I took the cute little Saturn to the garage today and had its oil changed. It's all happy now. Also changed Stanley's water and then watered the pouty purple plant.
While I was waiting for the oil change, I finished reading
Click Here, but haven't had a chance to write up a review yet. I
did type up a list of the
world's worst technology metaphors. I can't believe that no one cut those from that book!
Comparatively speaking though, the book's stock rose when I picked up my next technology read:
The E-Mail Mystery: Nancy Drew Digest #144.
Oh. my. goodness. I had such pleasant memories of Nancy Drew from childhood. I read every Nancy Drew mystery I could get my hands on. I sat down to begin this Nancy Drew-meets-technology novel, and was ready to put it down on page one. I've never seen so much tedious exposition. The technology in the book is fairly predictable. We hear of floppy disks, dialup modems, and booting up. And of course, there is e-mail, given the books title. I may give up on this one. I'll give it a bit more time to grow on me, and then I may put Nancy Drew back on the nostalgic shelves.
