The Churn by James S.A. Corey My rating: 4 of 5 stars Interesting novella set in the Expanse universe about the criminal elements seen on Earth at the time that the expanse takes place. Some interesting stories which show elements of day to day life outside of the squeaky clean offices of the UN. Most of the book is about people not really mentioned in the regular books, but at the

The Architecture of Productive Learning Networks by Lucila Carvalho My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'd give it 3.5 stars if GoodReads would allow it. This is an interesting book on case studies (essentially) on how people have implemented Networked Learning in their various environments. Some examples might resonate with you, and others might be too alien. Overall I think it's a good idea book. Some

Άλλο ένα εικοσάχρονο τραγούδι...

The top song for this week seems to be the same as a few weeks ago...so let's bump down to #3 Te Regalo by Ulices Chaidez y Sus Plebes Verdict: Definitely an acquired taste (sort of how certain Greek music is an acquired taste if you haven't grown up listening to it :-)  )

Looking forward to reading more

Escalation hit the interwebs last week, and having played a bit this weekend it's not bad!  The Smoke & Mirrors mission reminded me a little of Star Wars (the aesthetic), and a little bit of Captain Planet (the "don't mess up your planet by polluting, Kids!) I played a bit in the competitive warzone queues and the space one is definitely my favorite or the two. The ground missions (invisible

Ήρθε και ο Μάϊος...καλή μας πρωτομαγιά, καλό μήνα, και καλό τέλος στα σχολικά σας έτη! Κάπου κάποιος υπάρχει που ήδη πάει θάλασσα ;-)

Εντάξει, δεν είναι και ρετρό μουσική, αλλά μου έχει κολλήσει στο μυαλό αυτή την εβδομάδα ;-)

The other day I wrapped up the campaign part of Battlefield 4 (which is really the only part of most games I play).  I was originally thinking that it would pick up from Battlefield 3, but this game seems to be (more or less) self contained.  With the exception of meeting "dima" in one of the stages in the middle part of the game.  Dima being one of the characters involved in the
