Alt + Ctrl + X Here’s a choice quote from Dave Shea at SXSW:
“I don’t like looking at web pages in print”
I’m so glad that Dave has such a high brow view of print design. If you like to learn more you can read his book The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web where every single page has a website on it.
While Dave Shea is above looking at websites in a book he’s not above trying to sell them to the masses. I’m so glad I bought his book now. I want a refund.
I’ve Stopped reading Kate Elliot’s new book Spirit Gate. I read about half of the 7 books in the Crown of Stars series in high school. I really like the stories Kate Elliot has to tell. She really creates very full characters and realistic worlds. Her female characters are particularly strong and realistic in a genera where they are often used as props.
I just can’t read it fast enough. I’m a slow reader and Kate writes dense books. Only getting through a couple of pages on the commute to work and back is just not satisfying enough. I wish it wasn’t the case but I think I’m going to have to sadly give up on Kate Elliot.
Ug. Eragon was cliché and unimaginative. I can’t believe it gets so much praise. I would not recommend this book to anyone who reads a lot of fantasy. I’ve such a long list of problems with the book it’s not even worth going in to.
