Small Fry Has the Last Word
February 21st, 2020 · No Comments
Small Fry: A Memoir is a very particular coming of age memoir, particular because it is by Steve Jobs’s first born child, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, whose existence he had difficultly acknowledging. Reading the book, I felt myself transported to Ms. Brennan-Jobs’s Palo Alto world. I slunk down leafy sidewalks with her, rooting for her efforts to be independent of household turmoil, her mother serial dating and having trouble with household expenses, her father vacillating between support and abandonment. I shared her bafflement at her father’s frequent, punishing admonition: If you want to be part of this family, you’ll have to put in the time. I think, without realizing it, Steve Jobs was talking about himself. I wish Ms. Brennan-Jobs all the best.

Last night I watched Ellen Degeneres here and now. Ellen talks about procrastination. Just what I needed to hear. Such serendipity!
I’ve been procrastinating like crazy lately. I’m busy busy busy. Too busy to get to what I really want to do—work on my websites! Why why why?

The Godless Part of the Brain: A not very Scientific Interpretation
July 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
The “God” Part of the Brain: A Scientific Interpretation of Human Spirituality and God . . . and a Personal Journey (2006, originally published 1996) by Matthew Alper is an essay, really, and it’s hardly scientific. Rather the book is a general and incomplete survey of religious practice and persecution undertaken by the author ostensibly to discover for himself whether there is a God, a subject of interest to him because he knows that he will, one day, die.
