just to be clear
if a website offers to email you a whitepaper of some sort, and you provide a bogus email address, you will not get the whitepaper.
your enthusiasm inspires people.
one thing that strikes me about dj danger mouse, of the grey album fame, is that he also ripped off his name from someone else. i’m just saying.
pattern recognition by william gibson is actually the first book i’ve read by him (having not read neuromancer yet). and once again i find myself reading a book where the protagonist works in marketing.
i thought cayce, the protagonist, was a very richly drawn and interesting character, but most of the other characters were a bit thin. the locations and experiences brought more to the story than the other characters did. the writing (the language) is just fantastic.
overall, it is a book that i would recommend, although i found it to ultimately be a little bit unsatisfying.
they’re turning the space across the corner from me into a cafe for some kind of shoot. (i would guess a commercial based on the generic-ness of the signage.)
