Nanowrimo + Kindle Contest
An exciting start to the first day of voting! 13 total votes which is a great turnout in my opinion. It is still close and is anyone’s game.
My nanowrimo book is going well also. I am 800 words into it and only have 49,200 more words to go! The journey ahead will be long, but I am excited to get wrapped up in this wonderful work of writing. The more I write the more I get trapped in this world that I am creating. The book is taking a slow turn to the dark side, which is scary, and exciting. I cannot wait to see the final product.
Keep on voting, 29 days left to go. Help decide the lucky winner of a Kindle 3 Wifi. :)

Speed is Not Conducive to Wisdom
Speed has become the primary virtue of the modern world. Everything is sacrificed to it. Move fast (and break things, not as a goal but as a consequence). Wisdom requires allowing yourself to be undone by experience: An opinion dismantled by reality. An artif…

What Version History, a YouTube show from The Verge, does really well is revisiting older tech products from today’s perspective without allowing nostalgia to take over. This episode about the Western Electric 500 – the canonical American land…
