[*][url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0937404675/bujinkanmartia0b/]Droidmaker[/url] – I heard about this book some time ago on the [url=http://www.twit.tv]This Week in Tech Podcast[/url] and I finally picked it up a couple of weeks ago when I placed a large order at Amazon. If you’re interested in technology, computers or film making (I like them all!) you will find this story intriguing and thoroughly involving. I’m about half way through the book and enjoying every minute. The only complaint I have is that the author does not go into enough detail about the technology that goes into making these techniques happen. Perhaps he thought it might bore the more casual reader. Personally I would like to have known more about the development of early CGI models and motion control camera rig motors. Maybe I’m just weird like that….
[*]The Gunslinger Series – I waited for Stephen King to complete this series so that I could read the entire thing without having to wait years between each episode. It’s got its high points and its low points, but generally I’m liking the story and characters. I’m currently on the third installment.
