Burn Book: A Tech Love Story | Kara Swisher

pick

Swisher recounts her professional journalism career reporting on tech and tech giants that matches the swagger that is needed to go ego to ego in covering them. Mostly recaps of events and interviews. Jobs is painted well; Musk is taken down. Interesting points on tech.

pick

Part memoir and part illuminating tales from the technology world and its leaders, by award winning journalist Kara Swisher. I loved her insights, entrepreneurial spirit and ability to call out powerful people.

Soul of a New Machine | Tracy Kidder

This is such a crazy idea! I love nonfiction- especially narrative nonfic; my most memorable entry to reading something “true” for FUN? Let me introduce you to Tracy Kidder. #TLT #ThreeListThursday #NonFiction

1. Tagged book. Inspired me to read all of Kidder‘s books (I haven‘t 🫤) but Mountains Beyond Mountains is another of his extremely inspirational reads.
2. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah - LISTEN 🎧 to this!!!!

Ada's Algorithm: How Lord Byron's Daughter Ada Lovelace Launched the Digital Age | James Essinger

I've been more of a lurker than a poster lately because it's been such a busy period at work for me, but I have read books and ticked off some prompts, and I'm pretty much on track with the #52bookclub24 challenge.
(Further comments and links to books in comments.)

eeclayton (4) Women in STEM -- What a fascinating story, and what a disappointing book. For much of the book, Ada fades into the background. Also, the edition I read had been poorly written, poorly edited, poorly translated, or a combination of all three. I wish more effort had been put into the project.

eeclayton (20) A revenge story -- A re-read with fellow Littens #NoPlaceLikeHolmes I found the character studies way more enjoyable than the mystery in this one.

A Study in Scarlet

3mo

eeclayton (30) Picked without reading the blurb -- A mixed bag: some sections were focused and informative, others a bit all-over-the-place, as if the author couldn't resist including each fact and anecdote that he'd come across. I enjoyed those chapters the most where I went in with some prior knowledge about the leader being discussed.

eeclayton (44) Includes a wedding -- The second book in Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles trilogy (a retelling of the Arthurian legend). Happily it fits a prompt, but I would have read it anyway 😄

Best Android Apps | Mike Hendrickson, Brian Sawyer

Let me preface by saying this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with the tagged book. It's just that my post is Android and ap related so the title fit. 🙄

And to the point of my post... I so so so so so so so so so so so so soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo miss the Litsy ap! (⬇️)

monkeygirlsmama (⤴️) I had it on my iPad years back and on my Android phone. However, when I upgraded phones I lost my ap and now you can no longer download it. Compared to the ap having to use the website from my phone is uber clunky and not user friendly when it comes to uploading. I have tried the workaround link that someone shared on GoodReads, but it didn't work for me. Any idea if @Litsy is ever gonna get this fixed and back in the AP store?! 🤞 4mo

Deblovestoread @julesG knows how to get Litsy back on your Android phone. Can you help, Jules? 4mo

Suet624 @julesG may be able to help you. 4mo

julesG @Deblovestoread @suet624 - yes, I might be able to help. 4mo

julesG Download the APK file and open it. Here's the link: https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android Open the APK file. Your phone might say it's from an unreliable source, but you can tell your phone it isn't. This should install the Litsy App on Android. 4mo

Suet624 @julesG thank you for your help. Hopefully it works for @monkeygirlsmama 4mo

monkeygirlsmama @julesG Thanks! I I will try this after work, but I *think* this is the same workaround that someone on GoodReads told me about, and it wouldn't work for me. It downloaded but I could never get signed in. 4mo

julesG If you can download the app and install it on your phone, but can't log in....🤔 I suppose you've tried all the other possible sources of problems - restarting your phone, restarting your router. Well, I hope it works this time around. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 4mo

Liz_M @bnp see comments above 3mo

monkeygirlsmama @julesG OMG OMG OMG it worked this time!!! 😁😁😁😁😁Thank you so much!!!! I can't not begin to tell you how excited I am to have my Litsy app back. Yay! Thank you a million times over. 💙 3mo

julesG 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations! 3mo
