  • The Alienist: A Novel
    The Alienist: A Novel
    by Caleb Carr

    Have you read it? One of the most brilliantly and beautifully written stories, despite taking place in the 1800s, ever put to paper. Carr understands history in ways most of us will only dream about.

  • The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Or On the Segregation of the Queen/A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell Novels)
    The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Or On the Segregation of the Queen/A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell Novels)
    by Laurie R. King

    The first novel in the wonderful Beekeeper's Apprentice series. Written from the perspective of Mary Russell, who falls in love with Sherlock Holmes, this series is (in many ways) better than the original. I can't recommend it highly enough.

  • I Am Legend
    I Am Legend
    by Richard Matheson

    A thousand times better than the movie, with additional stories. A must read for anyone who loves literature and especially horror.

    Amazing. I've owned a bunch, this is the one. Everything about it just works the way it should. It might be small for some of you who think you need to carry your house with you, but for a true, seasoned traveler, you can't get any better for this price, or any other.

    What a great freaking shoe. Comfortable. Anti-odor. Waterproof. Everything about it rocks.

    Eric loves it, I think it rocks. Why not buy it? 

  • Mac Box Set – (with Snow Leopard)

    What can I say? The best operating system (even for a Hackintosh), with the best suite (iWork and iLife) for $140 U.S. - that's CHEAP. What's Windows 7 going to cost... twice that... or more!?

  • Jake Forgotten
    Jake Forgotten
    by John Flowers

    My book. I wrote it. It's not too bad. :)

  • The Liars' Club: A Memoir
    The Liars' Club: A Memoir
    by Mary Karr

    The best memoir ever written. Thoughtful, detailed and amazing. Worth reading!

  • On Writing
    On Writing
    by Stephen King

    The best book about writing that has ever been written. Even if it is Stephen King, it is just amazing. He did write the Dark Tower series, so you know the man has serious talent.

  • The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
    The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
    by Timothy Ferriss

    Amazing book by Timothy Ferriss

  • Lucky or Smart?: Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life
    Lucky or Smart?: Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life
    by Bo Peabody

    Great, short, well-written book about starting companies.

The value and burden of physical things...

Want to buy me something for Christmas? Go to the RIGHT --------->
and hit the DONATE button. Funding my travels is the best present I could ever ask for!

(aside from this NEC 900 Mobile Pro with WiFi ... also available on Amazon and eBay for even less money)

Life Zero #104 - The Value and Burden of Physical Things (Part One) has been posted.

The full podcast can be found in iTunes, of course, or at Personal Life Media.

In other news, I am dropping my Mobile Me account. I cannot justify $100 a year (okay, $99 a year) for something I never really use anymore. Between GMail and DropBox, there is just no point in having Mobile Me... plus, I have long argued it should be free for anyone who buys a Macintosh and $99 for anyone who hasn't. Their pricing is brain-dead for Mac owners.

This means, among other things, LifeZero at me dot com is gone. Please send any future e-mails to ideas at lifezero dot org.

This also means the site for www.unscale.com - which was hosted at Mobile Me - will be folded into this web site over the next day or two. Twangle.app, HD Speed Test and other items will be available, so... if there is a problem... it will be quickly resolved.

Donate to Life Zero to keep the podcasts alive...

 

I am also getting rid of the following domains. Please e-mail funding at lifezero dot org if you are interested in purchasing one of them. I assure you, they are reasonably priced (or we can work out a trade ... I am in the market for a NEC Mobile 780 or 790 PC, shipped to Mexico, for example).

loneronin.net - great google page rank for an effectively unused site

johnsflowers.com - You own John's Flowers? Come and get it.

kindlefeed.net - yes, I own it

pixelhd.com - great name for a private project that never took off

... and, several other great names like;

ThatEffectsShow.com, ThatDesignShow.com, ThatSoundShow.com, ThatTechShow.com

(I will not be using any of these domains in the future, but you could use them!)

For the right price, I would also sell:

genusguild.com - genus, as in species, not genius as in brilliant

casefilms.com - no longer used or in business, reasonable traffic and a great name
