Back in the saddle

I've broken the promise I made to myself about this blog, I didn't write for a couple of days. No big deal, I still plan to update it regularly, I just don't want to go down the path of putting it off. This is supposed to be some sort of writing exercise, after all.
I finished The Rise of Endymion late last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I heartily recommend the entire series to sci-fi fans, or readers in general. It was one of those experiences with media that stays with you, I'm sure I'll be thinking about the books for a while going forward.
I also listened to the first episode of the Out of the Game podcast, with similar results. I had a long drive to see friends in Madison and decided to indulge myself, (I'd been putting it off, like a good book that you know you're going to love). Not to go off too far into the podcast fan-boy territory, but it was a really good show. The sound quality could have been better, and I'm not sure what they were going for with the intro music, but the content was well worth it.
The theme was Born before Digital, and was all about Facebook, other social networks, and the internet in general changing the way we interact with people, for better or worse. For those of us who were around before all this stuff, myself included, it's quite a good listen. I'm also glad they're keeping it off-topic discussion for now, I've got enough podcasts to listen to that focus soley on gaming.
Anyway, the clock on the wall (or rather the clock in the bottom-right of my screen), tells me it's time to get to work.
