Very Ordinary Men (The Point Magazine)
A review of Walter Isaacson's biography of Elon Musk in which the
reviewer actaully criticizes the biography, and not the man, for
producing an uninteresting hagiography. Money quote, "Walter Isaacson
is the perfect writer for the biographies of our times because he
appears to be a born sycophant, and fate decreed that he would be in the
right position, at the right moment, to spread as much propagandistic
bullsh%$ as possible."
Falling Down is a great movie. I saw as an engineer working in defense who had been laid off. I walked out of the theater feeling like I had been punched in the gut.
This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.
It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy.
A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
