  • “Burn Book” by Kara Swisher A book about Big Tech and Tech Giants by the one journalist, who followed the development in Silicon Valley from the beginning. So far I like it very much. Swisher is still convinced, that tech (companies) can make this place a better world, if it wasn’t for the irresponsibility of its owners. It’s comforting to see her love for tech, her frustration with company leaders, and her firm belief, that it might still work out somehow. I’m curious, how it will go on and what she thinks might help getting tech back on track.



  • First, I love characters that are regularly puzzled by human beings / being human:
    Spock
    Data
    Odo
    The Doctor
    Seven of Nine
    Saru

    Second, I love strong female characters:
    Katherine Pulaski
    Kira Nerys
    Kathryn Janeway!!!
    SNW Uhura
    SNW Chapel

    Third, I love queer characters:
    Guinan
    Garak
    Jadzia Dax
    Adira and Gray

    I might have forgotten an awfull lot of equally amiable characters, which doesn’t mean that I don’t love them.
