Submitted by scott on Tue, 03/24/2009 - 8:03pm.This is a little different as the wine name Alluvium is somewhat unique for a California wine. This was a very nice wine and I enjoyed it.

Survival Straps
Submitted by scott on Tue, 03/24/2009 - 3:37pm.I ordered and received an interesting new bracelet from Survival Straps. I read an article about them on Wired http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/survival_straps_paracord_bracelet and I liked the idea since I always have ropes and survival gear around.

I got a wide bracelet in two shades of tan so that it blends in a little more with my skin tone. The big metal shackle sort of stands out though. I'll probably order up some 550 para cord of my own and weave up a couple for the kids. The shackles are pretty standard marine versions.

The Concrete Jungle
Submitted by scott on Fri, 03/20/2009 - 9:14am.I just finished reading The Concrete Jungle by Charles Stross. I really like his style of writing so I find it pretty easy to just blow through books and stories of his. This story has an interesting twist like a Men In Black story based in the UK.

Anda's Game
Submitted by scott on Fri, 03/13/2009 - 7:11pm.I just finished reading Anda's Game by Cory Doctorow from his book Overclocked.

This reminds me so much of playing World of Warcraft and being in a big guild. I haven't played in a while as I concentrate on finishing up an iPhone app but I did have a lot of fun with it and the story brings back some fun memories.

When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth
Submitted by scott on Fri, 03/13/2009 - 7:03pm.I just finished reading When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow from his book Overclocked.
http://www.feedbooks.com/book/335
I enjoyed the story and found it an interesting read. I'm not sure I would expect even a group of sysadmins to know anything about survival but with a little Google help I'm sure they could figure it out.
