The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman: a short review

Silly, but lots of fun. Leaves a surprising number of loose ends unresolved, but that’s probably harmless.

A Microsoft Home User Program Rant

Beg pardon, folks? Whatever can you be “reviewing” that takes four days? You’re waiting for HR to confirm my existence, perhaps? (Should I call Enrique and push things along?)
