Tonya and PQBON's WebLog
It has happened I've gotten older. I don't know when this will be posted since, I'm at Tonya's place and she has no meaning full net connection at least not one that is meaning full to my PowerBook.
I'm almost done reading one of four or so books I got for Christmas. Metamandatosh I suck for getting this wrong! Ken gave me Microserfs by Douglas Coupland (one of my favorite authors). I'm about 40 pages from the end.
The story is interesting. As usuasl Coupland gives a deep first person view into the narrators mind and it is hard to tell the difference between what the characters believe and what Coupland believes and is trying to tell us. The story does reveal a lot about the San Francisco bay area from the computer geeks perspective. He does a good job capturing the life vs job conflict and the feel of working at a tiny startup that is constantly fighting for every dollar it needs to stay afloat.
