> I was reminded of thoughtful, thinking faith. I was reminded of all the good things I find in many of the people I've known in my life. Not all Christians are what we see in the media, especially in an election year.
-
Last fall while on vacation I picked a book at random from my library list and read it, <em>The Glass Sentence</em>. And as I said then, I really enjoyed the characters and the story. Well, Sophia and friends are back in <em>The Golden Specific</em> and it's just as much fun.
