Justine and I went to see The Prestige this weekend with Leslie & Ted. It seemed like an interesting plot, but I think I unraveled most of the plot in my head before the movie was over. It was still an interesting movie, though.
I picked up a couple books this weekend too. The first one is I, Woz – a biography on Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple. He’s a nerd’s nerd and has inspired a generation of computer geeks to pick up a soldering iron and make stuff that beeps and blinks.
The second one is A Brief History of the Time, by Stephen Hawking. I can’t believe I haven’t read this yet, but I haven’t. I’m looking forward to reading both books in the near future.
Justine and I also stopped by Issues, our favorite magazine shop in Houston. We both walked out with an armload of magazines for the coming week.
I added a few podcasts to my iTunes over the last few weeks. I haven’t gotten a chance to listen to them all, but I’m hoping to work my way through them soon. Here’s a smattering of the new podcasts:
Escape Pod – Free original sci/fi stories each week.
PseudoPod – Free original horror stories each week
R U Sirius Podcast – The mastermind behind the legendary hipster technoculture magazine Mondo 2000
The Sound of Young America – A podcast about things that are awesome (their own description, not mine).
This American Life – The NPR show is now offering their weekly shows for free as a podcast (they used to cost a couple bucks, but are free now).
This week in Tech – Self-explanatory, really.
The Productivity Show – Ideas for getting things done.
That’s about it for now. Back to work tomorrow morning. I’m sure the internet will be waiting for me when I sit down to my desk to greet it.
G’night all.
P.S. – Oh, and my pal Scott started up a blog. You should visit him and say hello.
