Book Review - Christianish: What If We're Not Really Following Jesus at All? by Mark Steele 
Sat, Feb 6th 2010 1:06p Thomas Duff Now this is a book that is all too timely
in today's culture... Christianish:
What If We're Not Really Following Jesus at All?
by Mark Steele. Based on the behavior of far too many who call themselves
"Christian", we've allowed the term to be turned into something
negative, something it was never intended to be and stand for. The
aspect of a relationship with Christ has been replaced with a set of rules
and regulations (applied with little love or care) that isn't appealing
to anyone. [read] Keywords: agent

Book Review - What's Next . . . For You?: The Gussin Guide to Big Changes, Big Decisions, and Big Fun by Robert and Patricia Gussin 
Sat, Feb 6th 2010 12:13p Thomas Duff I'm not *quite* to the stage of retirement,
but it's definitely getting to the point where I can make it out on the
horizon. And my thoughts have started to wander to the "and
what will I do next?" series of questions. Robert and Patricia
Gussin have a book titled What's
Next . . . For You?: The Gussin Guide to Big Changes, Big Decisions, and
Big Fun that walks you through
what they went through to answer that question... life decisions
that weren't expected, but that they had the cou [read] Keywords: |

Book Review - Think Twice - Lisa Scottoline 
Sat, Feb 6th 2010 10:03a Thomas Duff I normally don't end up reading Lisa
Scottoline's books when they first come out. No real reason... just
don't tend to pick up on them early. But when Amazon Vine had her
latest, Think
Twice, up for review, I figured
I'd get an early jump on this one. Think Twice is an interesting
concept using twins to show how low someone might be able to go to regain
their identity. I probably lost a bit of the impact given that the
characters have a history from other books that I didn't read, bu [read] Keywords: development

Beautiful story of a bagpiper who was late for a funeral 
Tue, Feb 2nd 2010 8:51p Thomas Duff As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral
director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man who had no family
or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the remote countryside
and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods
area, I became lost and being a typical man, did not stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew who were
eating lunch but the hearse was nowhere in sight [read] Keywords: |

Book Review: Blue Ice and Other Stories from the Rink by Frank Ewert 
Sat, Jan 30th 2010 10:00p Thomas Duff When I was contacted by Frank Ewert,
the author of
Blue Ice and Other Stories from the Rink,
asking if I wanted to review his book, I was really trying hard to say
no. I have so many books backed up in my "to be read/reviewed"
list, and I'm trying to cut that down some. But trying to say no
to a hockey book is really hard for me... and it was only a small book...
really. :) Seriously, Blue Ice is an enjoyable compilation
of short story hockey fiction that captures the feel of what ho [read] Keywords: protector

Book Review - The Devil's Punchbowl by Greg Iles 
Sat, Jan 30th 2010 7:20p Thomas Duff Like I needed yet another book to read
on the way home from a conference... But there I was at the airport,
and the book rack kept calling out to me. I ended up succumbing to
the siren call and pick up The
Devil's Punchbowl from Greg Iles.
At 710 pages, this is one LONG paperback novel. But the storyline
was pretty good, and it's kept me interested for a week of bedtime recreational
reading. I think it could have been done in fewer pages, but that
wasn't a horrible drawback in this [read] Keywords: |

Book Review - The Cat Whisperer: The Secret of How to Talk to Your Cat by Claire Bessant 
Sat, Jan 30th 2010 4:40p Thomas Duff This is one of those books that sounded
a lot better in concept than it actually turned out to be... The
Cat Whisperer: The Secret of How to Talk to Your Cat
by Claire Bessant. It's not that there wasn't anything of value here.
It's just that expectations were set a bit too high when I checked
it out from the library...

Suggestions on capturing a screen-sharing session for playback by others? 
Thu, Jan 28th 2010 11:28a Thomas Duff I'm in a position where I have to work
with an off-shore support group for our Notes applications, and our hours
don't overlap well (actually, at all!) I have no doubt that there
will be help desk calls where I will need to ask the user to demo the problem
for me, and then will need to explain it via email to the support people.
What I'd like to be able to do is record
these screen-sharing sessions (or even my own screen session) on my PC,
then package up the video in a reasonable si [read] Keywords: notes
