Not So Much a Secret

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books|Movies

An Australian woman, Rhonda Byrne, has written a book, made a “movie” and appeared a couple of times on Oprah talking about “The Secret” (Book • Audio • Movie). The movie is a very abridged version of the book and both are an incredibly long way to illustrate the laws of attraction. In short if [...]

Needful Things

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books

I’m about halfway through the book “Needful Things”, by Stephen King. It’s the second time reading it, the first being over ten years ago when it was first published. I don’t often re-read books. I find that once I start, everything comes flooding back and the book is complete in my head less than a [...]

iWoz Amazed

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books|Daily Life|Technology

Finished reading iWoz – the autobiography of Steve Wozniak. As you all know (well some of you do, the others should!) Steve was the creator of the Apple I and the Apple II, computers that changed the way we live today. What you might not know is along the way he created a lot of [...]

iWoz Here

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books

Go Woz… a new book called iWoz published this week. Guess I’ll have to pick up a copy. The Apple story is one of those that shows the geek with the idea should keep it to himself and run… but then would I be typing this on a PowerMac G5 if Woz had? Probably not. [...]

Conversations with God

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books|Movies|Rants

The Descent

Posted by: Tyroga In: Books|SciFi

The book by Jeff Long -> Not the movie which seems to borrow parts of the book but not give Jeff any credit. The book has been on my shelf for around three years, unread. I didn’t buy it, back when I was working for Murdoch Magazines it was sent to Live This (a short-lived, [...]
