Wool Omnibus May 14, 12, 11:09 a.m.

I would normall post this in the sci-fi book thread, but I think it's so good that it deserves its own.

As a long-time sci-fi fan, I'm always on the lookout for a great book to read in the genre, but they're far and few between. On top of a great sci-fi concept, in order to be great, it also has to employ great writing and characters. Isaac Asimov, Heinlein and Vonnegut (amongst many others) were great at this and have gone down in history as the great sci-fi authors. I think we have a new addition: Hugh Howey.

Hugh Howey wrote a short story called Wool just under a year ago. He self-published this novelette and developed a quick and strong following. With encouragement from fans, he wrote several more books in the series over the last few months. These have been released as a single book entitled Wool Omnibus.

Of the current 690 Amazon reviews, 618 are 5 star. I couldn't resist, so I bought a copy. They aren't wrong. If you're a sci-fi fan, buy this now, you won't be disappointed.

Cycle race sponsorship Jan 31, 12, 12:19 p.m.

Hello QBN. After unsuccessful Googling, I'm reaching out to all of you for help finding examples of how sponsors have addressed their branding in sponsoring a cycle race. I'm developing everything from signage (along and above the course) to our tent environment and giveaways, but this is an area I have little knowledge of. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Wormhole Switch Jan 27, 12, 12:45 p.m.

At work I am forced to use a Mac and a PC. The Mac is where I do my design work, the PC is where I do my emailing. I find myself transferring files between both computers dozens of times a day just to email them. I have to forward emails to get them on the other machine so that I can copy the text. Shared folders, network drives and USB thumb drives are all working, but I just discovered this Wormhole Switch and I have to say, I'm blown away.

It essentially turns ANY two computers into one. Plug-and-play and I can now move my mouse from one screen to the other. Copy paste from one computer to the next. Amazing, and I highly recommend it.

To a better workflow.
