Stargirl | Show wrap-up
Monday, Dec 19 2022, 10:06 comics, CW, DC, Entertainment, HBO, review, stargirl, Television It seems like the DC television show universe is slowly being killed off at the CW. Most of the Arrowverse shows are cancelled, with the last one standing - the Flash - wrapping up in 2023 I think. I was thinking that these shows could live on HBO Max, but even HBO Max is being gutted (or so it seems). Anyway. This three-season television show was kind of fun. It follows

MacOS Copland
Sunday, Dec 18 2022, 10:03 Classic, Copland, demo, emulation, MacOS, promo, youtubeA blast from the past! I remember reading the Mac magazines (MacWorld, MacUser, and MacAddict) back in 1996 and waiting eagerly the next incarnation of MacOS. While many of the ideas from this went into the actual MacOS 8, Copland never made it out of the lab. You can find installation discs for this on the web today in various repositories which is great, but I am wondering how one goes

Education for Critical Consciousness by Paulo Freire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a rather short book, as is the case with most of Paolo Freire's books, but it packed a rather big punch. I listened to this on the way to and from work as an audiobook, but I think that this kind of book is probably consumed a bit more slowly, maybe with the addition of

Time for holiday parties!
Tuesday, Dec 13 2022, 09:51 cheer, holidays, university, Work It's time for the annual holiday party at work. I did not see any invitations to submit entries for the gingerbread house competition (something that was done before the pandemic), so I suspect no gingerbread houses this year. Maybe next year ;-)

Star Trek: Borg by Hilary J. Bader
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the audio component of the FMV (full motion video) game Star Trek Borg which came out in 1996 (if I am not mistaken). Basically, strip out all the little gameplay elements and what you have left is a nice little movie. This is the audio component of that. The video is available

Gears of War: The Rise of Raam by Kurtis J. Wiebe
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This comic compilation was fine. In the game, I don't recall really getting a ton of the backstory for the locusts given that the entirety of the story gets told from the human perspective. As such, I found it a little hard to care a ton about the story in this collection. Interesting,

Gears of War Omnibus, Vol. 2 by Karen Traviss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed both volumes of the Gears of War omnibuses. The first omnibus bridges the gap between Gears of War 1 and 2, followingMarcus Fenix and Delta Squad in the battle against the Locusts! Find out what happened after the Lightmass Bombing and how the Locusts will react to this devastating

iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It by Steve Wozniak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I rather enjoyed this book. Not knowing a lot about Woz, it was fun to discover a seemingly curious down-to-earth maker and tinkerer. The practical jokester side did surprise me a bit. I would have liked
