Free: The Future of a Radical Price

I train endurance riding which means long hours in the saddle, mainly at a brisk walk. Often I take the opportunity of so much uninterupted time listen to an ebook or a podcast. Yesterday I downloaded Chris Andersons Free: The Future of a Radical Price and found him a wonderfully entertaining companion. The book has received criticism for being heavily wikipedia researched and maybe it shows in the print version but hardly in the audio version. Chris reads it well and I find myself chuckling frequently. He entertains and is thought-provoking. Highly recommended!

(Chris Anderson is editor of chief of Wired magazine. He was U.S. business editor at The Economist. He began his career at the two premier science journals Science and Nature. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from George Washington University and studied Quantum Mechanics and Science Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.)

About

This blog is dedicated to collecting information about software and hardware that I find interesting, fun and useful as a physician/geek.

I've tacked on a Projects page where I journal my ongoing geeky medical projects.

Many thanks to Wordpress for the wonderful blogging engine! I have worked with Joomla for a number of years but found it overkill for my purpose. This blog took literally minutes to set up!

And thanks to Andrei Luca for his cool LightWord theme. It rocks. I know I am not the only one loving it - as of today it has been downloaded more than 80 000 times!

Have fun!
