[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Oderint, dum metuant: People learned how to write an e-mail, because it’s not so different from writing postal mail on a typewriter. But I can’t convince the IT (Navision) companies in the UK I’m doing job interviews with from here Budapest to use a webcam and Skype for an interview, they stick to the usual phone call first, then personal meeting scenario, simply because video chat has no former habit in history to hook it up to.

[Making Light] Making Light: Open thread 107: (But I also wasn't looking for Improving Books for Young People, just books I'd enjoy reading.) House Like a Lotus is probably a bit outside the range you'd call YA (it deals with some moderately heavy stuff), but its protagonist is a smart moderately outcast 16 year old girl and it seemed to me to hold together pretty well. I also liked a lot of Heinlein's stuff which was supposedly written for juveniles, but which was actually often him slipping stuff past the prudes[2].
