What a long year

Lenn had a long year in 2005- and he has only covers the first 6 months! I’m interested to see the next entry…

James Frey and (good/bad) publicity

Joe Wikert: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity, right? Given all the press James Frey and his book A Million Little Pieces are getting these days, I’d have to agree with that statement.”

Having read this book, I can definitely say that I enjoyed it but feel a bit cheated now since I believed it was (mostly) true while reading it. But if I hadn’t read it, I’d probably be more interested now than ever. I wouldn’t have even known about it in the first place if it wasn’t for Oprah- my wife never misses a show on our TiVo.

This also reminds me- if I ever write my memoir, I’ll try not to embellish by claiming to be an A-list blogger or software genius!

Back to blogging

Ole Eichorn is blogging again. As always, he provides a great digest of interesting stuff.

The historical revisionists in Congress

R2 and Longhorn Server

Channel 9: “Think you know everything about Windows Server? You might be surprised by the innovations this team has shipped and is planning on shipping in Longhorn Server.”
