Comment on In Your Own Words… by austingunternter

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman (1903) “Maxims for Revolutionists”
Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 – 1950)

Glad you’re unreasonable.

Goodreads rocks. I have like over 500 books saved on my lists (the great majority of them unread.)

Amazon bought Shelfari a couple years ago. I’m not sure what their plans are for it, but I still prefer Goodreads.

Good to hear from you, John. We should catch up soon, I’d love to hear how things are going. And I agree…Jacob needs to get back to Austin asap =)

I agree! It is nice to see your thoughts again. I’ve been missing the book/reading recommendations that I enjoyed a while ago.

Fun to stumble back into you now. Well done for taking up the blogging challenge again!

80,000 feet of space! You should organize a good dance party or 2 before you fill it up with machines.

And Jacob: get your butt here. Austin misses you. And I need some encouragement to get back out on the lake.

Good to see you blogging again. I have a personal plan called Austin 2012. That’s the time limit I have set for myself for moving back to Austin.

Wow, looks like a great event. Hats off to your company for their sponsorship, that’s very good of you. I hope the event was a great success.

Comment on I Have Officially Become a Digital Book Snob by Andy

I find your responses to be ridiculous.

Additionally:

1. What about in the case of a nuclear blast? The electromagnetic pulse will render your electronics useless! (Thank you, Ocean’s Eleven)

2. What if you are deserted in the arctic, and need something to burn? Better to have a physical book, because despite its misleading name, the kindle ain’t good kindling.

3. The used books economy. Used books let me sell books I no longer want, and purchase books I want at discounted prices. That combined with the lack of needing to purchase an expensive device give old-school books the definitive economic advantage.

1) The kindle doesn’t run on batteries, it runs on magic.

2) I would suggest GIVING your books away, not loaning them — although I wouldn’t give them to friends, instead you should buy them kindles, books are worthless

3) Only paper books have insects around (whoever heard of a ‘kindle worm’?)
