Well, I’ve got my print debut in Macworld in the May 2004 issue. Page 85, in Geek Factor, to be exact.
It’s a story on the Tatra Mac G4 — just a small three graf thing, but still, I’m pretty proud of it. 🙂
I’ll have a couple more things in the June and July issues.
In other news, I got the B2 internship, and Time Inc. is footing the bill. Good stuff. So Rachel R. and I will overlap about two or three weeks in July — I start on May 17.
It’s looking like unless a newspaper/magazine/wire service in the Bay Area (any takers?) wants to give me a job that I’ll be off to Columbia come August. I’d still prefer a job. Really. But Columbia isn’t so bad, and NYC would be a lot of fun. I’ve sent out 13 rŽsumŽs in the last two days. We’ll see.
Over break I finally finished Cryptonomicon. Yes, it’s a good book — but it’s also about 400 pages too long. Around page 750 I was ready for it to be over, but by that point, I had invested so much of my life (I started it in August ’03!) into that book that I finished it. On the plane ride back from Hartford, I also read Alpha Beta. Right now, I’m 125 pages into Katie Hafner’s Cyberpunk which has been very entertaining so far. I found it at Harvard Bookstore for $6.50. I took it to class, and had her autograph it on Wednesday, and she wrote “For Cyrus – Stay out of trouble. Katie.”
Next on the list is Joseph Menn’s All The Rave, which he also autographed for me. And then after that is the latest political book du jour, Against All Enemies, which I picked up last night at Costco for $14.99.
Too bad I have a thesis to write, work, and some classes to get in the way of such good reading.
