Reviews of books and comics I've read, movies and shows I've watched, places I've been to, software and products I've used, games I've played, restaurants I've eaten at, businesses where I've shopped, and so on.
Latest
- Microsoft Surface Go 2 ★★★★☆ A great ultra-light Windows 10 tablet with detachable keyboard. Or an annoyingly slow Windows 11 tablet.
- Interference
★★★★☆
Sue Burke
An intriguing followup to Semiosis that weaves several drastically different sentient species (both plant and animal) into a story about factions, community, freedom, communication and war. - Enafore ★★★★☆ Minimalist web front-end for Mastodon and compatible servers. Not as capable as Elk, but more stable.

Notes
Dates and cross-posting: The oldest reviews have been moved or copied over from my blog or third-party sites where I originally wrote them (social media posts, reviews at Yelp or Amazon, etc.), and I've kept most of the original publication dates. When I make substantial changes (not just fixing typos or updating links or tags) I add an updated date to the article.
Sometimes I still cross post (usually abbreviated versions) to sites like Bookwyrm, AlternativeTo, or store listings, where a review is more likely to be seen.
Not AI: Yes, these are a real person's opinions. Yes, the website has em-dashes and curly quotes. Proper typography predates AI by decades, even on the web.
