david:

he's a very interesting person to read. I do NOT read or follow blogs but I really enjoy his a lot, even when he kinda blows a gasket, hey who doesn't!! haha! I think you might enjoy it. One thing I enjoy is he has a sense of humor/bemusement about most things so that helps a lot when presenting an opinion or position with which I won't agree.

Of course I also enjoy Spider Robinson's blog and especially his podcasts where he very often reads his or the books of others. I think for him to keep up the podcasts has been good for his soul since losing he much beloved wife Jeanne to, as I recall, pancreatic cancer.

Plus Spider and I could well have been twins separated at birth only decades apart. hahaha...but we're both a tad more than half-a-bubble off center.

anyway, back to the Cr-48 it was nice to read a cogent commentary on the device without any sort of bias. Scalzi actually ran it through the paces. But like I expected it's still rough and is totally helpless w/o web access.
