this ain't your dad's nuke.

Now I see regular visitors on the referrer logs, my resolve to update daily is strengthening. And a visit to the discount book store yielded something worth mentioning, for a buck, no less - a copy of 'Gadget:The Third Force' by Marc Laidlaw, the _excellent_ cyberpunk writer, nowadays best known for his writing work at Valve Software on 'Half-Life', one of the best PC games ever. I actually interviewed him before 'Half-Life's release, back in '97 or so, and haven't had a chance to check out many of his novels, so was delighted to find this semi-rarity, based on the Lynch-ian 'Gadget' CD-ROM done, 'Myst'-stylee, when 'multimedia' was the next big thing.
