Marple
Update on my iPhone puzzle games post: There is actually a remake of the Palm OS game Hercule, and it is called Marple (Universal app for both iPhone and iPad). Shockingly, this post was made possible by the “Genius” app … Continue reading

Zoë Keating – Into the Trees
Ever since I’d stumbled upon her live performance of Escape Artist for Wired, I’ve been looking forward to be able to actually buy the song. Now the album it’s on, called “Into the Trees”, is out. =) It’s full of … Continue reading
Joe Abercrombie – Best Served Cold
It’s as enjoyable as the “First Law” trilogy; he stills has that fascination for broken / crippled characters (but as every reviewer mentioned them it’s only natural he sticks to what’s been working) — and unsurprisingly this book is quite … Continue reading

Regina Spektor – Far (+misc)
Piano-pop music (a bit similar to Ben Folds). Really like the album, but the incessant repetition of some of the lyrics goes on my nerves, as do the Hallelujahs. Stand-outs: Dance Anthem of the 80′s, Eet, The Calculation. Other music … Continue reading

Solid-State Drives and You
While solid-state drives (SSDs) seem to be all the rage in net-/laptops at the moment, most of their advantages (mostly negligible access times) also make sense for a desktop system, whereas their disadvantages (price / small size) are not as … Continue reading

Richard Morgan – The Steel Remains
Fairly short book, and about 3 quarters of it feel like exposition (although there’s plenty of things happening) and build-up, but it covers a lot of ground; a fair amount of it in flashbacks. Nevertheless, it ends in a nice, … Continue reading

Dan Simmons – Olympos
This is gonna be a bit of a rant… First off, it’s not as good as Ilium, but it’s still a fast-paced page turner. If you skip all the useless prose. It isn’t Science Fiction. It’s Future Fantasy or something. … Continue reading

Alastair Reynolds – The House of Suns
As usaul, hard SF-ish. Gives a very good impression of time- and space-implications of galaxy-wide colonisation using relativistic travel. There’s a reveal about two-thirds in (complete with “sit down for this”) which on first thought is a bit “meh!”, but … Continue reading

Tekkon Kinkreet
An amazing movie. Very enjoyable, but slightly fragmented (with many fades to black separating scenes) and very surreal. I’m a bit sad that many people won’t bother with the film because it seems to make very little sense in the … Continue reading

Alastair Reynolds — The Prefect
I finished reading Alastair Reynolds’ “The Prefect” yesterday. It’s set in the Revelation Space universe (in the Glitter Band, before the Melding Plague) and comes in fairly short at ~400 pages (which I read in two suitably epic evening sessions). … Continue reading

My PS3 impressions – End of Day 1
Hardware – Heavy, although it doesn’t seem much bigger than my 360 when horizontal. Although upright it seems much more massive. I won’t be lugging this back to my parents’ for the weekend. The form itself is odd, and always … Continue reading
