Well, I’ve got my print debut in Macworld in the May 2004 issue. Page 85, in Geek Factor, to be exact. <\/p>\n
It’s a story on the Tatra Mac G4<\/a> — just a small three graf thing, but still, I’m pretty proud of it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I’ll have a couple more things in the June and July issues.<\/p>\n In other news, I got the B2<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 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 r\u017dsum\u017ds in the last two days. We’ll see.<\/p>\n Over break I finally<\/i> finished Cryptonomicon<\/i><\/a>. 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<\/i><\/a>. Right now, I’m 125 pages into Katie Hafner’s Cyberpunk<\/i><\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n Next on the list is Joseph Menn’s All The Rave<\/i><\/a>, which he also autographed for me. And then after that is the latest political book du jour, Against All Enemies<\/i><\/a>, which I picked up last night at Costco for $14.99. <\/p>\n Too bad I have a thesis to write, work, and some classes to get in the way of such good reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I’ve got my print debut in Macworld in the May 2004 issue.
