Wallace Wang and the My New series

Posted by vmac under WordGames

Wrote a book review. Yup, after all these years – I’m back in the critic’s saddle again.

The review is on BlogCritics.com. Here’s a tasty little piece of the piece reviewing My New Mac, The Snow Leopard Edition and My New iPhone - both books with the subtitle: 52 Projects to Get You Started.

What can we learn from the back covers of Mr. Wang’s books? Curiously, there’s quite a bit of information here. Not quotes from famous geeks recommending purchase, instead we read a “Sustainable Forestry Initiative” logo proclaiming the books construction is of Certified Fiber Sourcing. And there’s more. These are RepKover books “I LAY FLAT”. This is a durable binding that does not snap shut. For me, that puts these instruction manuals a shelf above some of the others I’ve purchased lately.

Then there is the About the Author blurb. Wallace Wang not only writes computer books, he’s a stand-up comic. Of course he is. He uses a Mac. John Houseman is the only comedian who wittingly uses a PC and that is, arguably, because he’s paid to pimp Microsoft. (Please excuse that little bit of geek humor, folks…)

Brown Street Boogie.

Posted by vmac under WordGames

Our little haven, this remote little town of wonder, is getting a dog park. Who knew? It took outsiders, yup, those folks who move here from *somewhere else* and who have *weird accents* to push the populace into approving such a thing. The best news is – it’s a couple blocks from our house.

All my dogs will benefit from dog park excursions and exercise with other canines.

Good deal.

Assemblagist Activities

Posted by vmac under WordGames, ephemera

This is a defining moment.

New work online at my assemblagist.org site. I kinda’ like it, but it’s just a peek into Dr. Eckart Finial’s work…
