Question of the week

Do I want to go ahead and get a Palm Treo cell phone, or do I want to wait until the Palm Centro is available for Verizon? Right now it's only available for Sprint, and there's no way I'm switching to Sprint.

Bookly stuff

"Charlotte Square marks the West End of the New Town (so-called because it was new when it was built in the 1760s: Edinburgh has history the way cats have bad breath)."

Just a line from Halting State to whet your interest.

Alexander and the Wonderful, Marvelous, Excellent, Terrific Ninety Days - of interest only to fans of Judith Viorst, really, but if you are one, then it's lightly amusing harmless stuff.
The Accidental Time Machine - Joe Haldeman. Some nice bits, overall not bad, I like most of the ending but not the deus ex machina which is, I kid you not, a telepathic hologram of Jesus. Our time traveler's stops along the way include the Massachusetts Institute of Theosophy, and a New Mexico that's a suburb of LA where it's 100% live-auction ebay all the time.
