The Affinity Bridge - George Mann

I'm in the midst of reading The Affinity Bridge, and I just have to say...a lot of books, especially mystery novels, seem too stream-of-consciousness to really suit their genre. This one, however...the narrative is impeccably crafted, and clearly done so with intent. Textbook execution is not always a bad thing. This feels like the heir to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, not some hack trying to imitate him. Definitely worth the time.

RSS capable?

Does anyone who is savvier than I am (not hard) know of a way to get an RSS feed or similar of someone's LJ? It would help a friend who is having access issues at work.

The last Lakota Code Talker has passed

The last of the speakers of the uncrackable code that kept the Japanese and Germans from translating Allied radio transmissions during WWII: Clarence Wolf Guts, aged 86. He was also one of the three developpers of that code. Without these Native Americans, the war could have had a horribly different outcome. Hilter was a crazy moron, destined to fall apart. Hirohito was NOT.

Rest in Peace, Pfc. Wolf Guts.
