Spreading the disease

Every time I listen to the Infection podcast only book by Scott Sigler, I get the words to Queensryche stuck in my head... "Spreading the disease, Everybody needs, But no one wants to see".

Infection is a truly infectious book.. a must 'read' so to speak. Scott keeps you on your seat... straining at the earphones to get MORE... tell you more about the triangles... more about the voices... anything. 22 episodes of gore, blood and violence.

In my mind, Scott is 'it'. He is the new breed of author that I've been looking for. I was, what I call, a fan of the Techno Thrillers. Those novels filled with modern technology, current style events, and action. Scott melds it all together. In his previous books, Earthcore and Ancestor I was always wanting more... I had become, like other Sigler fans, an Ancestwhore, an EarthCrack junkie, and now a full flegged InfectHead.

Scott has a wonderful style that keeps you gripped... wanting more. Scott becomes your dealer, your pimp. You don't mind... you want more.

Fun with Linux

I have taken to install SuSE Linux 10.1 on my Toshiba satellite M45-S265 laptop.

Along the way I have discovered that, like Windows, just because there is an update or patch available dows not mean you need to install it. To that end I have goofed up my laptop a few times and reinstalled SuSE 10.1 a few times.

Each time the install was a breeze. I cant wait to try WINE and stop medding with the system.

Good Books

I have been reading, okay LISTENING to, a few Podiobooks. These are audio books, but for your iPod. They are FREE to download and listen to, however you are asked to make a donation to the side for each book... and the author gets at least half of what you donate.

Right now I have several on my iPod. Top among them are:

• Singularity - An action, sci-fi book about the Tunguska Event.
• Earthcore - What lies beneath the surface?
• Ancestor - Genetic engineering gone wrong?

I have finished Burn and A Different Point of View as well as having added about 5 more books to listen to while at work.

I whole heartedly recommend each of these books. They are very well done. My only gripe is the end of Burn, I wanted to hear more!! I was really immersed in the universe created for this book. A Different Point of View is a look at the Star Wars Empire from a Sand Trooper's (TD0013) point of view. I was laughing as I drove listening to this.

If you look at the right side bar ( ---> ) you'll see a listing of the Podiobooks I have out. The oldest are at the bottom, with new books added at the top.

Blog Buttons

Here are a few blog buttons that I have found or made for my blog. They sum up who I am.

Maybe I'll get them added to the side bar... who knows...
