Thanks for visiting. I'm a recent transplant to the Boston Massachusetts area, living with my boyfriend while he completes his MBA. I'm originally from Utah, I like Apple, FileMaker, writing about my feelings, and eating edamame.
When I went to the Middle of Nowhere, Utah last month I was listening to NPR when the author of the book, “How Starbucks Saved My Life” was interviewed. I can’t clearly remember the interview because I was probably interrupted by the pieces of plastic falling off of my Pontiac from reaching speeds of over fifty-five miles per hour.
Last Saturday, I picked up this book at Barnes and Noble and seriously couldn’t put it down. SML has started interrupting my conversations between him and I by saying, “Have I heard about the Starbucks man? Yes I have…” because I can’t stop talking about this book.
Anyway, I hardly ever recommend a book, but I recommend this one. And for the first time ever, I want to go to New York.
Last night I finished reading iWoz, the memoir of Steve Wozniak. SML got this book for me as a Birthday present. I had asked for it originally until I decided I’d prefer bamboo to a book. He got me both. But the bamboo might be dying.
I don’t normally write about anything that I’ve read because if I did you’d probably know way too much information about what goes on my head. I’ve been a sucker for self-help books ever since I read 'I’m OK, You’re OK' in the tenth grade. But this book is really worth mentioning.
I’m not an engineer or anything, far from it actually, but reading about Steve Wozniak’s thought process was really amazing. I remember after I finished reading the first couple of chapters I thought to myself, “I really like this guy!”
If you’re not sure who Steve Wozniak is, he co-founded Apple Computers – and contributed greatly to what the PC is today. He claims to be the first person to attach a keyboard to a computer, back when he was involved with the Homebrew Computer Club. Anyway, check it out if you’re feeling super geeky.
