Things I wrote

  • Lazarus, volume 4

    12 April 2016

    Not only are we getting to know the Lazarus better, the families better, but also some of the lesser people on the planet.

  • Design for Real Life

    05 April 2016

    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.

  • The Bunker

    04 April 2016

    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.

  • Southern Bastards

    04 April 2016

    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.

  • Market Day

    02 April 2016

    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.

  • A Web for Everyone

    01 April 2016

    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.

  • Red Sparrow

    01 April 2016

    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.

  • Git for Humans

    01 April 2016

    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.

  • Designing for Touch

    28 March 2016

    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.

  • Ancillary Mercy

    25 March 2016

    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.

  • Ancillary Sword

    16 March 2016

    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.

  • Ancillary Justice

    16 March 2016

    I started The Imperial Radch series based on the review on Mandy's site. And Ann Leckie is a great writer.

  • Another year

    05 March 2016

    It's that time of year again for me, another year of my life is starting.

  • Gilead

    12 February 2016

    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.

  • The Golden Specific

    30 January 2016

    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.
